Hotel Palazzo Stern

My husband and I stayed here for 5 nights on our honeymoon in March and we absolutely loved it. We stayed in a superior room with a canal view, which I highly recommend. The view was breathtaking, the service was wonderful, and the room (and bathroom) was huge. The room temperature was always perfect, somehow. The complimentary buffet breakfast was impressive. There were quite a few options. The wait staff was attentive, took drink orders, and continued to replenish the food even shortly before closing. When we checked in, the concierge gave us a map and spent time showing us where we were and how to get around. The hotel's location is prime; it's situated right at the Ca' Rezzonico water stop and is very close to the Ponte dell'Accademia (the bridge you take to get to San Marco Square). The Peggy Guggenheim Collection is also a short walk away. However, keep in mind that Venice really is a walkable city (I didn't really get it until I spent 5 days there). If you book this hotel you won't regret it. I can't wait to stay here again the next time I visit Venice.

Beautiful hotel, ideally placed for views of life on the water, boat access and walking around Venice.

A fabulous hotel in a great location. Character, charm and history. Very convenient for travel both to the airport and around Venice. In an authentic Venetian neighbourhood with Interrsting shops and loads of places to eat. Would highly recommend.

We loved our stay - it's a beautiful hotel in a fun area. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was lovely. Our only surprise/disappointment was that I had booked it because it advertises hot tub/roof terrace and my twelve year old was really looking forward to that - and it does look beautiful but there was a card saying it was 70 Euro/hour to enjoy which we could not afford ... it would have been very helpful to say that on the website. We could have budgeted for it or I could have chosen differently. All in all though - except for a sad child - it was nice.

An amazing hotel retaining so many palace features and worth the extra for a Grand Canal view (there are bargains to be had at off peak times of year) In a great position, too, right at a vaporetti stop and near the Accademia bridge. We'd definitely stay again - just need to save up!
