Palazzo Venart Luxury Hotel: A Grand Canal Palace with Two Michelin Stars

Palazzo Venart is a jewel-box of a hotel on the Grand Canal in the quiet Santa Croce district of Venice, a restored 16th-century palace with richly decorated rooms and, rare for the city, a private walled garden running down to the water. It offers a sense of privacy and calm hard to find in central Venice.

Its dining is a genuine destination. GLAM holds two Michelin stars, the Venetian creation of celebrated chef Enrico Bartolini with chef Donato Ascani, serving classic Venetian fare through modern techniques in the magnolia-shaded courtyard, one of the very few two-star tables in the Serenissima.

For a serene, gastronomic Venice stay on the Grand Canal, Palazzo Venart is a standout.
