Original, extremely cool and a refreshing antidote to the traditional brocade that typifies many of the city’s hotelVenice Venice is a perfect blend of tradition and innovation. Housed in a 13th-century Venetian-Byzantine palace, believed to be one of the oldest surviving buildings on the canal, owners Alessandro Gallo and Francesca Rinaldo have done an impeccable job at honoring the building’s history—all exposed stone walls and marble Roman columns—while infusing it with their extensive personal collection. Visitors access the property by water steps into a dimly lit room with a marble Madonna above a shallow reflecting pool at the foot of a candlelit staircase. This sense of drama sets the tone for the rest of the hotel, where more than 600 works of art compete for your attention, including pieces by Yoko Ono, Christo and Joseph Beuys.
