How to compete with Aman hotels Many hospitality professionals must be wondering about it! Each new opening means we will be amazed, dream, and have only one desire: to try it! And this is, of course, the case of the’Grand Canal of Venice. If you've never been to Venice before, choosing this hotel will seem like the absolutely ideal way to soak up the magic of this unique city. Just imagine: you're staying in a true «palazzo,» the Palazzo Papadopoli. Built in 1550, this quintessentially Venetian palace has been meticulously restored and represents an absolutely perfect setting for an Aman hotel.
What can we say about the rooms, other than that they combine the refinement of elegant and discreet furnishings with the absolute luxury of a richly decorated palace. Among the different levels of rooms, you will inevitably choose those with a view of the Grand Canal! For even more magic and to feel unique, you will prefer one of the five suites, each with its own architectural specificities: the Canal Grande Suite is our preference, for a sublime view, but they are all absolutely perfect.
Even though Venice will likely leave you with little time for relaxation, given how rich the city is, treat yourself to a few precious minutes of rest in the garden of the Aman Canal Grande Venice: this small haven of nature is a rare gem that should be appreciated. The hotel also has a rooftop terrace: slip out of your room before sunrise and admire the Serenissima from this privileged spot. And because Aman hotels truly have it all, you'll love the Italian cuisine served in the Red Dining Room and the Yellow Dining Room.
In a nutshell
- We especially love the palace gardens.
- Choose a room with a view of the Grand Canal.
- Admire Venice in the early morning from the hotel terrace.
Dine: Ristorante Ai Do Farai
This is the address you're looking for if you want to enjoy traditional dishes and escape the tourist crowds. A meeting place for gondoliers and many Venetians, the Ai Do Farai restaurant welcomes you in a friendly atmosphere and an unpretentious setting. Far from the restaurants around St. Mark's Square, you'll love to truly immerse yourself in the daily lives of the locals.
With the kids
Your hotel can arrange anything for you: a gondola ride, but also a private tour of the Doge's Palace, breakfast on a boat in the early morning, etc.
Children will also love being able to ask for pretty much anything they want at mealtimes.
