Aqua Palace Hotel in Venezia, open June–September.
Aqua Palace Hotel rises along Venice's Calle de la Malvasia with direct views across the Venetian waterways and historic facades.
The property commands 4-5 stories of Renaissance-influenced architecture overlooking the lagoon's shifting light and water traffic.
Guests arrive by water taxi or private boat, making the approach itself part of the ceremonial experience.
From a warm welcome to a friendly send-off, our stay was excellent. The hotel arranged airport transfers for arrival and departure, slightly pricey but well worth the convenience. Our spacious room captured authentic Venetian charm and offered two lovely canal views. The team was consistently welcoming and attentive, and the breakfast staff were outstanding; breakfast was included. The location is ideal, about a 10–15 minute walk to the main sights, yet just far enough from the busiest crowds to feel peaceful. Highly recommended.
