Il Palazzo Experimental

French designer Dorothée Meilichzon transformed the Il Palazzo Experimental into a seaside haven, introducing an Art Deco sophistication while maintaining the exposed beams and Gothic windows of the original palace. Ascend to the signature city-view cocktail bar to watch vaporettos buzz up and down the Giudecca Canal and perhaps savour a cicchetti or two with an aperitivo, summon a gondola to the palazzo’s private pier or sequester yourself in the hotel’s breathtaking garden, where you’ll have a front-row seat to all the locals’ comings and goings. Delve into the tastes of southern Italy with an evening in Ristorante Adriatica or settle in for cocktails at the Experimental Cocktail Club, where expert bartenders will shake or stir anything you fancy.
