"A historic 16th-century palazzo on the Grand Canal that exudes Old World Venetian opulence across 82 jewel-box rooms and suites furnished with damask wallpaper and antiques, alongside refined public spaces like the elegant Bar Longhi. A more modern Riva Lounge provides an outdoor terrace and views over the canal, and the hotel offers a private Riva speedboat for glamorous lagoon excursions, continuing a legacy of welcoming illustrious international guests for decades." - Laura Itzkowitz, Erica Firpo
