Your hotel in Venice, just steps away from San Marco Square
Hotel Gabrielli: The Timeless Elegance of Venice
A place where history meets contemporary luxury, Hotel Gabrielli embodies the timeless charm of Venice. Located along the prestigious Riva degli Schiavoni, just steps from Piazza San Marco, the hotel enjoys a prime position with an unrivaled view of the island of San Giorgio Maggiore and the Bacino di San Marco. Owned by the Perkhofer family for generations, Hotel Gabrielli will reopen in August 2025 after a meticulous restoration that enhances its historical richness while reinterpreting it with contemporary elegance.
An Architecture that Tells a Story
The building is an architectural masterpiece that unites three historic palaces, the oldest of which dates back to the 14th century. Over the centuries, Hotel Gabrielli has welcomed some of the brightest minds in art, architecture, and philosophy, from Alicja Kwade and Adolf Loos to Franz Kafka and Sigmund Freud. A must-see stop on the Grand Tour and a favorite refuge for travelers on the Orient Express, the hotel is now returning to its former splendor.
The imposing Venetian-style facade leads to evocative interiors, where time seems suspended. Exposed beam ceilings, arched windows, original frescoes, and restored Murano glass chandeliers harmoniously coexist with design details, creating an environment where the past converses with the present.
Elegance and Comfort for an Exceptional Stay
Hotel Gabrielli offers 66 exclusive rooms and suites, furnished with antique furniture enhanced by contemporary details. Each space is designed to provide a refined stay, perfectly balancing historical charm and modern comfort.
Guests can indulge in absolute relaxation in the 600-square-meter private garden, a hidden green corner in the heart of the city, or admire Venice from the enchanting panoramic terrace. An exclusive wellness experience awaits in the luxury spa, while the private dock allows guests to explore the lagoon with elegance and comfort.
A Restoration that Celebrates Venice
Every detail of the restoration has been carefully crafted with the utmost respect for the hotel’s soul and its historical context. The color palette, inspired by the colors of the lagoon and Venetian stones, combines sophisticated tones like dark gray and lagoon green in the common areas, while warm hues like ivory, walnut, and marble dominate the private spaces, creating a welcoming and refined atmosphere. This fusion of tradition and innovation offers an authentic Venice, reinterpreted in a modern light.
A Journey Through Flavors and Inspirations
The gastronomic experience at Hotel Gabrielli is a tribute to the Venetian culinary tradition, renewed with a contemporary touch. The elegant Restaurant offers refined dishes that enhance the authentic flavors of the region, while the intimate Bar & Lounge invites guests to sip signature cocktails in a sophisticated environment. Precious materials like mirrors, golden details, and green tones enrich the spaces, creating an atmosphere of exclusive elegance.
An Icon of Hospitality and Timeless Beauty
From the careful restoration to the meticulous attention to every detail, Hotel Gabrielli is more than just a destination: it is an experience that celebrates Venice in all its magic. An invitation to discover a one-of-a-kind city from a privileged perspective, where history, art, and luxury merge in perfect harmony.
