Historic Palace Accommodations
Hotel Donà Palace occupies a 14th-century palace overlooking Rio di Palazzo Ducale and the Bridge of Sighs. Rooms feature empire-style furniture, matching fabrics, and Italian marble bathrooms. Some include jacuzzi bathtubs with chromotherapy. Select suites offer original 16th-century coffered ceilings, Murano glass chandeliers, and views of Saint Mark's Basilica or Venetian canals. All accommodations include air conditioning, minibars, flat-screen TVs with satellite channels, and free Wi-Fi.
Venixino Lounge Bar
The hotel features Venixino Lounge & Garden, serving drinks prepared by expert bartenders. Guests can enjoy beverages in the indoor garden or at the lounge bar. The top-floor terrace provides views over Venice's rooftops, while the hidden garden offers a quiet retreat for summer evenings.
Prime San Marco Location
Located in San Marco, the hotel is a 3-minute walk from Piazza San Marco, Basilica di San Marco, and Doge's Palace. The San Marco Giardinetti vaporetto stop is nearby, providing water bus access. Marco Polo Airport is reachable via water taxi or Alilaguna boat service to St. Mark's Square.
Private Water Taxi Access
Hotel Donà Palace maintains a private dock for water taxi arrivals. The staff assists with transportation arrangements, including water taxi bookings and public vaporetto directions. The hotel can provide information about Venice's access fee requirements for visitors.
Unique Venetian Experience
The property preserves original architectural features including filigree arched windows known as 'quadrifore.' Some suites are accessible by private elevator and feature wood-beamed ceilings. The building's facade reflects traditional Venetian Gothic design, characteristic of historic palazzi along the city's canals.
“What sets this place apart is its unlikely combination of a meticulously renovated 14th-century palace and a surprisingly tranquil garden tucked away by the canal. The location is superb for exploring Venice, mere steps from St. Mark's Square, with the added benefit of private water access. A well-judged blend of history, luxury, and prime location, it feels like a genuine Venetian discovery.”
