What reviewers say

Visitors frequently praise the hotel's excellent Grand Canal location, with easy access to vaporetto stops and beautiful views, as well as the friendly and helpful staff. However, some guests found the showers difficult to use due to high-sided bathtubs and slippery surfaces, while others were disappointed with the continental breakfast or did not receive the room they booked.

About this place Hotel Palazzo Stern

Hotel Palazzo Stern occupies a 15th-century Gothic palazzo directly on the Grand Canal in Dorsoduro — one of Venice's most beautiful positions, combining the grandeur of a canal-facing building with proximity to the Campo Santa Margherita neighbourhood. The hotel has 24 individually designed rooms and suites, each reflecting the building's architectural period through exposed beams, antique furniture and Murano glass. The rooftop terrace is extraordinary: an outdoor space above Venice's roofline with unobstructed views of the Grand Canal in both directions. The hotel is consistently cited on LGBTQ+ travel platforms for the warmth of its welcome to same-sex couples. It is not a gay hotel — it is a family-run boutique property — but its LGBTQ+-welcoming reputation is well-established. Water taxi service from Marco Polo airport arrives directly at the hotel's canal entrance. Price range is upper (4-star plus).
