"Located in the center of Venice, Ca' Pisani is housed in a palazzo built in the late 1500s. The 29-room hotel is a mix of minimalist Art Deco inspired by the cool graphics of the 1920s Futurist painters, and eclectic 1930s and 1940s furniture. Each room has a bed from a different period, offset by funky metallic-silver desks and comfy leather armchairs. Just off the sleek lobby, there is a bar and restaurant, La Rivista, which attracts a fashionable crowd of local Venetians. —Sarah James" - Sarah James, Anne Hanley

"Ca’Pisani Overlooking a postcard-perfect Venetian street (a former canal, now paved over) in the artistic Dorsoduro district, this 500-year-old merchant’s townhouse has been revamped as the boutique hotel Ca’Pisani. Behind the traditional exterior lies a modern den with clean lines and sharp, geometric forms that’s enhanced by original work from one of Italy’s most notable Futurist artists, Fortunato Depero. Architects Roberto Luigi Canovaro and Pierluigi Pescolderung balanced original design elements—exposed beam ceilings, brickwork—with 1930s touches, including one-of-a-kind inlay door designs and custom masonry and marble work. Gaze out at the city’s rooftops from the hotel’s roof terrace, or mingle with locals over wine or an espresso at the street-level café. With the Peggy Guggenheim collection and the Gallerie dell’Accademia gallery just a stroll away, you’ll be able to journey from 16 th -century Venice to the 20 th century all in a few famous paintings."

"Why did this hotel catch your attention? What's the vibe?Ca’ Pisani, an homage to Art Deco with some beautiful period pieces, presents a stylish change from the chandelier-and-velvet Venetian norm. The 29-room hotel broke the traditional mode in 2000, when it became the city’s first design hotel. There’s more competition now, but it still holds its own. What's the backstory?Ca’ Pisani belongs to a Venetian hotelier family. Tell us all about the accommodations. Any tips on what to book?With dark polished wood, lots of mirrors, some exquisite original Art Deco pieces, Ca’ Pisani is beautifully designed and maintained. Rooms vary considerably in size, so check descriptions carefully. There are family rooms and a junior suite. The duplex rooms are comfortable but have steep steps between floors. Is there a charge for Wi-Fi?Wi-fi is free and fast. Drinking and dining—what are we looking at?Next door (and attached) to Ca’ Pisani is La Rivista, a pleasant restaurant with Futurist-style décor and an interesting menu of light dishes, with an emphasis on local produce. Breakfast consists of a fine spread of fresh goodies. Guests seeking the perfect romantic setting can book exclusive use of T-Rooftop 12.24, the hotel's terrace. And the service?Friendly but discreet. What type of travelers will you find here?A location near some of the city’s leading galleries makes it popular with an art-loving crowd. What about the neighborhood? Does the hotel fit in, make itself part of the scene?The Dorsoduro district is less trafficked than others, despite the fact that it’s home to a host of galleries, from the old master-packed Accademia to the Guggenheim collection and the ultra-contemporary Punta della Dogana. Ca’ Pisani is perfectly placed between them, and there’s bridge-free access from here to two vaporetto stops. Any other hotel features worth noting?The hotel is pet-friendly and family-friendly, and it has a steam room. Bottom line: Worth it? Why?This hotel is well appointed and perfectly located for serious gallery trawling." - Anne Hanley

We just finished up our second stay with this hotel and couldn’t be more pleased. This is such a wonderful treat in Venice, where the rooms and hotel are lovely and the service extraordinary. Elegance without arrogance. Every single staff member was so kind and helpful throughout our stay- they made our stay so special. Loved having the expresso maker just outside the room! I recommend getting the breakfast with the room- great spread every morning. Worth the splurge. Thank you!

We loved everything about our stay at the Ca’Pisani Hotel. The location was perfect, it is close to the water and great restaurants. It has a lovely roof top as well as a lounge area on each floor with an Expresso coffee machine. The front desk staff was wonderful. We really enjoyed the complementary trip to the Murano Glass Factory. Would highly recommend.

This is the best choice for a hotel in Venice. You can tell the staff really love the hotel. It is beautiful and everyone works together for an experience you won't forget. The restaurant is a pleasure, and the concierge was always helpful with restaurant reservations, directions and they even found me a dog sitter. Very helpful. Also, the location cannot be beat. I have been 7 times and cannot wait to go again.||

We love this location as it centrality makes it very easy to get most everywhere in the lagoon, and the fact that 500 m from the hotel there are multiple water taxi stops makes transport a breeze... ||||Add to that a purpose driven design and furnishing scheme with wonderful service & I think you have the total package. ||||||There are fancier places in Venice, but few with a vision as unique!

Staff are friendly and helpful. The rooms are comfortable and clean with a decent-sized bathroom, also spotlessly clean. The in-house restaurant is good value for an evening meal and the breakfast is excellent. In summary, staying at the Ca' Pisani is much to be recommended.

The location is great but even better is the staff. Extremely friendly and accommodating. Unfortunately several weeks after my stay - when I arrived home I noticed I was missing some jewelry. I called the hotel and they said I left it in the room safe. They mailed it back to me and their communication was constant until I received the package. Thank you for your honesty and amazing service!

Ok, so the decor is a bit 1980's but actually so is most of Venice. It's a lot of blown glass which comes off a lot like Designing Women vibes. But.., the staff is professional and kind. They really go out of their way to say hello. The bed linens are gorgeous and Italian and so fresh and so clean. The towels are really nice and embossed with their logo. I prefer the fluffy kind, but they are still really nice. But there are a bunch of odd buttons that could have been updated years ago. For instance there are no USB charging plugs and there are no adapters in the room. Also there is no shampoo, conditioner, lotion or tissue in the room. Is that a prerequisite for a star or something? There's a speaker on the wall that started static-ing while I was trying to sleep. It took me forever to figure out that the light above the TV only went off when you pushed the desk in. And there is this crazy ass tulip looking thing in the bathroom that in the 80s might have been a cool focus lamp for tweezing my whiskers, but now is just in my way. Also the shower is hella dangerous. It's no surprise that it has a bunch of holes to take a Jacuzzi bath, which is the grossest thing in the world to do in a hotel but, I digress.... I didn't love the breakfast, maybe because some people have no idea how to politely use a Buffet. You don't pick up the food with your hands or scrape food off of a serving spoon with your thumb. But that's the tourists' fault for being tacky, not the hotel. I love the location. It's away from the hubbub, but close enough to get to everything you want to see.

Ca Pisani Hotel was incredible. Staff take time to memorize your name , face and room assignments. It's a super hip place the decor is awesome they have green cheetah print carpets and somehow it works?! Nespresso machine on the 1st floor and awesome breakfast included. Staff was super helpful with connecting to the airport about our lost luggage. Always willing to help give you directions and find exactly what you are looking for. They helped us to arrange last minute transportation to Ravenna aswell! Really loved this place and the rooftop views are incredible!

Very nice hotel in a quiet area in Venice. Lovely breakfast which included real honeycomb ( um- random but how cool?) and fresh squeezed juices. Helpful front desk staff. Transfer to airport was expensive but hotel arranged everything for a seamless departure to airport. They even packed us breakfast to go boxes at 4:00 am! Art Deco designed hotel. Only 15-20 min walk from the hustle and bustle. Would recommend

Ca' Pisani was our first hotel stop in Italy. After a rocky start full of disorganization with our pre-arranged private water taxi from the airport, we were delighted to be greeted with a warm welcome at the hotel. Our room wasn't quite ready when we arrived, but we were encouraged to check out the restaurant and grab lunch, which we did. When we arrived in our room, our luggage was already there and set up on luggage racks. There were 3 of us traveling together and our room was on the third floor and was very spacious. The bathroom had a jacuzzi tub (note: the shower is in the jacuzzi tub and there is no shower curtain, but we did not have much of an issue with water splashing everywhere). The bathroom was stocked with small toiletries. The room was spotless and cleaned on a daily basis. There is even an evening turndown service. On our first evening (Thursday), there was a complimentary happy hour with cocktails and light snacks. The staff in the restaurant was delightful. We each enjoyed two drinks prior to our dinner reservation. We also went to the restaurant for breakfast (must try: honey from the honeycomb. I drizzled honey on a croissant). The hotel also has a small rooftop terrace, which provides a nice view of the surrounding area. They also have a steam room (which we did not personally try). You do have to turn in your room key when the leave the hotel and the staff is quick to recognize you upon your return. The staff also provided excellent dining recommendations and answered any and all questions we had about the city. The hotel is small and the personalized service is an excellent touch. Truly can't say enough wonderful things about this hotel and it was a great start to our vacation.

Amazing little hotel so far; I feel like a princess. It's in the arts area and a bit off the beaten path. We got a suite which was tinier than most American "regular" hotel rooms but absolutely beautiful. My bed was two singles pushed together, but has mostly been the standard on my trip and we aren't exactly hosteling. It is quite hard which is why I just can't make this a five. Oddly, the bedside table was really dusty and hadn't been cleaned, yet the maid left a "foot towel" by my bed side which was a nice touch but not necessary. Unfortunately, I am allergic when things are really dusty so even relaxing on the bed made for a very irritating experience which is why is another reason why I had to slightly lower the star rating for this hotel. The bathroom was amazing, although it was lacking face cloths. The customer service is top notch and even included breakfast. Unfortunately, it's also missing the Nespresso machine we have been spoiled with up until this point. The bellman was from Bangladesh and so friendly. The front desk fellow was top notch. What is interesting is that all of the Northern Italians are blonde--think like authentic, Italian Guy Fieri right down to the hairstyle. I will certainly write more as I go, but it is so far the coolest part of my trip to Italy. So glad that I found it and I hope that you can enjoy it, too!

After four stays at this hotel it feels like my home away from hotel. Traveling fairly often in Europe I enjoy returning to Ca'Pisani where they have a knack of remembering names. The beautiful room, lovely breakfast at La'Rivista with the excellent Italian press coffee, and the staff, including general manager Marianna, really combine so well to make Ca'Pisani not only a very reasonable alternative to the noisy areas around other properties, but a very convenient location and a place where I always feel welcome.

My wife and I stayed here on our honeymoon. The hotel was charming on the outside and very modern on the inside. The location was very good as there are plenty of water taxi stations close, tons of restaurants in walkable distance, and the Doge Palace and St. Mark's Basilica is only about a 15-20 min walk (which is nothing in Europe)! The only complaint that I would say is that my wife said the AC wasn't cold enough (we were here in early August) and the shower door in the bathroom was a single, sliding glass door that didn't cover the whole shower so water got on the floor unless you were careful.

Ren S.

Yelp

I would give this place a MINUS 5 stars. We stayed here three nights and while the rooms were ok (just ok) and most of the staff was friendly, a very unkind, unfriendly and angry front desk attendant welcomed us one night by stopping us and aggressively asking us to show them our key and was angry at us for not having left them at the front desk, he claimed that it was hotel owner policy and that it should have been explained to us (which it was not and what kind of policy is that). Stay elsewhere. It ruined a perfectly lovely evening in Venice.

Omg. I love this hotel so much, I'm wondering why it's only ranked #30 of 437 on Tripadvisor. First off, the location is excellent. So it's not smack dab in the middle of St. Mark's or Rialto Bridge. But not only are vaporetto stops right out front, but there's also the Accademia Bridge leading straight to the the heart of Venice's alleys and corridors. The Accademia vaporetto stop includes lines 1 and 2 (both directions) and the glorious and spacious VIP-like Vaporetto dell'Arte. And it's mere steps from the hotel entrance. For a 4 star hotel in Venice, the price is quite reasonable at a little over €200/night. There's free breakfast, turn down service, free wifi and a jacuzzi bathtub. Oh and the Lush Grass shower gel is simply amazing (which also makes for an excellent shampoo and foaming bubble bath!) The beds were so comfortable, I genuinely thought I was sleeping at home. Seriously, I woke up the first morning wondering where my dog was. I will definitely stay again at this wonderful hotel when I return to Venice.

This was an OK hotel. Location was perfect and away from the hustle and bustle of the major tourist attractions. It was easy to get to, (although we kind of got lost during a hail storm one night!). The building is nice and the restaurant I heard is pretty good although we didn't eat there. My disappointment with the hotel was the sound coming from the lobby. Our room came with double doors and probably because of the noise but it still didn't help much. The guests staying in the room above us also were obviously on their honeymoon, if you know what I mean... I know it's an old building but there are ways to oil a bed or put in better sound proofing especially at the price per night. The room top deck is not to be missed though! We went mid September so off season was the way to go to have it all to ourselves.

Very clean, air conditioned. Quiet yet busy street with delicious breakfast included. Accordion player down the street during the day. Clean neat room with jacuzzi tub (enjoyed after a full day of walking the town). Walking distance to San Marco and Rialto. Helpful concierge reception.

Did 3 nights here. The fair sized room is quite expensive at well over £100. The double bed takes most of the available space. There are lots of gadgets; electronics open & close window shutters, room temperatures and the do not disturb sign. Spa bath & shower very pleasant. Bathroom well equipped - lots of soap, cotton bud & balls separate toilet & bidet. Breakfast is fine but only 1 type of ham and 1 type of processed cheese - there should be more choice at these prices. There is a machine if you want to squeeze your own orange juice - most of the oranges are tasty naturally sweet blood oranges! The coffee is no better than just ok. Now getting here - you can expect to be asked for €100 from the main airport to Venice - then you'll have to get to the hotel by water taxi. This is not, repeat not a luggage friendly place. The water taxi fare is only good value if you buy a 1 day 3 day or a week pass as a single journey is €6:50 for 1 person. Once on board you are going to Academia and the Hotel is 3 minutes once you dis bark but you are well centred here. Venice is expensive and full of charming spivs who only want to separate you from your money for example pizzas are easily averaging €12 plus a scandalous €2 to sit in, plus a service charge and with diet coke and latte about €3:50 and beer can be over €5 for 330ml it quickly and subtly becomes an expensive pizza. The pubs and sometimes thr cafes are good value but you must be ever careful for the spiv - yes they are charming and yes they are usually helpful but they only want your money. Use of a public toilet costs €1:50, so if you want a good deal best avoid Italy. A gondala ride 80 euro for 35 minutes - 80 euro if its one or 6 people - my return flight from Ireland cost less. If it rains when you are on the Gondola then your journey could be much less than 35 minutes but the price won't drop. I liked Venice but won't rush back to it or Italy as I begrudge paying to pee and just to sit in a restaurant. And in truth €12 for an ungenerous pizza that becomes €20 just with the addition of a glass of coke, cover and service well that's taking the p**s - worse still add a latte and you'll approach €25 for one person - at home I can get a three course meal for two people and a bottle of wine in a good restaurant. Finally one startling fact: saw a small scruffy basic cafe near St Marks Square, thankfully the price list was on the window, stand at the bar for a tiny cappuccino €2.30 or sit at a wobbly old wooden table, no comfort no style you would part with €8.20 for the same tiny cup of cappuccino. Now that's daylight robbery and then some.

My wife and I were on our honeymoon, and unfortunately booked a neighboring hotel that was tiny, dated, had paper thin walls, had a very uncomfortable bed, and had a ton of mosquitoes. We started looking at nearby hotels and came across Ca' Pisani. OMG what a difference!!! Ca' Pisani staff were super friendly and accommodating, they showed us the room we would have, and it blew us away. It was light years nicer, more modern and much more comfortable. While we were there they had a really nice happy hour and gave all of the guests a few free drinks, we enjoyed relaxing on the roof top terrace and hearing the bells all over the city chime. The dinner at the hotel was delicious and on par with the best dinning we had experienced in Venice. Breakfast the following morning was also the best I had of all the hotels I stayed at in Italy!! The delicious breakfast pastries were better than anything I could find in the shops in Venice. Ca' Pisani saved our trip once again as we found out the night before we were leaving Venice that the next morning the local transport union was going on strike. Ca' Pisani staff helped us to find alternate transport to the train station and spent an hour to help us look at Bus and other alternative options to get to our next destination. This hotel is gorgeous, has great amenities and the staff will really go way above and beyond to ensure that your stay is superb. When I next come back to Venice there is no doubt that this is where I will be staying.
