H10 Palazzo Canova
Venice City | Italy
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Stay right on Venice’s Grand Canal in a perfectly restored 19th‑century palazzo. H10 Palazzo Canova blends contemporary design with classic Venetian touches – think Murano glass, warm woods and a calm, residential feel – all just a few steps from Rialto Bridge and an easy stroll from St Mark’s Square. The star of the show is the panoramic rooftop terrace bar, where you can watch gondolas glide by with a spritz in hand.
Step out of your hotel and straight into postcard‑perfect Venice. From H10 Palazzo Canova’s doors you’re moments from the Rialto Bridge, with the Grand Canal as your front garden and the city’s most iconic landmarks a short wander away. Inside, the look is polished yet relaxed, with thoughtful nods to Venetian heritage and a rooftop terrace that’s made for golden‑hour cocktails.
For couples and city‑breakers seeking Italy’s most atmospheric canal city, H10 Palazzo Canova delivers that coveted “live‑like‑a‑local” feel right on the Grand Canal. Venice Marco Polo Airport is typically around 30–60 minutes away by boat, depending on whether you opt for a shared Vaporetto or private water taxi. See more Italy holidays.

Restaurants and Bars
Mornings at H10 Palazzo Canova start in the bright breakfast room, with a buffet of continental favourites, fresh pastries and hot dishes to set you up for a day exploring Venice.
The real showstopper is the rooftop terrace snack bar – an adults‑only space perched above the Grand Canal.

A smart casual dress code may apply. Opening times, menus and any supplements can change seasonally and by board basis.

For a summer cool‑down, pair a chilled spritz or soft drink with those iconic water‑level views and watch the boats go by.
