Nolinski Venezia - Evok Collection

The Best Hotels in Venice, From Five-Star Grande Dames to Design Boutiques | Vogue

"Housed in the former stock exchange just minutes from St. Mark’s, this 2023 arrival brings EVOK’s first hotel outside France and an aesthetic unlike anything else in town. You’re whisked to a third‑floor reception where Yann Le Coadic and Alessandro Scotto’s understated, sumptuous interiors mix contemporary furniture and art with sparing Venetian signatures—Murano chandeliers and lavish terrazzo. Dining impresses: Il Caffé serves fresh spins on pan‑Italian classics like panzanella with burrata and a crisp veal Milanese in a leafy courtyard, while Chef Philip Chronopoulos’s Michelin‑starred Palais Royal Restaurant blends Greek, French, and Venetian influences in a striking former auditorium ringed by modernist arches. A jewel‑box bar of red velvet banquettes and art‑book‑lined shelves sets the mood, but the crown is the top‑floor pool with windows on every side; time a spa visit to sunset and it feels like floating in a gilded cocoon above the rooftops." - Liam Hess
