Ca' Sagredo Hotel occupies a 15th-century palazzo on Venice’s Grand Canal, reached through a private water entrance beneath its richly decorated façade. Inside, monumental staircases, frescoes, stucco and works from the Venetian school turn the public rooms into an unusually atmospheric sequence of historic interiors. Bedrooms and suites layer silk, antique furniture and Murano glass around original architectural details, with selected rooms facing the canal. L’Alcova restaurant extends onto a waterside terrace, where passing boats and the façades of Cannaregio provide a living backdrop to the palazzo’s formal rooms.
