Built in the 16th century, the Palazzo’s unique design features have been adapted to the needs of travellers seeking luxury and calm, as well as a bit of the high drama that Venice specializes in. Pulling up in a motorboat or gondola, for instance, is no problem: the hotel has its own private landing stage.
All the art deco inspired rooms in this hotel - one of five Hotelphilosophy members represented by Design Hotels ™ - feature unique layouts, as necessitated by quirks in the ancient building’s structure. The deluxe junior suites look out on the Canal, providing an unforgettable first view of the day, while the classic and luxury rooms have a side view on Rio San Polo. On the first floor the bar is done up in Art Deco style to celebrate Venice’s Golden Twenties, and faces the Canal. After an easy day at La Fenice, Palazzo Grassi and the Guggenheim, all within a stone’s throw, the Palazzo offers a gorgeous, sophisticated, yet simple welcome home.
The interior design is most strongly inspired by art-deco, born from well refined and stunning silhouettes, deep consideration, distorted images, re-evoking of memories impressed on the mind: a pure style that lives space to interpretation and which does not suffocate the senses and encourages extraordinary thoughts.
Today’s most contemporary architectural conventions in the interaction of volume and space were not only the inspiration for the development of this new hotel space but were also integral to the development of its design. Palazzo Barbarigo, with only 18 rooms, situated directly on the Gran Canal, supersedes the traditional concept of the glamorous hotel and instead offers itself as a modern-day visual art gallery.
With an urban edge and glamour borrowed straight from the past, this new edifice is fully up to speed with the very latest trends in the hotel industry. Design, glamour and unrivalled natural location are the elements that blend perfectly creating a flawless balance in the whole.

Classic Rooms can not surely be defined standard spaces. They are instead refined and sophisticated interiors far from any austerity. Observing the particular corners and objects means realizing how the scenical set is focused on a balanced search of materials, shapes, colors, so full of the Venice vibrating atmospheres. It is like being inside a movie of the 40' where the scenography seems to be absolutely perfect
Luxury room is characterized by ironic details, sometimes a bit frivolous but always unusual. Feathers, fringes and plumes for remembering that in Venice, where since always many different styles coexist and merge, nothing appears out of place. Each space gives place to multiple interpretations that carry, in a single instant, inside a sweet whirl of satisfying sensations.
The concept of this beautiful suite takes its inspiration from that branch of the Art Decò that used to amalgamate decorative components and neoclassical elements. On this set the guests move in absolute freedom through a trip made of pure glamour and luxury. Palazzo Barbarigo, impressive and historical structure on the Venetian Grand Canal, is the creature of an "enlightened visionary".
