Palazzo Barbarigo Review

It is not unusual to find an opulent hotel along the Grand Canal; it is unusual to discover black marble, matte lacquer, indirect lighting, and 1940s design ensconced in a 16th-century Venetian palace. Massive mirrors soar from floor to ceiling to create a feeling of spaciousness. Each room, whether suite or standard, feels like a refuge; a long, ultrachic bar runs the length of the piano nobile (principal floor) to a balcony above the canal, just large enough for a table and two chairs.

    Loved every minute of our stay

    We stayed here after our cruise vacation in the Mediterranean. The hotel is absolutely OUTSTANDING. We fell in love with it the minute we walked in. The arrival by water taxi was out of this world. We fell like royalty as we had a hotel employee waiting for us right on the steps that lead to the canal. Every single person that works here was AMAZING!!!! The service is out of this World!!!!!
    The room was huge, sexy, comfortable, the best bed ever (It was so hard to leave in the morning :)).
    The only drawback is the walking entrance. You have to go through a little walkway that at first we fell a bit weird about, but once we got used to it, we were ok with it.
    We loved this place so much we had recommended it to all of our friends. Next time we got to Venice we will definitely stay here!
