HOTEL PALAZZO STERN, Venice – A Smart Stay in the City
About the Hotel
Historic Moorish Palazzo
Hotel Palazzo Stern is a 15th-century Moorish palazzo in Dorsoduro, Venice's university district. Once home to a famous art collector, it features works of art, sculptures, and mosaics from different eras. The building was expanded in the early 20th century using reclaimed materials, creating a unique blend of history and craftsmanship.
Grand Canal Views
Rooms range from Superior to Junior Suites, with sizes from 16 to 45 square meters. Many face the Grand Canal, while others overlook Rio del Malpaga or the garden. Amenities include queen-sized beds, whirlpool bathtubs, Murano glass chandeliers, and silk wallpaper. Some rooms have private terraces, 600-year-old fireplaces, or skylights.
Venetian Dining Experience
Breakfast includes options like eggs with bacon, omelets, fresh fruit, and granola. The restaurant offers seasonal Venetian dishes, with a 70-euro tasting menu available. Guests can dine on the terrace overlooking the Grand Canal or indoors during bad weather. The minibar is stocked with limited selections, but additional drinks are available upon request.
Roof Terrace & Jacuzzi
The hotel has a rooftop terrace with a whirlpool tub and views of the Dolomites. 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 terrace faces the Grand Canal and spans 90 square meters.
Central Yet Quiet
