Radisson Collection has opened Radisson Collection Hotel, Palazzo Nani Venice, near the heart of the city.
Built in the 16th century, the hotel was the residence of the Nani family, a wealthy Venetian family. A 22-month extensive renovation project approved by the Fine Arts Heritage Committee has transformed Palazzo Nani into a the current hotel.
With views of the Cannaregio canal and situated by the Venetian Ghetto in the northern part of the city, the property offers 52 rooms.
The interior decoration preserves the stuccos and frescoes attributed to the Italian sculptor Alessandro Vittoria, who also remodeled the palazzo in the 1680s.
The restoration work was 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, according to Radisson.
The hotel’s facilities include a private meeting room and space which can host up to 80 people, and the Zoja Wine Bar & Terrace which offers traditional Venetian food, wine and cocktails. The garden on the north side of the hotel overlooks the Cannaregio Canal.
Radisson Collection Hotel, Palazzo Nani Venice lies in the Cannaregio district, known for the historic Jewish Ghetto and the many local bars and restaurants. The Vaporetto stop just outside the hotel provides access to the rest of the city with its sights, and connects the hotel to the train station, airport and the islands of Murano and Burano.
