Rooms & Suites

Il Palazzo Experimental offers 32 rooms and suites with views of Canal della Giudecca or the private garden. Giudecca rooms include a private balcony, king-size bed, and bathroom with soaking tub. The Dorsoduro Suite on the top floor provides 45 sqm of space with a separate living room. All rooms feature soundproofing, high-speed Wi-Fi, smart TVs, and black marble-trimmed bathrooms with hand-glazed tiles.

Dining & Cocktails

Ristorante Adriatica serves seasonal Italian dishes from Adriatic coastal regions, with an in-house wine bar focusing on regional producers. The Experimental Cocktail Club, designed by Cristina Celestino, operates as a retro-modern Venetian speakeasy. Breakfast is served daily from 7:30 AM to 11:00 AM in the garden or dining room. The restaurant also hosts the Italian Supper Club for special dining events.

Garden & Location

The hotel features a large garden facing a narrow canal, providing outdoor seating and regular art exhibitions. Located in Venice's Dorsoduro district, it's a 15-minute walk from Santa Lucia railway station and 5 minutes from St. Basilico Cruise Terminal. Nearby vaporetto stops at Zattere and St. Basilio connect to Venice Marco Polo Airport. The area features art galleries, local bacari, and residential canals.

Activities & Experiences

Guests can book guided bacaro tours of traditional Venetian wine bars, personalized city tours with local guides, and visits to Rialto Market. The hotel provides private transfer services to St. Mark's Square and mainland villas. The traditional Venetian roof terrace (altana) offers sunset views and aperitivo service. Art exhibitions are regularly hosted in the garden space.

Events & Services

The hotel accommodates private events in the garden, pontoon, or restaurant spaces. Ristorante Adriatica seats 45-75 guests, while the garden hosts 60-120 people. Corporate events can utilize nearby meeting rooms located 10 minutes from the property. Services include concierge assistance, private transportation arrangements, and gift vouchers for hotel experiences.

“This is a striking property in Dorsoduro, where art and garden tranquility meet. I was particularly drawn to the innovative, locally-sourced Venetian cuisine. Its location is also a major plus, near some key cultural sites.”
