Aman Venice
Relive Venice's golden age in a historic Grand Canal-side palazzo
The sumptuous Aman Venice sits within the 16th century Palazzo Padaopoli, right on the Grand Canal moments west of the Rialto Bridge. A work of architect Gian Giacomo dé Grigi, the Aman Venice holds museum-quality treasures including Tiepolo frescoes, gilded ceilings and centuries-old leather wall coverings.
Arriving at the property by boat, step out into the lofty reception hall and ascend a grand stairway to the piano nobile, traditionally the grandest floor of a palazzo, in the Padaopoli’s case designed by renewed 18th century neo-classicist Michelangelo Guggenheim.
Each of the Aman Venice’s 24 rooms are a unique space capturing the opulence of the city’s romantic heyday, featuring original architectural details and the work of a number of Italy’s great artists. Contemporary furnishings complement antique chandeliers, wood panelling, and protected frescos. A selection of the rooms offer incredible Grand Canal views.
Leading from the piano nobile are the Blue Bar and the Yellow and Red Dining Rooms. The former, with a magnificent fireplace and Cesare Rotta ceiling mural, overlooks the canal, while the latter has views of the hotel’s canal side garden – a real rarity in Venice – where alfresco dining is possible in the summer months. Upstairs on the third storey is a spa and its three treatment rooms.
With the canals of Venice quite literally at the doorstep, this city begs to be explored. The Aman Venice also offers its own private box at the nearby Teatro La Fenice for a night at the opera.

Places to combine Aman Venice with
Venice
At the Grand Canal’s edge, the historic Gritti Palace occupies a building that dates back to 1475 as a private home for the noble Pisani family, followed by the distinguished Doge of Venice, Andrea Gritti.
Carefully restored in 2013, the Gritti’s heritage and culture have blended with a renewed Venetian style. 61 luxurious guest rooms and 21 sumptuous suites, including some with canal views, are replete with rare archival fabrics, the finest Italian marbles and a stunning array of new and original chandeliers from Murano, as well as the latest technology and sumptuous beds.
Gritti’s famous terrace has long been a social hub. The splendid Bar Longhi features some of the best cocktails in Venice and the Club del Doge Restaurant features regional specialties, casual chic by day and a more formal affair at dinner. The palace is also home to the Gritti Epicurean School, an informal Venetian open kitchen that hosts wine tastings, cooking workshops and celebrations.
Well located by the Grand Canal on the southern edge of the San Marco district, Venice’s great opera house, cathedrals, museums and palazzos are all close by.
