Orient Express Venezia

A 15th-century Venetian palace reawakens after an eight-year renovation by architect Aline Asmar d’Amman. Built under the reign of master architect Filippo Calendario, known for the Doge’s Palace, Palazzo Donà Giovannelli was later transformed in the 1800s by architect Gian Battista Meduna and beautified with layers of Neo-Gothic and Baroque splendor. Once home to the Duke of Urbino and the Donà and Giovannelli families, it later became a Pinacoteca. Now, through Orient Express, it begins a new hospitality chapter, honoring the legacy of a noble mansion while embracing the spirit of the iconic hotel brand. Just ten minutes from the historic quay, the palace gleams anew, its courtyard, terraces, and garden inviting exploration.
