Hotel Palazzo Stern

I had some trepidation about staying at Hotel Palazzo Stern because I thought from the photos online that the rooms looked a bit "long in the tooth" and not very modern. Having stayed, I am thrilled we booked this hotel. It is WONDERFUL. The rooms are traditional, but it matches the vibe of the grand canal. Sitting on the terrace of the restaurant having coffee in the morning or wine in the evening and watching the boats go by is magical. The hotel is in a great location to easily walk to many of the main sights as well as next to a vaporetto (public water taxi) stop. We hope to one day return.

Beautiful hotel in great location for major sights. The water taxi from airport stops right outside. Beautiful decor in Venetian style. Room was large and bathroom lovely. Breakfast was great, we had continental, lots of fresh bread, fruit and yoghurt, but cooked available too. Very clean. Staff were very friendly and helpful from front desk, porters, hosekeeping and breakfast staff. The location is great for bars, restaurants, bridges to cross to other side. I could not recommend this hotel enough. We will definitely be back. 5 plus stars.........

The hotel in in a fantastic location next to the grand canal, short walk to two squares filled with places to eat and drink.
The room was very clean, comfortable.
The staff were very helpfully and knowledgeable.
We Really enjoyed breakfast over looking the canal.

The hotel itself is gorgeous, inside and out. And the water taxi stop is right outside, which is super convenient for getting around Venice (although at €10 a ride, not cheap!). It's also a lovely, quiet area to stay in. The rooms are not modern, but spacious, and the housekeeping is immaculate. The bathrooms are large, but be careful as the bathtub-shower is very difficult to get in and out off, as the mosaic tub is about 2.5 feet high on the side. Also the water pressure in the shower head is inadequate for anything but the most cursory rinse. The dining room staff are gentle and kind, which makes having a meal there a very enjoyable experience, service-wise if not culinary-wise. That being said, the staff at desk, though solicitous, is not on their A game. Leave yourself ample time to arrange any service, including checking out, and do it way in advance.

Tolle Lage, nettes Personal

The four of us (my wife and I, and our children aged 10 and 8) had a fantastic 4-night stay at the Palazzo Stern.

The building is spectacular: a 15th-century palazzo that has been remodeled but preserves a lot of elegant Venetian charm. such as marble floors in the common areas, Murano glass chandeliers. and intricately carved woodwork (note the lion newel post on the stairway). The rooms themselves were large, airy and bright, with high ceilings and luxurious decor---again in Venetian style, but not "old" seeming. My wife and I stayed in a Junior Suite at the front of the building, while our children shared a room at the back that overlooked the side canal and a garden (belonging to another palazzo). All of the spaces in the hotel felt large, but the overall feel was of a pleasantly small establishment.

As far as location goes, the terrace and several of the rooms overlook the Grand Canal, which is incredible to experience---and our room was surprisingly quiet (very little noise from boat traffic) with the windows closed. The Ca' Rezzonico vaporetto/Alilaguna stop is only about 50 feet from the hotel, so you can very quickly be on your way around the city.

The staff were friendly and helpful, and the complimentary pick-up service from Piazzale Roma in the hotel's own water taxi was a particular treat!

Fantastic location, absolutely beautiful to have breakfast on the grand canal terrace

We opted for the continental breakfast. There was a wide variety all served on a stunning terrace overlooking the Grand Canal.

Excellent hotel, with spectacular views of the Grand canal. Having breakfast on the veranda overlooking the canal was beautiful.

Everything except the coffee machine!

Such a beautiful and calming hotel. Immaculately clean, efficient and thoughtful. The staff are friendly and nothing is too much trouble. From the moment you arrive, you can just relax and enjoy Venice. Perfect!

The perfect place to enjoy venice. It was our first time. Hotel is beautiful, relaxing, very clean hotel/rooms. welcoming staff was incredible, very helpful. The hotel is located in a perfect location to be able to navigate Venice!

Toll serviert auf der Terrasse mit Blick auf den Vandale Grande ! Extrem ruhig ! Wow sehr schön!

Everything!

First class accommodations and location on the Grand Canal. Beautiful room and atmosphere.

My wife and I have just returned from 4 nights at this wonderful hotel. We were apprehensive before we went because my wife is in a wheel chair following a stroke last year. We needn’t have worried, despite steps into the hotel and in parts of the ground floor the staff were very helpful in helping us in and out and even put ramps down in some areas.
We were also grateful to receive an upgrade to a junior suite which was very spacious and had amazing views of the grand canal.
In addition we were given a number of maps showing accessible areas of Venice; really helpful.
The hotel itself is an amazing building dating back to the 15th century. The location is right on the grand canal next to a waterbus stop making it easy to travel around. It also allowed for an easy journey from and back to the airport.
Overall we had a fantastic break in Venice and look forward to returning in the future.
We would heartily recommend palazzo stern to anyone.
