Hotel Palazzo Stern – A Favorite for Families in Venice
About the Hotel
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.
