Step off the water taxi and you drift into a scene reminiscent of a Veronese canvas, rising from the Grand Canal, Palazzo Papadopoli stands tall with its soaring ceilings, carved cornices, and frescoed ballrooms. The scent of aged leather, beeswax and Venetian spices lingers in the air, caught in the silk-draped walls of the 16th century Palazzo and later home to the noble Papadopoli family. Today, as you step in its gilded doors open to Aman Venice where all its Venetian splendour is preserved, aging beautifully with time and lingering like a last sip of Amarone.
Aman Venice balances the palazzo’s rich history with modern ease, picture sweeping marble staircases, supple marble underfoot, Murano chandeliers overhead and Tiepolo frescoes on the walls. Silk drapes shift with the canal breeze and the scent of polished wood lingers in the air, the twenty four rooms and suites wrap you in Venetian splendour, Jean-Michel Gathy’s modern restraint softens the opulence.
