Palazzo Venart<\/em><\/a><\/span>, one of the most outstanding luxury hotels in Venice, has an extremely eventful history, which certainly determines the charm of this particular establishment. As Palazzo Bacchini delle Palme<\/em>, the original name of the magnificent building, it served since the 15th century \u2013 first as the estate of the prestigious Venetian noble families Lion and Vernier and later as the residence of the famous mercenary captain Pandolfo Malatesta and the Count of Carmagnola. The original fa\u00e7ade of the palazzo, which faced the Canal Grande, embodied the three-part architecture typical of 15th century Venice \u2013 with elegant arched windows, white marble and balustrades of Istrian stone. Over the centuries, the building has always been one of the most exclusive and spectacular in the city, so much that in 1819 it was even mentioned in the prestigious guidebook Forestiero Istruito nelle cose pi\u00f9 pregevoli e curiose antiche e moderne della citt\u00e0 di Venezia<\/em>. As the center of social and cultural life in Venice, the palace was also always frequented by illustrious aristocratic elites.<\/p>\n

In 1845, however, the palazzo fell victim to a devastating fire, which is why, among other things, the fa\u00e7ade facing the Canal Grande was demolished and the area transformed into a \u00bbgarden on the waterfront\u00ab. Today, arriving guests are still guided by a water cab to the entrance via this lovingly tended garden, which is adorned with historical statues. The successive reconstruction of the rest of the building and the extensive restoration work subsequently took many decades \u2013 the tempera paintings on the walls and ceilings of the corridor, which can still be admired today, date from the very period when the building was completely restored. In the style of Michelangelo Mortalier’s frescoes in Palazzo Grassi<\/em>, it shows convivial scenes from Venetian society of the time, testifying to the liveliness of palace life.<\/p>\n

However, it took until well into the 21st century for Palazzo Venart<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 now acquired by Taiwanese hotel group LDC Hotels Italy<\/a><\/span> and renamed to\u00a0Palazzo Venart \u2013 Luxury Hotel <\/em> with its official opening in 2016 \u2013 to undergo a comprehensive and detailed complete restoration, with the preservation of the building’s historical integrity as a top priority. Besides the magnificent ceiling and wall decorations, frescoes, marble staircases and the Istrian stone building were finally restored to their former glory. Aspects of Venetian history and culture can also be found in many details of the total of 18 rooms and suites, most of which still reveal their original state. In addition to hand-picked antiques that underscore the palazzo’s noble past, there is no shortage of modern amenities \u2013 and in particular, the hotel’s own two-Michelin-starred, internationally renowned restaurant GLAM<\/em><\/a>, under the direction of Michelin-starred chef Enrico Bartolini and executive chef Donato Ascani, adds another outstanding signature touch.
