Ca’ Pisani Hotel, Venice

Rio Terrà Foscarini, 979A, 30123 Dorsoduro, Venezia VE, Italy (show on map)

The Ca’ Pisani Hotel is a true Venetian gem, famously known as the city’s first “design hotel.” Housed within a beautifully restored 14th-century merchant’s townhouse in the artistic Dorsoduro district, it offers a fascinating contrast. While the historic exterior remains true to its centuries-old roots, the interiors were completely reimagined during a renovation between 1998 and 2000 to highlight bold 1930s and 40s Art Deco and Futurist influences.

The hotel’s unique personality comes from its meticulous attention to detail. Every piece of furniture in the 29 rooms is an authentic period piece, complemented by modern touches and traditional Venetian weaving techniques used in its luxury fabrics. The design—led by architects Roberto Luigi Canovaro and Pierluigi Pescolderung—creates a sophisticated, geometric aesthetic that feels worlds apart from the typical gilded Venetian style.

One of the property’s standout features is its rooftop “Altana” terrace, a quintessential Venetian architectural element that provides a stunning vantage point over the city’s rooftops. Guests can also unwind in an on-site Turkish bath or enjoy a drink at the street-level café, which is a popular spot for locals to gather.

Location-wise, the hotel is perfectly positioned for art lovers. It sits just a short stroll from the Gallerie dell’Accademia and the world-renowned Peggy Guggenheim Collection. Despite being so close to these major landmarks, the Dorsoduro neighborhood remains a peaceful, authentic residential area, offering a quiet escape from the busier tourist hubs of Venice.

Expert reviews

CNN review:

“As befits its status in the Design Hotels fold, this is a bold modernization of a 500-year-old merchant’s house on Dorsoduro, near the Accademia. Not too modern, mind you; it’s been entirely redone in Art Deco style, with furniture from the 1930s and 1940s, and futurist art on the walls by Fortunato Depero.”

Telegraph review:

“Ca’ Pisani was the first Venetian hotel to abandon traditional brocade and chandeliers for a design approach, opting for an Art Deco look. The hotel’s location close to the Accademia gallery makes it popular with art lovers. The Accademia bridge is nearby for quick access across the Grand Canal to San Marco.”

Ca'Pisani Hotel for excellent design, comfort and central access for transport in the Dorsodoro.

The location is excellent especially having a 2 minute walking access to the Academia Bridge /Vaparetto as well as Zateree/ Vaparetto/Alilaugana and the Geudeca . The overall design of the furnishings and interiors was of the highest quality design , especially the Art Deco feathers. The room was very comfortable - good design features and lighting. Comfortable bed .Very good breakfast.

The high quality of design throughout the hotel is exceptional , one feature though which would be helpful is to have a hand rail to assist in getting in and out of the bath.

Great hotel in an excellent location

Really loved the location right by the Acadamia bridge - amazing sunrises and sunsets over the bridge. It's a great hotel, with a really friendly and helpful team and a 24 hour reception. We were on the 3rd floor so made good use of the 3rd floor terrace. Excellent breakfast choices. Would definitely stay again and try a room on the first floor which had a lovely seating area outside. No kettles in the rooms but you can ask for one.

Air con was glitchy but hopefully it was fixed when we left.

Excellent staff / concierge

Not all the rooms have good views, most look straight into the building/street next door, so be aware that there is not much natural light in those side rooms. This could have been explained on the website. But, the concierge was great and changed our room to one with a better view and more natural light, which was excellent.

This hotel is a gem. Our room was very large and had two full bathrooms! Breakfast was very good. The neighborhood was quiet and lovely to walk around. And only minutes walk to sights. 14 min walk to St Marks. They also have a free private boat ride to the glass factory in Murano. From there super easy yo take the public waters to burano.

Excellent location but a little bit pricey.

The reception staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. It’s in a fantastic location close to the main sights but also very quiet.

There wasn’t much that I didn’t like to be honest. It felt a little dark in our room and we weren’t advised about the Turkish Bath or rooftop terrace when we arrived.

Proffesional hospitality with stylish timeless interiors without hurting your wallet.

The hotel is a great location, perfect central without crowds a tourists at the doorstep. The design is timeless, art deco, and funky, true eye for details and the extremely professional staff have well trained and rehearsed systems in place that ensure great service.

Our room had a strange creaking sound that we couldn’t solve, that’s about it.

Perfection!!

Everything!! The staff are amazing. Lovely touches like turndown service in the evenings, and shutting the blinds. A little lavender bag placed by the bed to aid sleep, was v thoughtful too. Beds are super comfy, great having inner doors to separate the bathroom, and main door to the rest of the bedroom. Meant that I could move around the room without waking up my son. I misplaced a ring, and the cleaning staff found it - I hadn’t even reported it missing! Would definitely go back again!!

Nothing. Everything was perfect.

Great value, trendy design hotel in a superb location with excellent staff.

Our room on the mezzanine level was sumptuous and quiet. The location is excellent for getting away from the crowds but with easy, quick access to e.g. San Marco square via the Ponte dell'Accademia. The staff were exemplary! A lift gives easy access to all floors and the roof terrace.

Nothing major or minor to emphasise.

Great clean hotel and staff, comfortable stay in the heart of the city!

It is located on one of the outer islands, which was more suited to us. We loved the location and how it was possible to walk it everywhere from there, a km or max 1.5 km to everywhere. Staff was very friendly and helpful! No complaints at all, would love to visit again ! Tip- the ac was too warm for our liking, would have preferred it to be cooler, which it was on the first night but not the second night.

Lovely hotel - will try to visit again!

Fantastic location - very comfortable room with excellent bed and blackout, and pleasant public areas. Really helpful staff too. Ideally placed between Lattere and Accademia ferry stations, but still very quiet. This area of Venice is very nice indeed. Breakfast very good and restaurant always uncrowded.

My bath/shower was a little difficult to get in and out of (I am a bit crumbly...). I gather there are rooms with a walk-in shower, and I would choose one of those if I stayed here again. Nice cosmetics/shampoo though - not just the stuff in a vat...

Gorgeous hotel with wonderful staff

We had an amazing stay in this superb hotel. I was celebrating my birthday there and the staff did everything to make it extra special - they helped us with booking a restaurant, and surprised us by upgrading our room to a suite and leaving a complimentary bottle of prosecco in the room. The staff were all so helpful, lovely and thoughtful, really exceptional service. The room was fab - huge comfy bed and large bathroom with a separate shower and jacuzzi tub. Excellent buffet breakfast with lots of choice. Loved the gorgeous art deco features and antiques around the hotel. Location wise it was perfect, away from the busy centre in laid back Dorsoduro, but only a couple of minutes from the Accademia bridge across to San Marco and there are two vaporetto stops nearby. Thanks so much for making it an unforgettable trip to Venice, would happily stay again.

A great base for a visit to Venice without breaking the bank. Fab!

Really comfortable room, warm with extremely comfortable bed/pillows. Superb location within short distance of some of the great attractions of Venice. Great value for money. Staff were exceptional with some terrific tips on how to get the most from a short visit to (in my opinion) the most beautiful city in the world. We will definitely return.

Honestly, no complaints. Our visit to Venice was wonderful, thanks in a good measure to Ca Pisani.

The Location was excellent and the staff friendly, professional and made us feel at home. We Loved the art deco decor and all the holiday decorations. Now, for the breakfast … WOW just wonderful with all the options. The staff in restaurant were very accommodating and the decor was so beautiful.

The bathtub which is extremely dangerous to get in and out of. The room would have benefitted from a desk and it could have been larger. The glass entertainment center where TV was housed did not compliment the room.

The only odd thing was the layout in my bathroom. You had to side a big mirror door to squeeze in to get to the toilet & bidet. That covered the closet so you had to slide it back to get into closet. Very awkward.

Wonderful Boutique Hotel in Peaceful Area

Gorgeous hotel, exceptional design, super comfortable and quiet. Really great location only two mins walk from the Peggy Guggenheim collections, surrounded by a vast array of great places to eat. Right off the Grand Canal. Very easy to reach by either public transport (water bus) or water taxi. Finally, last but definitely not least, a wonderful staff who treats you like family. Every single person here really cares about their positions, from the man who helped us with the luggage to the reception team (superb) to the guys in the breakfast room and bar. I can’t wait to return.
