The Palazzina Grassi is an exclusive 5-star boutique hotel, the only one in Italy entirely designed by the starchitect Philippe Starck. Located in an elegant 17th-century palace in the quiet San Marco Sestiere, in the San Samuele area, the hotel boasts a privileged position directly overlooking the Grand Canal and a private water taxi dock. It is renowned as the “most glamorous” spot in Venice, ideal for luxury stays, exclusive events, and parties.
The 25 rooms and 5 suites are bright and feature a contemporary and “ExtraOrdinary” charm, sharply contrasting with the historic Venetian architecture. The most prestigious accommodations offer spectacular views of the Grand Canal, including the luxurious Signature Suite and the attic suite with a view. Other rooms and junior suites overlook the picturesque rooftops of Venice; some, like the Suite with Terrace and Hammam, feature private outdoor spaces or in-room wellness facilities.
The in-house restaurant offers an innovative approach to Italian and Venetian cuisine, complete with a “show kitchen” and a fresh, contemporary atmosphere. Breakfast service is extended until noon. The hotel features an elegant Lounge with Grand Canal view and a Rooftop Terrace, which often host private events, DJ sets, and dinner shows, contributing to its sophisticated reputation.
The location is strategic: it is adjacent to the famous Palazzo Grassi, home to important art exhibitions, and is well-connected to the rest of the city (vaporetto stops Sant’Angelo/San Samuele). Exclusive services include 24-hour concierge service, 24-hour room service, organization of private transfers (water taxi), and the possibility of arranging unique experiences such as cooking classes with the chef at the Rialto Market. The hotel is also noted for its commitment to sustainability (energy saving, elimination of single-use plastic).
