Aman Venice

Luxury Holidays At Aman Venice

Guests usually arrive at this grand hotel, a former palazzo dating back to 1550, by boat, docking just a short walk away from the reception where towering ceilings and historic frescos await. From here, a sweeping staircase leads to a lounge in the ballroom where there is a balcony, a bar with a wonderful fireplace and the salon that offers another lounge area complete with grand piano − all have stunning canal views. If you’d prefer to be outdoors, head to the small roof terrace, where on a clear day, views of the Alps can be seen. Or, the Canal Garden, which is one of very few private gardens on the canal, is perfect for a drink or even dining al fresco if the weather is good. Lined with ‘Cuir de Cordoue’, embossed gold leather from the 16th century and original walnut bookcases, the library is a delight to see, but for a game of chess, backgammon or cards, visit the Stanza del Tiepolo, the hotel’s games room. Meanwhile, guest rooms are individually decorated with many featuring period details including protected frescos and reliefs that reflect past periods of Venetian art and architecture.

Guests can take purchase a piece of traditional murano glassware from the hotel's boutique that sells pieces designed by the owner of the property.

Romance

Synonymous with romance, Venice lures lovers through the seasons. They come for the architecture, the art, the gondolas, the opera, the restaurants and the shops, for losing themselves in secret backwaters while soaking up the atmosphere of this very special place. Aman boasts a prime spot on the Grand Canal, Venice's most famous waterway - the setting alone will seduce you. Watch Venice wake up or fall asleep, navigating along the canals in an Aman boat, the sun's first and final rays shimmering on the waters, or retreat to the rooftop terrace for a glimpse of Venice few people see - a tucked away spot ideal for lingering with your loved one.

Spa Breaks

The hotel’s spa is located on the third floor and there is lift access, as well as the stairs. The low ceiling and dim lighting create a tranquil setting for the three single treatment rooms that each have a dressing area and bathroom - one of which has a bath. There is also a small gym on the fourth floor where you can work out on the aerobic and strength-conditioning equipment, or in the area designated for free weights, whilst looking at views over the city’s rooftops.

More than two-hundred churches dot 118 islands, with St. Mark's Basilica the star attraction.

Opera-lovers, meanwhile, can enjoy the evocative music of Rossini, Puccini and Verdi from a private Aman box.
