In the heart of the Dorsoduro district, this former Venetian palace has been transformed into a charming boutique hotel with a contemporary touch. Il Palazzo Experimental is a crossroads for visitors and locals. The Palazzo is near cultural attractions but slightly off the main tourist path, with a secret back garden that lets out onto a quiet canal served by the hotel’s own pontoon. All 32 rooms combine comfort with atouch of Italian design reflecting the hotel’s neighborhood.
