The 74 rooms are adorned with gilt mirrors, carved stucco ceilings and elaborately patterned silk wallpapers, all in keeping with the 18th century splendour of the Palazzo. Most rooms have a balcony overlooking the canal below and all have large, luxurious Italian marble bathrooms.

Guests can enjoy an impressive view of the city while having breakfast at Settimo Cielo, literally translating as seventh floor, whilst the restaurant De Pisis offers Mediterranean specialities with an Asian twist and has an outdoor terrace on the Grand Canal. Il Palazzo has two bars: Red Bar Canale plays live music every night and the livelier B Bar is perfect for aperitifs and cocktails in the evening.

Facilities at the hotel include a fitness centre, steam room, sauna and Jacuzzi,
