The Venice Venice Hotel
FODOR’S EXPERT REVIEW
This self-proclaimed post-venezianità, or post-Venetian, hotel from the founders of the cult Venice-based sneaker brand Golden Goose lives inside one of the city’s oldest palazzos, 13th-century Ca’ da Mosto, and turns traditional Venetian style on its head. All 43 guest rooms are unique and individually designed, from the cozy post-Venetian rooms to the expansive family lofts and suites, some of which include freestanding tubs, steam rooms, exercise equipment, private balconies overlooking the Grand Canal—and, for the ultimate luxury, your very own pool. Artworks borrowed from the owners’ private art collection, from the likes of Cy Twombly, Joseph Beuys, and Bruce Nauman, adorn the walls throughout the property. Aperitivo on the terrace overlooking the Grand Canal is a can’t-miss event, especially the Erose Americano cocktail paired with a fine selection of cichetti (snacks). While there’s no full spa, they do have a treatment room, as well as a small indoor pool and Turkish bath that can be rented for an extra charge. The Venice M’Art concept store attached to the hotel sells not only Golden Goose sneakers, but a carefully curated selection of covetable objects, from bath products to housewares, so you can take a taste of Venice Venice’s impeccable aesthetic home with you.
