We did not get to experience a true 'hotel' experience at Palazzo Paruta. Instead, we got to stay in a private apartment nearby in Campo Sant'Angelo! We figured we got this upgrade because it was right after Carnivale and thus a slower time of year for them.
Not complaining!
Check-in was incredibly smooth. Our guy carried our luggage out the hotel, through a small bridge, into the city square, and up to our apartment. Our Venetian apartment!!!
Our apartment was insanely huge, very modern, and loft-like. We slept under exposed rafters and had a washer and dryer (which we did not use). The kitchen was fully useable, with glasses, utensils, pots, pans, etc... It was really more like an Airbnb (but much better) than a hotel room.
In the mornings, you could hear folks getting from point A to point B in the square, people working on neighboring buildings, and random conversations in passing. As we were in and out of the building, it really felt like we were locals for a few days.
The hotel itself is absolutely stunning, very palatial. If Venice were a destination again, would definitely want to stay in one of the rooms, but am so happy we had the apartment!
