Housed in what was once the headquarters of the Adriatic Cruise company, Palazzo Experimental has effortlessly blended the original features and style of the property with a contemporary Venetian décor. Bold colours are used throughout, enhancing details such as the beautiful terrazzo floors and giving a modern twist to the typical style of the city.

The 32 rooms and suites at Palazzo Experimental are comfortable and contemporary, offering views of either the pleasant garden or the lagoon and Giudecca island. The majority of the stylish bathrooms have double basins and provide a unique collection of amenities, showcasing a range of brands.

There is a great focus on food and drink at Palazzo Experimental, as the property sits under the Experimental Cocktail Club brand. The hotel boasts its own cocktail club, serving delicious drinks to guests and locals alike in a contemporary Art Deco setting. Palazzo Experimental’s restaurant, Ristorante Adriatica, serves seasonal dishes inspired by Italy’s Adriatic coastline. Locally sourced ingredients are used to create mouth-watering meals, alongside the selection of typically Venetian cicchetti – small bites similar to tapas.

Palazzo Experimental is surrounded by the winding streets and canals of the Dorsoduro district, just a 20-minute walk from the hustle and bustle of St Mark’s Square. This area of the city offers a more local, authentic experience, while still remaining close to the key landmarks of Venice.
