Aman Venice

Aman Venice sits inside the 16th-century Palazzo Papadopoli on Calle Tiepolo. It is a ten-minute walk from the Fondaco dei Tedeschi and twenty minutes from St. Mark’s Square.

The property is more of a private residence than a hotel, and that is its true distinction. While the Rialto Bridge area remains a frantic swirl of day-trippers, the palazzo turns its back on the main thoroughfares to offer a quiet, austere counterpoint. Most visitors to this part of the city are surrounded by the noise of the canals, but here the scale of the architecture absorbs it. It is a better choice for those who want to see Venice without having to participate in its density.
