Il Palazzo Experimental is a contemporary 4* design hotel located on the Canal Della Guideca, in the heart of the Dorsoduro district of Venice, Italy. The splendid interior design is inspired by antiquity, the lagoon and Venetian facades. The hotel has been awarded 1 Clef by the Michelin Guide.

 

Reservation

We recommend booking your stay at Palazzo Experimental via Booking.com, which often offers free cancellation. Send us a message on Instagram if you go, it would make us super happy.

The price per night for 2 people starts at 180€ for a room and 400€ for a suite, with breakfast included. A rather attractive rate compared to the average in Venice!

 

The rooms

The hotel offers 32 rooms and suites ranging from 15 to 45 square meters spread over two floors. Some rooms on the first floor, the Piano Nobile, boast incredibly high ceilings, approximately 5 meters.

Depending on the room or suite you choose, you will enjoy the following amenities: view of the canal and lagoon, king-size bed, private bathroom with bathtub or shower, air conditioning, flat-screen TV, and minibar with local specialties.

 

The garden facing the canal

Among the highlights of the Palazzo Experimental: the secret indoor garden overlooking the small Canal dei Ognissanti with private pontoon, the quality of the facilities, the privatizable terrace on the roof of the hotel with an unmissable view, and the multilingual staff. The team is trilingual: Italian, English and French.

 

The typical restaurant

For your meals, don't miss the Adriatica restaurant which focuses on freshness and creative cuisine. On the menu: delicious fish carpaccio, mushroom and turnip consommé with pickles or black cabbage and succulent mussels. The high quality products come mainly from the Italian coastal regions: Friuli, Marche, Abruzzo, Molise, Puglia and, of course, Veneto.

 

Location

You are on the quays of the Zattere, in front of the Guidecca Island, away from the crowds. Dorsoduro is a secret neighborhood full of charm, still inhabited by Venetians. Many art galleries are located there. And around? Around it, there is all of Venice! Since the early Middle Ages, the city of 118 connected islands has made an unparalleled contribution to history. So take the time to discover it, leave the crowds behind and... Marvel at it!
