Not everyone is aware that Venice, the city of water par excellence, a few centuries ago was the place of enchanting gardens. NH Collection Grand Hotel Palazzo dei Dogi – which is located in the 17th Century “Palazzo Rizzo-Patarol”, an elegant palace which was in the past a monastery and more recently the Embassy of France and Savoy - still boasts of this extreme beauty. Today, the hotel’s expansive garden still amazes Guests with its scenery: once it was considered to be “one of the Venetian Singularities to be referred to by foreigners” and it was so renowned for its beauty that the Austrian Emperor Francesco I visited it in 1815. The classic décor of the Venetian-style bedrooms together with a breathtaking view across the waterways offers a welcoming authentic Venetian retreat. The hotel is located a few steps away from local artisanal shops and main famed sights of the city and thanks to the exclusive access to its private pier with views across Murano island - Guests can enjoy easy connection to St. Mark Square and other main city's attractions. Il Giardino Segreto Restaurant and La Voga Bar complete the Venetian experience, ensuring a symphony of exclusive tastes.
