In the enchanted heart of Venice, in Campo Santa Maria Formosa, among the canals and campi, stands a period jewel that embodies luxury and refinement: the Ruzzini Palace Hotel. Immersed in the thousand-year history of the lagoon city, this prestigious hotel is much more than a luxury establishment; it is a journey through time through the elegant eras that have shaped Venice.

The Ruzzini Palace History

The Ruzzini Palace boasts a history steeped in charm and nobility. Dating back to the 16th century, this palace was initially the home of one of Venice's most influential patrician families, the Ruzzini. The Ruzzini family, with its deep roots in Venetian history and politics, contributed to the glory and greatness of the Serenissima Republic of Venice.

Over the centuries, the palazzo has undergone many transformations, bearing witness to the passage of time and the evolution of the city. From its origin as an aristocratic residence, it has passed through eras of change, until it became a sublime example of Venetian Renaissance architecture.

THE TRANSFORMATION INTO A LUXURY HOTEL

The ancient splendour of the palace has been masterfully preserved during its transformation into a luxury hotel. Every corner of the Ruzzini Palace Hotel tells a story, transporting guests into an atmosphere of timeless elegance.

The architects and interior designers worked carefully to preserve the original elements of the palace, such as the frescoes, wood-beamed ceilings and Venetian floors, while adding modern touches to ensure maximum comfort and luxury for guests.

The rooms and suites, embellished with period furniture and fine fabrics, offer a haven of tranquillity and refinement, where every detail is meticulously cared for to ensure an unforgettable stay.

THE LUXURY EXPERIENCE IN VENICE: arrival by water

The Ruzzini Palace Hotel is not only an ancient Doge's residence, but an unparalleled experience in the heart of Venice. Located along one of the city's most picturesque canals, the Rio del Paradiso, and overlooking the picturesque Campo Santa Maria Formosa, the hotel offers breathtaking views that embrace the authentic soul of Venice. 

What makes this experience truly unique is the arrival at the hotel: visitors can opt to arrive directly by gondola or water taxi to the hotel's magnificent lobby. This touch of Venetian elegance is just the prelude to a stay of luxury and sophistication.
