Venice Welcomes A New Chapter In Heritage Led Luxury Travel

At Palazzo Donà Giovannelli, Orient Express brings its theatre of travel ashore. Set within a 15th-century Venetian palazzo, the hotel transforms arrival into ritual, pairing Gothic traces, Baroque detail and contemporary hospitality with quiet precision. Its 47 rooms, private apartments, canal-side dining and Wagon Bar create a world where heritage feels alive rather than preserved. This is Venice as an immersive design narrative, crafted for travellers who seek atmosphere, authorship and the rare pleasure of time beautifully suspended.
