About this hotel
General information
This palazzo on a canal a few steps from Piazza San Marco dates back to 1118. It once housed a monastery and sheltered the Knights Templar, and later belonged to noble Venetian families. Its 18th-century interiors keep antique furniture, Murano glass chandeliers and an art collection that includes frescoes by pupils of Tiepolo.
Rooms look out over the lagoon and the city, and the gastronomic restaurant has won notable awards. For events there are three rooms — Arazzo for 30, Murano for 60 and the historic 200 m² Marco Polo hall with 18th-century frescoes — plus open-air terraces over the lagoon for up to 60 people. Weddings and honeymoon programmes are arranged, and guests have a private landing stage, limousine service, a concierge, business services, laundry and free Wi-Fi.
Location
The hotel is in the centre of Venice, 80 m from Piazza San Marco. Santa Lucia station is 2 km away, and Marco Polo international airport 7 km, about 30 minutes by boat.

Restaurants & bars
Every venue carries the Canova name, from a gastronomic dinner to an espresso at the bar, and room service is available.

- Canova Bistrot — relaxed Italian classics built on local produce, good for a light meal
- Canova Bar — espresso and aperitifs at a long polished-brass counter, with armchairs upholstered in Rubelli fabrics
