Eight Venezia
In Venice, a dream has taken shape.
Housed within a majestic 15th-century palazzo originally built by the noble Donà family, Eight Venezia is a veritable treasure trove of history, art, and timeless allure. Boasting elegant Renaissance facades—one opening onto a peaceful Venetian campo and the other directly over a picturesque canal—the Palazzo served for centuries as a prestigious residence for aristocrats and merchants, as well as the backdrop to historic events, such as the official birth of the state lottery in 1734.
Inside, Neoclassical and 19th-century frescoes blend masterfully with refined Art Nouveau accents, creating an enchanting, timeless ambiance. The hotel is effortlessly accessible via private water taxi, located a mere twenty minutes from both the airport and the train station. Upon arrival, guests are treated to a sweeping panorama of historic palazzi reflecting on the water, culminating at our majestic private water gate, which has welcomed distinguished guests into the palazzo for centuries.
