Grand palazzo
Centrally located on the Grand Canal between the famous Rialto Bridge and the Accademia Bridge, the Palazzo Sant’Angelo is in the centre of Venice in the San Marco district. The Piazza San Marco, Doge’s Palace, Fenice Theatre and Palazzo Grazzi are all within easy walking distance of this luxury hotel, or guests can use the vaporetto which stops close by.
Like most boutique hotels which achieve the Condé Nast Gold List accolade, the Palazzo Sant’Angelo is an exceptional luxury hotel in Venice’s historic San Marco district. This lovely canal-side palazzo was also awarded ‘Best Luxury Hotel in Venice’ by Trip Adviser Travellers’ Choice 2008 and certainly has an excellent reputation to live up to.
The hotel’s 26 rooms and suites capture the true essence of Venice with luxurious fabrics and wall coverings in rich colours and decadent style. The furniture is all 18th century antiques, in keeping with the history and atmosphere of this luxury hotel. Window dressings are gathered and draped, pictures are timeless, mirrors are gilt-framed and tables are filled with vases of flowers, graceful lamps and antique knick-knacks. Beds are comfortably soft and inviting. Each of these lovely rooms is spacious and furnished with exquisite taste and attention to detail. The fabulous bathrooms of each room and suite are lined with precious carrara and green alp marble with heated towel rails, elegant taps, luxurious jacuzzis and stylishly designed sinks. Views from each guest room of the Palazzo Sant’ Angelo look out over the Grand Canal, the quieter side canal or the peaceful courtyard garden.
Breakfast is served in the elegant wood-panelled hall with superb views across the Grand Canal to the fine Venetian buildings opposite. The sumptuous décor is matched by the equally excellent standards of efficient service from the professionally trained staff.
The hotel bar enjoys a beautiful, scenic view overlooking the canal as guests enjoy cocktails, martinis and fine wines. Standing proudly right on the waterfront, the hotel has its own private boat wharf – a coveted status symbol of a true luxury hotel in Venice.
