Palazzina Grassi

Palazzina Grassi, a 5-star romantic retreat in Venice's vibrant San Marco district, captivates with its avant-garde elegance, perched along the Grand Canal.

The 26 air-conditioned rooms and suites, designed by Philippe Starck, exude eclectic luxury with bespoke furnishings, Murano glass accents, and surrealist touches. Each features flat-screen TVs, minibars, safety deposit boxes, and private bathrooms with Ortigia toiletries, with select suites offering private balconies overlooking the canal or Venice's rooftops, weaving the city's romantic allure into every stay.

PG's Restaurant serves refined Venetian cuisine—think cuttlefish ink risotto or grilled lagoon fish—paired with prosecco or artisanal cocktails from the chic Krug Lounge, a haven for exclusive champagne tastings. A lavish breakfast buffet, brimming with fresh cornetti, local cheeses, and seasonal fruits, is savoured on a canal-view terrace or via room service, with nearby eateries like Bistrot de Venise offering seafood delights.

Steps from La Fenice Theatre, Piazza San Marco, and the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, the hotel's prime location invites exploration of Venice's cultural heart. A 24-hour concierge curates bespoke experiences, from private gondola rides to Murano glassblowing tours, with Rialto Bridge and Scala Contarini del Bovolo a short stroll away.
