A historic masterpiece has been reborn as a beacon of design and cultural heritage, the Venice Venice Hotel, housed within the ancient Ca’ da Mosto palace, stands as the center of an avant-garde hospitality project that intertwines Venice’s storied past with contemporary innovation. The visionaries behind this unique endeavor, Alessandro and Francesca Gallo, have crafted what they call “Postvenetian” design—a revival of traditional Venetian arts and craftsmanship reimagined for the modern era. At Venice Venice Hotel, every detail, from the architecture to the interior design, tells a story of art, history, and innovation.

The Postvenetian Aesthetic: Where Tradition Meets Modernity

Venice Venice embraces a style that bridges the gap between the city’s historic legacy and a forward-thinking vision. This design philosophy permeates every inch of the hotel, transforming elements of Venetian tradition into new, eclectic forms. The hotel’s interiors reflect this “Postvenetian” style by combining materials and techniques that harken back to Venice’s golden age with contemporary twists.

One of the most striking features of the hotel is its careful use of materials. From the marbled walls to floors adorned with rough, untreated brass, there’s an intentional contrast of textures. The delicate, silky veining of “Cipollino” marble, used in select areas, plays off rough, industrial surfaces like cement and cocoa fiber floors, creating a tactile journey for guests. This play of contrasts is not only a feast for the eyes but also evokes an experience that transcends time—a harmonious blend of old-world craftsmanship and modern design.

Rooms as Works of Art

Each of the hotel’s forty rooms is an artistic experience, carefully designed with a unique personality. The spaces challenge classical spatial norms by offering unexpected configurations, including two-level suites with sweeping views of Venice’s iconic lagoon. From the smallest room, which exceeds the average size of a traditional hotel, to the largest suite ever created in the city, the hotel redefines the meaning of luxury with its attention to detail.

The Venice Venice Hotel houses an impressive collection of art, much of which is site-specific and curated to interact with the architectural environment. Works by historical and contemporary artists, including Lucio Fontana, Jannis Kounellis, and Cy Twombly, are displayed throughout the hotel, creating a continuous dialogue between art and space. The artistic journey does not end in the public spaces; every room feels like an extension of this grand exhibition, each one narrating its own artistic story.

Art Meets Hospitality

Beyond the bespoke design, Venice Venice Hotel offers an immersive hospitality experience. Upon entering the hotel through its dramatic water portal, guests are immediately enveloped in an environment that is both grand and intimate. There’s no traditional check-in process; instead, guests are welcomed as if arriving at an aristocratic residence. The team, known as “Dream Builders,” is devoted to making each guest’s stay effortless and extraordinary.

A standout feature of Venice Venice is its engagement with contemporary artists. Throughout the hotel, guests are invited to participate in unique artistic projects. One such initiative, by photographer Renato D’Agostin, allows guests to capture their own memories of Venice through photography. These images are later developed and added to the hotel’s growing visual archive—a deeply personal memento of their stay.

A Culinary and Artistic Epicenter

When guests look out from their rooms to the Grand Canal, the city itself becomes part of the experience. At Venice M’Art, an emporium located on the ground floor, guests can enjoy a multifunctional space that seamlessly transitions throughout the day—from a shopping destination to a coffee and later into a bar. Here, the ritual of morning moka coffee transforms into an evening of aperitifs and Venetian delights.
