I recently stayed at Hotel Palazzo Giovanelli during a spring getaway to Venice, and I absolutely loved it. This historic property has been thoughtfully and tastefully remodeled, and the results are breathtakingly beautiful—combining modern luxury with classic Venetian charm. Upon entering, I was immediately taken by the elegant lobby. The renovation shines through in the clean architectural lines, contemporary art pieces, and chic furnishings. Natural light floods the common spaces, giving an open, airy ambiance. It’s obvious that no detail was spared when updating this once-classic palazzo into a sophisticated hotel experience. My room was equally impressive. Spacious yet cozy, it featured a plush king-size bed, soft linens, and a well-designed layout that maximizes convenience without sacrificing aesthetics. The modern bathroom was a delight—complete with a walk-in rain shower, premium toiletries, sleek fixtures, and excellent water pressure. I particularly appreciated the thoughtful amenities like accessible USB outlets by the bedside, strong Wi‑Fi, and generous storage space. Service at Palazzo Giovanelli was consistently warm and professional. The staff welcomed me with genuine smiles and were always ready to provide excellent recommendations—from hidden local eateries to the best vaporetto stops. They took great care of luggage arrangements and helped secure early-shuttle assistance, which made early travel days much smoother. Location-wise, it couldn’t be better. Nestled on the Grand Canal just a few minutes from the Santa Lucia train station, it offers picturesque water views and easy access to Venice’s iconic sights. Yet inside, the hotel is a peaceful oasis—rarely did I hear any canal noise. Breakfast was another highlight: a lovely buffet featuring fresh pastries, local cheeses, cured meats, fruit, and hot espresso—sets you up perfectly for exploring the city. In summary, Hotel Palazzo Giovanelli delivers an incredible stay—melding modern sophistication with historical elegance. If you’re seeking a stylish, comfortable, and beautifully renovated retreat in Venice, this hotel is an outstanding choice. Highly recommended—I can’t wait to return!

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to all the staff we met last week during our 4 night stay - we were made to feel so welcome and at home. Venice is a beautiful city and we were blessed with great weather (at the beginning of March even!) therefore fortunate to see a lot of it. But what makes for a great holiday are the people you meet - thank you all for making our trip so memorable.

My husband and I stayed here the end of October for 3 nights and could not have chosen a better hotel. Beautiful accommodations, lovely courtyard where we enjoyed our cappuccinos and attentive staff make this a great choice. Breakfast is included and the waiters are top notch. Highly recommend!

We have just returned from a 2-night stay at this lovely hotel. It is well positioned for all the sights and there is a public water taxi stop next to the front of the hotel. The staff make all the difference. Valentino and another young man, whose name I didn’t get, were on reception for the 2 nights we were there. They didn’t stay behind the desk but came out and circulated and were engaging with all the customers, genuinely interested in what everyone had been doing. As front of house, they were outstanding. We had a side canal view. We paid a premium and being only 5’2” if I leant out, with my husband holding my ankles, I could see the Grand Canal. Not sure I would go for this option again. The room itself was small but very comfortable. We both slept very well. The only niggle was breakfast. I would like this to be self-service. On entering the breakfast room, we were advised that we had to have table service we were automatically given some bread rolls and croissants on the table. I like to have a look and then choose my own size portions, normally small. I observed that several people seemed to want to do self-service, but this wasn’t an option. A lot of rolls and croissants weren’t used as not everyone wanted them and I assume went to the bin. Also I just like to be left to do my own thing at breakfast. Table service for tea and coffee would be good. Unfortunately, this is something that would put me off using the hotel again. The only other small issue for me is the individual shampoo etc in the bathroom. I much prefer refillable dispensers which create far less plastic waste.

We arrived to the hotel via water taxi from the Venice airport. It was about a 15-20 minute boat ride. The staff were very friendly. The front door is the grand canal. The back door is a little alley way that leads to the town. staff accommodated our large group of 13. All our rooms were on the second floor. We had little balconies. Our room had views of the back while our parents had a great view of the canals. Our room had two twin beds. Everything was super clean in our hotel. They had continental breakfast which was a small buffet but they seat you and serve you. So friendly and breakfast was great. we enjoyed our stay here. Would definitely stay here again if we come back to Venice.
