If you’re looking for a place where elegance meets simplicity, where refined taste intertwines with history, and where grandeur blends effortlessly with tranquility, then NH Collection Venezia Grand Hotel Palazzo dei Dogi is your perfect Venetian retreat.
This five-star luxury hotel, formerly known as Boscolo Venezia, is tucked away in the quiet and authentic Cannaregio district, far from the crowds of the Rialto and Piazza San Marco, yet still intimately connected to the essence of the city. It’s a destination where timeless beauty, aristocratic heritage, and modern luxury coexist in perfect harmony.
A Historic Palazzo with a Unique Garden
The hotel is housed in the 16th-century Palazzo Rizzo-Patarol, once the seat of the Embassy of France and Savoy. Located on the Fondamenta de la Madonna dell’Orto, this noble residence stands out for one particularly rare feature: a private 2,000-square-meter garden—the only one of its kind among Venice’s luxury hotels.
This garden is more than a green space; it’s a veritable sanctuary, with manicured paths, fountains, grottos, and trompe l’oeil installations that create a magical, almost surreal ambiance. Guests can relax beneath pergolas, enjoy an aperitif surrounded by flowers, or start the day with a peaceful walk just steps from the Lagoon.
A Noble Past Reimagined for Today
The Palazzo’s opulent interiors reflect its noble past: marble-clad halls, Murano glass chandeliers, 18th-century frescoes, and lavish Venetian stucco. The original architecture—arched porticos, baroque loggias, and a stately façade—preserves the grandeur of a building once home to some of Venice’s most prominent aristocrats.
Today, NH Collection has combined this heritage with the comforts of modern hospitality: discreet technology, elegant design, and personalized service at every level.
Artistic Spirit and Boutique Charm
This is more than just a luxury stay—it’s a living expression of Venetian art and culture. The hotel has long supported contemporary artists through the “For Art in Venice” initiative, displaying works by creators like Anna Maria Di Terlizzi, Angelo Bertoglio, and Rosario Bruno throughout the common areas.
The same attention to detail extends to the hotel’s 70+ rooms and suites, each uniquely decorated with brocade fabrics, hand-carved woodwork, antique furniture, and Murano chandeliers. From the rich flooring to the carefully restored finishes, every element tells a story.
Rooms with Soul—and Views
- The Junior Suites feature oriental carpets, 18th-century cabinetry, and views over either the Lagoon, the lush private garden, or the grand internal ceremonial hall.
- The Presidential Suite stands apart in a quiet wing of the garden, offering total seclusion, a private loft, and serene dawn views over the water.
- The Superior and Deluxe Rooms offer views over canals, the garden, or the hotel’s intimate calli, blending historical charm with contemporary comfort.
La Zoia Restaurant – Where Taste Becomes Art
Dining at La Zoia Restaurant is a celebration of Venetian and Italian cuisine, reimagined with finesse. As part of the Boscolo Food Experience legacy, the restaurant features an open kitchen, where guests can watch as chefs craft every dish with fresh, seasonal ingredients.
Pair your meal with a selection from the fine wine cellar, or relax afterward with a cocktail or flute of champagne at the Lounge Bar, which also serves light bites and finger foods. When weather permits, both dining and drinks can be enjoyed in the peaceful setting of the garden.
Wellness & Relaxation in True Venetian Style
The hotel’s Wellness Centre offers a tailored escape for body and soul. Whether you’re seeking a rejuvenating massage, a cleansing steam bath, or a luxurious facial treatment, the spa provides personalized programs in a serene, design-forward space.
Wellness day packages, signature rituals, and holistic paths ensure guests leave refreshed, restored, and rebalanced.
