A Renaissance Living Masterpiece

Set within the 16th-century Palazzo Papadopoli—one of only eight monumental palazzos lining Venice’s Grand Canal—Aman Venice is an extraordinary residence where museum-grade art meets peerless contemporary luxury. Conceived by architect Gian Giacomo de’ Grigi in the mid-1500s and enriched by the Papadopoli family in the 19th century, the palazzo remains the ancestral residence of the Count and Countess Arrivabene Valenti Gonzaga.

Arriving by private water taxi at the Palazzo’s water gate, guests ascend via monumental staircases to two dramatic Piano Nobile floors. Here, gilded ceilings, original terrazzo flooring, crystal chandeliers, and preserved frescoes by 18th-century master Giovanni Battista Tiepolo provide an awe-inspiring backdrop for modern living.

With only 24 guest accommodations, Aman Venice ensures an atmosphere of intimate seclusion rarely found in the floating city. Furthermore, the palazzo features two rare verdant private gardens—including the Canal Garden, which directly fronts the Grand Canal, offering a peaceful sanctuary where guests can savor morning coffee or afternoon aperitifs as gondolas glide past.
