Along the fabled Grand Canal you can't help noticing a noble facade in gothic style: the Bauer Il Palazzo. This five-star luxury class hotel is located in an original Venetian house from the 18th century. Bauer Il Palazzo has two entrances: a private jetty on the Grand Canal and a doorway in the quieter Calletta dei XIII Martiri, so it's well suited to anyone wanting to lead a discreet private life, yet it's right in the heart of the city.
Under decorative inlaid ceilings and surrounded by Chinese vases and antique tapestries by master craftsmen Bevilacqua and Rubelli, today's most refined travellers can enjoy living in the opulent atmosphere of a Venetian nobleman's period house brought up to date with modern services and conveniences.
The exquisite taste and personal touch of proprietress and native Venetian, Francesca Bortolotto Possati, is evident in the lavish detail and luxurious decor of each and every one of the spacious 44 guest rooms and 38 suites. The blend of both new and old, Venetian-crafted flourishes create a passion and spirit alive with the romance and style of a grand and noble Venetian experience. Whether it's the exotic island temptation of a tango lesson under Venetian stars or a rooftop dinner party with your own private Soprano crooning the Venetian lyrics to composers gone by, we are poised to turn your dreams into reality.
