Ca' di Dio

Small Luxury Ca' di Dio is a five-star hotel in the heart of Venice, situated on the Grand Canal — an elegant Venetian retreat that captures the very spirit of the city. Set within a palace hideaway at the entrance to the Arsenale district, where the famous Art Biennale is held, Ca' di Dio blends history with luxurious modernity. Parts of the building date back to 1272, while its latest incarnation offers a flawless 21st‑century update that reflects the surroundings in every detail.

Every bedroom and suite showcases Italian design, from jewel‑bright Murano glass lamps to fine locally made fabrics and marble‑clad bathrooms. Some rooms overlook mimosa and magnolia trees in two peaceful courtyards; others face the lagoon and its fleets of passing gondolas. The Altana Suite features a private terrace with a 360‑degree iconic view of San Giorgio and the lagoon. The charming outdoor VERO Restaurant, with lagoon views, offers dishes inspired by the sea, while the internal courtyard of Essentia Restaurant provides another al fresco dining option in summer. Local ingredients infuse the classic cocktails served at Alchemia Bar.

Beyond the hotel’s peaceful walls, one of the world’s most iconic cities awaits. The concierge guides guests to uncover the real cultural, historical, and artistic secrets of Venice — through narrow alleyways, breathtaking squares, or by gondola hailed directly from the hotel.
