“Hotel Palazzo Giovanelli makes a sophisticated base in Venice, blending historical significance with modern hospitality. Once home to Doge Marco Foscarini, the building retains a distinctly Venetian aesthetic, while also ensuring contemporary comfort. I especially note its prime location on the Grand Canal, where guests can arrive by private water taxi, and its well-organized tours that highlight the best of local culture.”
