Immerse yourself in the heritage and grandeur of Italy’s floating city with a stay at Venice’s stylishly sophisticated Il Palazzo Experimental, a converted Renaissance-era palace nestled on the northern edge of the Giudecca Canal. The boutique hotel balances the best of the famous canal city: hidden away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist-filled laneways and yet within easy reach of iconic attractions, including St Mark’s Basilica and Accademia Gallery. Surrounded by famously good restaurants and bars, and within easy walking distance of two vaporetto stops, it’s perfectly positioned for days spent eating and exploring.
