CENTURION PALACE - Venice Grand Canal hotels Venice Grand Canal hotel in Venice

The Dorsoduro Area is one of the quietest and oldest of Venice, now considered the most trendy area of the town. With its incomparable view on the Grand Canal and the St. Mark's Basin, Centurion Palace is located a few steps from the well-known Basilica della Salute, a 2 minute walk from the Guggenheim collection, and a 5 minute walk from the Accademia Gallery. The location is excellent, also considering the Grand Opening of the Punta della Dogana, Contemporary Art Museum, next June.

Modern and contemporary are two concepts that fit Venice like a glove as this is a city which has undergone endless changes down the centuries. And it is in Venice, next to the Basilica of Santa Maria della Salute, and between the Punta della Dogana and the Peggy Guggenheim Museum, looking directly onto the Grand Canal, St. Mark's Square and the Giudecca that we find the Centurion Palace.

The name Centurion refers to the ancient Roman coin depicting Antinous, who was famous for his friendship with the Emperor Hadrian, which was discovered when the building was being restored. The Centurion Palace, which is on the area of the Monastery of San Gregorio, has kept its splendid Venetian-Gothic facade, but just step inside and you find yourself in a magical ambience which blends luxury with the latest fashion trends.
