Historic Venetian Palazzo
Hotel Palazzo Stern is a 15th-century Moorish palazzo in Dorsoduro, Venice's university district. Once home to a famous art collector, the building features original sculptures, mosaics, and antique furnishings. Rooms face the Grand Canal, Rio del Malpaga, or the garden, with some offering private terraces or 600-year-old fireplaces. All rooms include queen-sized beds, whirlpool bathtubs, and Venetian-style décor with silk wallpaper and Murano glass chandeliers.
Dining with Canal Views
Breakfast includes eggs, bacon, fresh pastries, and granola with yogurt. The restaurant serves Venetian dishes with seasonal ingredients, offering a 70-euro set menu or à la carte options. Guests can dine on the terrace overlooking the Grand Canal or indoors during bad weather. The bar serves espresso, tea blends, and snacks, with seating on the canal-facing terrace.
Roof Terrace & Jacuzzi
The rooftop terrace has a whirlpool tub with views of the Dolomites and the northern lagoon. Complimentary use of a vintage wooden boat includes transfers to the sister hotel, Santa Chiara, and occasional tours to Murano for glassmaking demonstrations. The ground-floor garden terrace (90 square meters) faces the Grand Canal.
Steps from Key Attractions
The hotel is near the Accademia, Peggy Guggenheim Collection, and Punta della Dogana. Ca' Rezzonico waterbus stop is a 35-minute ride from Santa Lucia train station or a 20-minute private water taxi ride. Marco Polo Airport is 10 km away, accessible via Alilaguna shuttle or direct water taxi. Parking is available at Piazzale Roma or Tronchetto, with valet service from Hotel Santa Chiara.
Concierge & Special Services
Staff arrange excursions, tours, and restaurant reservations. The hotel provides Wi-Fi, air conditioning, minibars, and tea/coffee facilities. Accessible rooms have roll-in showers, and baby cribs are available on request. Valet parking and private boat transfers can be booked. Meeting space is limited but available for small events.
“Palazzo Stern stands out for its authentic Venetian charm, particularly the rare treat of a Grand Canal terrace. What struck me is the blend of historic artistry and modern comfort, enhanced by personalized touches like seasonal dining and that exclusive vintage boat service. In my view, it offers a serene, cultured escape, perfectly positioned to explore Venice without being caught in the tourist surge.”
