Aman Venice.

The Palazzo Papadopoli on the Grand Canal, reconfigured with Tiepolo ceilings and very long sight lines.

Overview

Aman's Venetian flagship, on the Grand Canal. The 16th-century palazzo has been the quiet luxury choice in the city since 2013.

Rooms

The Piano Nobile suites are the talking point. The standard rooms are still some of the prettiest in the city.

Dining

Arva — the palazzo's restaurant — is reliably good. Go to Harry's afterwards for the full experience.

Amenities

Small spa, private water entrance, a garden that nobody expects to find in Venice.

How to book

Direct or via Doorkey for preferred rates and a room upgrade when available.

What we loved

• 01The Piano Nobile has now opened. The Tiepolo ceilings are genuinely worth the stay.
• 02Discretion. You can check in via the private water entrance and never use the street.

What we'd change

• 01Breakfast service is slower than it should be.
