Overlooking the Grand Canal and St Mark's Square, the Centurion Palace is an elegant Venice 5 star deluxe hotel right next to the famous Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute, a jewel of the Venetian baroque. Situated in the Dorsoduro area, the hotel is a short walk from the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, which is one of the most prestigious museums in Italy for European and American modern art. This exclusive Venice Grand Canal hotel is located in a beautifully restored palace formerly known as Palazzo Genovese. Built in 1892, the hotel has a refined Italian neo-gothic façade whose majestic central section features pointed ogival arches and quatrefoils, characteristic of Venetian Gothic architecture and similar in form to the façade of the Doge's Palace. The palace also has its own private pier placed directly on the Grand Canal, as well as an interior garden. Enjoy Venetian, Italian and international gourmet cuisine at the hotel restaurant, or a glass of wine with the Grand Canal in the background in the hotel's bar. If some exercise is called for, then you can pop along to the gym. With a 50 sq. m./538 sq. ft meeting and banqueting suite and wireless internet access, this luxury Venice hotel is also an unbeatable venue for any type of corporate event or special celebration.
