A 15th-Century Palace Re-imagined

Elegant Rooms with Canal Views
Charming elegance, warmth, and uniqueness are all considered when furnishing all the CHC Continental rooms. Rich colors and high-quality fabric combined with tastefully selected furnishings create a warm environment that honors the historic building.

All of the bedrooms are air-conditioned, with satellite television and free Wi-Fi, combined with spacious en-suite bathrooms, to ensure that style and comfort are forever in balance.
The joy of waking up to the gentle splashing of by-passing gondolas and sunlight filtering down the canal is one of the most enduring joys of the hotel.
Gourmet Canal Dining
At the hotel's Ristorante Principessa, a gourmet adventure as refined as its setting lies in wait. The traditional Venetian classics, regional wines, and international specialties are all prepared using the finest freshest seasonal ingredients.
