Aman Venice, Venezia

In the heart of Venice, Italy, beside the Grand Canal, Aman Venice finds home in the resplendent 16th-century Palazzo Papadopoli, just a two-minute walk from a vaporetto stop and the iconic Piazza San Marco.

Almost all of Aman Venice’s 24 suites overlook the canal, many also feature unique architectural and artistic features – from painted frescoes to carved fireplaces – by greats such as Tiepolo and Sansovino, redolent of the palazzo’s storied past.

Amenities include two signature dining venues and an elegant cocktail bar, alongside a gym, roof terrace and serene Aman Spa. The hotel also offers two private gardens – an unusual feature in this floating city.
