Home Destinations Liassidi Palace Hotel
Liassidi Palace Hotel is a four-star boutique hotel occupying a restored Gothic palazzo in the historic centre of Venice. Positioned in a peaceful corner of Castello close to San Marco, the property combines the atmosphere of a former Venetian residence with contemporary comforts and a particularly intimate sense of place.
The main building contains 26 individually styled rooms distributed across five floors, while additional rooms, suites and apartments are available in nearby annex accommodation. Canal, courtyard, garden and traditional Venetian street views vary by category, with the most distinctive suites overlooking the Canale dei Greci and surrounding historic cityscape.
The hotel overlooks the Rio di San Lorenzo, also known as the Canale dei Greci, close to Ponte dei Greci and only a short walk from Riva degli Schiavoni. The location combines easy access to Venice’s principal monuments with a noticeably quieter atmosphere than the busiest streets immediately around Piazza San Marco.
Interiors blend contemporary furnishings with references to eighteenth-century Venice. High ceilings, exposed timber beams, Murano glass chandeliers, parquet or traditional Venetian flooring and Gothic-style windows are complemented by reproductions of works by artists including Klimt, Modigliani, Monet and Picasso.
Current accommodation begins with Classic Rooms of approximately 15–18 square metres and 20-square-metre Deluxe Rooms. Junior Suites measure around 30 square metres and are available in conventional, split-level and canal-view configurations, many with whirlpool baths and generous living space.
Higher categories include the approximately 55-square-metre King Romantic Suite with canal view and private Finnish sauna, together with 70–80-square-metre Exclusive Suites overlooking the Canale dei Greci. Additional Ai Greci accommodation in nearby buildings includes a 22-square-metre Classic Room, a Wellness Privacy Suite and a 90-square-metre apartment with kitchen, sauna, steam bath and whirlpool tub.
A buffet breakfast of sweet and savoury specialities is served each morning in two elegant ground-floor dining rooms overlooking the San Lorenzo canal. The historic surroundings and waterside views provide an atmospheric start to the day before exploring Venice on foot.
The Liassidi Bar serves Venetian spritzes, cocktails and international drinks in a refined but informal setting. Live background music by local artists is featured on selected occasions, while the surrounding Castello and San Marco districts provide an extensive choice of restaurants and traditional bacari within walking distance.
The hotel’s peaceful internal courtyard provides an attractive outdoor space away from Venice’s busier pedestrian routes. A grand upper-floor salon and additional lounge areas retain the atmosphere of the historic residence, while two quieter spaces and a conference hall can accommodate small meetings and private gatherings.
A 24-hour concierge can assist with restaurant reservations, museum visits, events and gondola arrangements. The main building is served by a lift and includes accessibility features, while its direct water entrance allows guests arriving by private water taxi to reach the palazzo directly from the canal.
Liassidi Palace occupies the 15th-century Palazzo Zorzi dalle Colonne Storte, a restored Gothic residence whose architecture remains central to the hotel’s identity. The palazzo opens directly onto the canal and preserves important decorative features including exposed structural timber, Murano chandeliers and a distinctive six-light Gothic window overlooking the water.
The restoration combines these historic elements with contemporary and eighteenth-century-inspired furnishings rather than recreating a purely period interior. The result reflects Venice’s layered architectural character, allowing guests to stay within a genuine historic palazzo while enjoying the comforts of a modern boutique hotel.
Liassidi Palace Hotel is located at Castello 3405, Ponte dei Greci, Venice, on the border between the Castello and San Marco districts. Riva degli Schiavoni is approximately two minutes away on foot, placing the San Marco Basin and its celebrated waterfront views close at hand.
St Mark’s Square, St Mark’s Basilica and the Doge’s Palace are within easy walking distance, while the Arsenale and venues associated with the Venice Biennale lie farther east through Castello. The location therefore works particularly well for travellers who want to explore Venice on foot while returning to a quieter residential part of the historic centre.
