At Palazzo Papadopoli—one of eight sizable palazzos that line Venice’s Grand Canal—Aman Venice delivers a level of luxury absolutely worthy of this historic city-state. Rococo works of art are paired with the contemporary subtleties of Jean-Michel Gathy’s interiors to create a refined ambience. Situated a short walk from the city’s central hub of Piazza San Marco, the hotel proves to be the ultimate base from which to explore the city. Those looking to fully immerse themselves in Italian heritage will adore the 1,108-sq-ft Alcova Tiepolo Suite, where guests are surrounded by 18th-century frescoes by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. Expect gilded ceilings and vast windows that gaze upon the hotel’s garden terrace and a beautifully painted sitting room with a fireplace.
