Hotel Overview

The 4 star Hotel Foscari Palace in Venice is one of the city’s few designer boutique hotels thanks to its meticulous restoration in keeping with the building’s 16th century origin as the residence of the Duke Gonzaga. With a modest 23 rooms, each guest gets personal attention and with city centre 4 star standards, there’s very little more one could ask for in terms of the ideal Venice luxury accommodation.

Located on the Grand Canal, this exclusive accommodation is the ideal lodging for an all-out luxury weekend break in the fabulous floating city. The canal, aside from being the epitome of a romantic backdrop, provides the transport spine of the entire city with waterbuses and taxis available just moments from the hotel entrance to just about every other part of the main island. The hotel rooms are split into three categories - standard, superior and deluxe - while three luxury suites are also available for those who really want to push the gondola out. Wireless internet is available throughout the property free of charge, proving that while the aesthetics hark back to the 16th century, Foscari still provides a modern city centre luxury accommodation package in every sense. Deluxe rooms have views of the Grand Canal and hydro-massage showers in the marble bathrooms.

There’s a cocktail bar on site and the local area is considered one of the places to be for Venice’s nightlife. The trendy artistic quarter, Cannaregio is nicknamed the gateway to Venice and the whole area flanks the grand thoroughfare known as the Lista di Spagna. At the end of the Lista di Spagna and a short walk from the Hotel Foscari Palace is the Ponte Rialto - one of Venice’s most famous and eye-catching sights.
