A very special place in the heart of Venice: the Dei Dogi. In this luxurious but never excessive palace, once an ambassador's splendid residence, history has been wonderfully preserved among the silk and velvet tapestries and the 16th-century stuccowork, which has been perfectly restored. The ancient decorations blend with the modern comforts in the guest rooms and in the functional business center, creating an enchanting ambience where every detail reflects a joyful, bright and glorious past. In the Giardino di Luca restaurant, all the tradition of Venetian cooks is interpreted by master chefs in an impressive selection of Italian and international dishes and wines. A magnificent internal garden, which has no match in Venice, enhances the guest's senses in its exquisitely charming and evocative atmosphere.

Official Hotel Information
The enchantment of Venice has long cast a spell over writers and artists, who have created memorable images of its profusion of charms. But in all those representations, one would be hard pressed to find a luxuriant garden atmosphere like that of the Dei Dogi. That's because the Dei Dogi is the only hotel in Venice with its own historical garden: a unique, 2,000 square meter space lush with luxuriant plants and blossoming flowers that has been splendidly preserved to create unique parkland amidst the narrow alleys of the city.Situated in a 17 th -century palatial building that previously served as a French and Savoy embassy, just minutes from the center of Venice, the Dei Dogi occupies an exclusive spot overlooking the Lagoon and close to the Rialto. The beauty of Venice unfolds in the Dei Dogi's 72 guest rooms, as the silence of the surrounding garden makes the chaos of the nearby Rialto seem distant. Ancient decorations blend with modern comforts to assure guests feel quite at home. Enter this magnificent world and you'll feel as if you've been whisked back in time to another opulent age.No view can compare with the extraordinary scene that unfolds before you at the Dei Dogi. Most of the 70 rooms - including 7 Junior Suites and a magnificent awe-inspiring Presidential Suite - have a breathtaking vista of the splendid lagoon or the lovely centuries-old garden. The view inside is no less spectacular. Beautiful antiques, exquisite Murano glass, glistening marble and luxurious silk decorate your room. Yet in this sumptuous atmosphere of bygone days, your stunning abode is also provided with the most modern comforts and advanced technologies so that you'll always be in line with the times.
