Palazzo Veneziano

Venice


Overlooking the Giudecca Canal at the front and the impossibly picturesque Ognissanti canal at the rear, this large hotel offers a large variety of swish rooms, some of which have terraces with outdoor spa pools. The bar is cosy and there is outdoor seating under copper palm trees in the warmer months.
