Palazzina Grassi

Philippe Starck's only Italian hotel — a 16th-century Grand Canal palazzo reimagined as Venice's most theatrical boutique stay. Twenty-five rooms of all-white provocation, Murano glass chandeliers, and 289 handcrafted mirrors. Bold, specific, not for everyone.

Stuff You Should Know

The entrance is deliberately unmarked.  If you want Grand Canal views, book specifically for them; most rooms face the rooftops or the alley. The all-white rooms are a deliberate contrast to the dark public spaces — don’t expect consistency, that’s the point. Terrace is closed in winter and shoulder seasons. Palazzo Grassi contemporary art gallery is literally next door — worth building your itinerary around.

Food + Drink On-site surprises

Venetian Cuisine in a Starck-Designed Baroque Hall

The restaurant occupies the hotel’s most dramatic space — a baroque ground-floor hall framed by 19th-century columns and two seven-metre tables, one marble, one mirrored glass. Breakfast through dinner, Mediterranean and Italian with a contemporary edge. The Lounge is where the hotel’s social life actually happens: dark wood, Murano glass chandeliers, good cocktails. For serious aperitivo, the Krug Champagne Bar adds a layer of theatre that suits the building perfectly. The food is solid rather than destination-worthy — you’re not coming here for a culinary pilgrimage, but you won’t be disappointed either. Breakfast in particular gets consistently strong reviews.
