Palazzo Priuli Hotel description
Rising majestically alongside two enchanting canals in a quiet neighborhood not far from Saint Mark’s Square, Palazzo Priuli is an architectural gem that has inspired painters and architects throughout the centuries. The house was built for Procurator Giovanni Priuli in the late fourteenth century and was among the first secular constructions in the city to incorporate several of the architectural innovations from the recently completed Doge's Palace. It consequently marks a significant step toward the full flowering of Venetian Gothic architecture and shows a masterful blending of Italian Gothic elements with delicately carved Moorish traceries. Originally frescoed on the facade by Palma Vecchio, the home is a testament to the wealth and prominence of the noble Priuli family.
Located along the picturesque canal "Rio de l'Osmarin", the comfortable standard rooms are furnished with original Neo-Renaissance pieces from the late nineteenth century, hand-wrought iron chandeliers with Murano glass globes, and rich, supple velvets.
The hotel's deluxe rooms enjoy a bright, southern exposure along the canal "Rio di san Severo". Spacious and comfortable, they are stylishly furnished with original Neo-Renaissance pieces from the late nineteenth century, Murano glass chandeliers, and rich, supple velvets.
Tnephew of Procurator Giovanni Priuli who built Palazzo Priuli, Gerolamo Priuli succeeded his younger brother Lorenzo on the ducal throne after much uncertainty and 35 ballots. Not since the election of Agostino Barbarigo in 1486 had two members of the same family succeeded one another, and the Venetians, always fearful that the Republic could be transformed into a hereditary monarchy, saw in Gerolamo's election an unwelcome event.
