NH Collection Venezia Grand Hotel Palazzo dei Dogi
Located in tranquil Cannaregio district, far from the throngs of tourists but with Venice's landmarks within easy reach, the NH Collection Venezia Grand Hotel Palazzo dei Dogi is an artwork of Italian charm. Once an aristocratic palace, this 17th-century palace was later transformed into a five-star hotel that preserves the history of ancient Venice without compromising the upscale comforts of modern hospitality.
The palace faces along the Fondamenta Madonna dell'Orto, a peaceful waterway beneath whose venerable façades gondolas glide silently. The size of the palace design—its marble floors, Murano chandeliers, and frescoed ceilings—testifies to Venetian nobility, yet the atmosphere within is one of peace, beauty, and sincerity.
Refined Rooms with Aristocratic Charm
Each of the 64 rooms and suites of Palazzo dei Dogi reflects the opulence and comfort of Venetian traditional lifestyles. From the carved wooden furniture to the dripping drapes and exquisite chandeliers, all have been chosen in a bid to recapture the grandeur of the city's aristocratic heritage.
Guests may unwind in classic canal-view rooms, garden suites, or deluxe junior suites facing Venice's rooftops and private courtyards. Each of these rooms is equipped with air conditioning, complimentary Wi-Fi, minibar, and Nespresso machine to facilitate old-world luxury at its best.
The stylish bathrooms, finished in marble and equipped with lavish amenities, add to the coziness of the stay. Whether it is for a weekend of romance or for an extended duration, the patrons find themselves in surroundings that harmoniously combine sophistication with tranquility.
The Secret Garden: A Hidden Venetian Treasure
One of the largest appeals of the hotel is its private garden, one of the biggest in Venice. A green oasis in a city built on water, it gives tourists a peaceful refuge for coffee in the morning, afternoon siesta, or sunset strolls.
This isolated garden, complete with its water features and seasonal flowers, gives out onto the hotel's private pier—a convenient point of disembarkation for water buses and vaporetto travel. It's also the perfect ambiance for wedding receptions and other private parties, where the scent of roses and distant tolling of church bells linger long afterward.
Dining: Venetian Flavours in a Refined Setting
The Il Giardino Segreto Restaurant is the hotel's culinary hub, where guests enjoy contemporary Venetian and Italian cuisine prepared with the freshest seasonal ingredients. The restaurant's cozy dining room and garden veranda offer a convivial atmosphere of understated elegance, ideal for intimate dinners or elegant soirees.
Signature dishes pay tribute to the region's sea-faring history with fresh, locally caught seafood paired with fine Italian wines. The Lounge Bar, with its warm amenities and upscale ambiance, invites guests to sit back and unwind with a hand-crafted cocktail or glass of prosecco as they watch gondolas glide by.
Unparalleled Service and Amenities
The NH Collection Venezia Grand Hotel Palazzo dei Dogi excels with exceptional service and attention to detail. The concierge team provides personalized service—anything from arranging private gondola tours and airport transfers to recommending local restaurants and cultural activities.
Guests also have use of the hotel's wellness area, with massage and peaceful relaxation space ideal after a day of exploration. Business travelers appreciate elegant meeting facilities with cutting-edge technology in an inspiring environment for business meetings or executive retreats.
Each guest is treated to being a valued visitor to a Venetian nobleman's home—welcomed warmly, professionally, and respectfully.
Ideal Setting for Cultural Exploration
Though quietly tucked away in Cannaregio, the hotel is easily accessible to the greatest attractions of Venice. The Madonna dell'Orto Church, a Gothic wonder, is nearby steps from the property, and the Rialto Bridge, St. Mark's Square, and Grand Canal are a short vaporetto ride away from the nearby stop.
The district itself has a strong local character, with artists' workshops, tiny cafés, and ancient osterie uncovering the Venice of the past—real, subdued, and irresistibly romantic. This union of remoteness and proximity makes Palazzo dei Dogi a top pick for visitors who desire seclusion and immersion in the cultural rhythm of the city.
