With 26 stunning, world-class hotels dotted around the globe from Morocco to Indonesia, Aman Resorts takes Italy via a glorious Venetian canalside property…
And boy, is she a Serenissma stunner! Every inch as exquisite as you’d expect, the Aman Canal Grande sits pretty in the C.16th Palazzo Papadopoli, housing 24 elegant suites featuring beautiful views as well as stagger-fab frescos, reliefs and art, which draw the eye amidst otherwise simple and contemporary furnishings in a palette of beige, greige, soft blue and gold. Andemo, one gondola ride to San Polo…
If it’s all just too beautiful to bear, find sanctuary at the hotel spa, then come cocktail hour, enjoy the tinkling keys of the grand piano in the Salon. Next, climb the sweeping staircase to the regal Dining Room for fine Italian and Thai cuisine, or take a table at Naoki for haute Japanese fare. And while the not-to-be-missed roof terrace overlooks the many rooftops and winding canals of this sinking city, insiders know that ACG also boasts not one but two (of precious few) private gardens on the canal; quiet, verdant, decidedly cargo-panted-tourist-free oases that are perfect for rarefied romance over an alfresco lunch, or relaxed sips at sunset. Simply perfetto!
