Palazzina Grassi

A 26-room hotel in a 17th-century palazzo beside Palazzo Grassi, with a private water-taxi dock on the Grand Canal a short walk from Campo Santo Stefano and the Accademia bridge. Its mirrored, Murano-glass interiors are by Philippe Starck, and it houses a restaurant, a members-style club and a rooftop terrace.

Part of the Outbound Stays collection, Palazzina Grassi is one of the places we think is genuinely worth the journey in Italy — chosen for its character, its design and the experience of staying there.
