Fourth Radisson Collection Opens In Venice, Italy

Share this:

The fourth Radisson Collection Hotel, Palazzo Nani Venice has opened its doors in the historic heart of the city.

Situated close to the Venetian Ghetto, the hotel’s 52 beautifully designed rooms offer views of the Cannaregio Canal, city streets or the quiet courtyard.

The interior decoration preserves the stuccos and frescoes attributed to the Italian sculptor Alessandro Vittoria, who also remodelled the palazzo in the 1680s.

Built-in the 16th century, the hotel was the residence of the Nani family, an ancient Venetian family engaged in the political, social and cultural life of the city’s rich past.

A 22-month extensive renovation project led by architects Studio Marco Piva and approved by the Fine Arts Heritage Committee has transformed Palazzo Nani into a five-star Radisson Collection Hotel.

While the restoration work aimed to preserve the original decorative and architectural elements of the building’s façade and interiors, special attention was paid to the restoration of historical ornaments, stuccos and paintings on the walls and ceilings.

During the excavation works, some Roman flooring was found and registered by the Fine Arts and Heritage Protection Authorities.

Chema Basterrechea, President EMEA at Radisson Hotel Group said, “We’re thrilled to establish our presence in this iconic city with our premium lifestyle brand Radisson Collection, which includes emblematic properties in unique locations with exceptional style and service.”

“Following the successful opening of Radisson Collection Hotel, Palazzo Touring Club Milan in August, we now have four Radisson Collection hotels in operation in Italy and continue to expand in the country.”

The hotel’s facilities include a private meeting room and space which can host up to 80 people, the Zoja Wine Bar & Terrace which offers traditional Venetian food, wine and cocktails in a cosmopolitan atmosphere. The serene garden on the north side of the hotel overlooks the Cannaregio Canal, creating a visual garden-water connection.

Radisson Collection Hotel, Palazzo Nani Venice lies in the Cannaregio district, known for the historic Jewish Ghetto and the many local bars and restaurants offering a truly Venetian experience.

The Vaporetto stop just outside the hotel provides easy access to the rest of the city with its sights and connects the hotel to the train station, airport and the popular islands of Murano and Burano.
