"Three nights inside Palazzo Papadopoli, and I'm still slightly stunned. Giacomo De Grigi built this for the Coccina family in the 1560s, and the piano nobile that Michelangelo Guggenheim reworked in Neo-Renaissance and Rococo flourish still has its Tiepolo frescoes overhead at breakfast, which is a faintly ridiculous way to eat an egg. Jean-Michel Gathy's interiors sit underneath all that gilt with real discipline, though I'll admit the restraint occasionally mutes rooms that want to be louder. Dinner at Arva is very good. Matteo Panfilio cooks close to the Rialto market with Niederkofler's zero-waste thinking behind him, and the lagoon fish needs nothing done to it. My one honest gripe: the dining room is so hushed it can feel like eating in a museum after closing. You came to Venice for noise and there isn't any here. The two gardens are the real luxury. Almost nowhere else in the city gives you private green beside the Grand Canal, and in June the canal-side one is open and worth every euro the place charges."

"The historic palace, elegant interiors, and stunning views created a truly unique atmosphere. The room was exceptionally comfortable and beautifully appointed, while the service was flawless, attentive, and genuinely warm. Every detail was handled with care, making our stay unforgettable. Our only regret was not staying longer."

"We had the pleasure of dining at Aman Venice, and even without staying at the hotel, it was immediately clear that this is an exceptionally luxurious property — truly on another level. From the very first moment, you feel the exclusivity, privacy, and refined elegance that Aman is known for. The interiors are absolutely breathtaking — like stepping into a private Venetian palace, with every detail carefully preserved and elevated to perfection. What impressed us the most was the staff. Every single person we encountered was incredibly gracious, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The level of service is flawless — discreet, intuitive, and effortlessly elegant. It truly feels like a seven-star experience. The restaurant is simply outstanding. The setting is spectacular, the atmosphere is serene and sophisticated, and the cuisine is refined, beautifully presented, and unforgettable. Even as guests visiting only for dinner, we felt completely immersed in the world of true luxury. This is not just a hotel — it is an experience of pure elegance and perfection."

"A huge thank you to the team at Aman Venice for my birthday anniversary dinner. It was a flawless experience from start to finish for our little family. The restaurant is a masterpiece of luxury and quality, set within one of the most beautiful palazzos in the city. We appreciated the intimate, quiet atmosphere which made our family dinner feel very special. The welcoming staff went above and beyond to make us and our nearly 11-year-old daughter feel comfortable. I must also mention the delicious house Aman champagne—it was a highlight of the night! If you are looking for a place where price meets exceptional quality in a historic setting, this is it. An amazing evening we will always remember."
