Palazzo Bauer, Historic palace hotel in San Marco, Italy
Palazzo Bauer is a historic palace hotel situated at the intersection of the Grand Canal and Rio di San Moise, displaying Gothic-Renaissance architecture with marble columns and elaborately decorated facades. The building extends along the waterfront with a striking combination of classic Venetian features and refined historical details.
Built in the 18th century as a noble residence, the palace underwent a major transformation into a luxury hotel in 1880 through extensive renovations by the Bauer-Grünwald family. These renovations successfully merged modern hotel functions with preservation of the original architectural character.
The palace functions as a cultural meeting point where visitors can experience Venetian art collections and classical music performances in grand halls overlooking the Grand Canal.
The hotel sits in immediate proximity to St. Mark's Square, providing easy access to major sights and Venice's center. A private water dock offers direct boat service to Marco Polo International Airport for guests.
The rooftop restaurant provides panoramic views across Venice, including the campanile of San Marco and the domes of Basilica della Salute. This vantage point allows visitors to experience the city's skyline from an unusual perspective.
