Palazzina Grassi - A Philippe Starck-designed boutique hotel with Grand Canal views and show kitchen dining
Located in Venice's San Marco district, this Philippe Starck-designed Venice hotel features 25 rooms, including 5 suites with Grand Canal views. The 5-star Palazzina Grassi offers rooms and suites with high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and terraces overlooking Venetian rooftops. The Restaurant serves contemporary and traditional Italian cuisine in a show kitchen setting where guests interact with chefs. The property includes a Krug Champagne Lounge, an outdoor terrace for dining amid plants, and The Lounge in a 16th-century wing. During major events like the Venice Film Festival and Carnival, Palazzina The Club hosts international DJs and the jet set crowd. The hotel sits behind Palazzo Grassi, a short walk from Campo San Samuele and Sant'Angelo vaporetto stops. Palazzina Grassi stands just 1640.4 ft from Teatro la Fenice and 0.5 miles from the Rialto Bridge.
