About Centurion Palace
Overlooking St. Marks Basin at the mouth of the Grand Canal, Centurion Palace is housed in the former convent of Palazzo Genovese. Rooms and suites have a contrasting modern influence and there is a private garden, butler service and a gourmet restaurant. Expect peace and tranquillity in this relatively quiet area of Dorsoduro, virtually next door to the famous landmark, Santa Maria della Salute. Each room and suite is individually decorated in contemporary style, many of which have dreamy, mystical city views. This provides a great base for exploring the city. Walk to the lively Campo Santa Margherita with its numerous cafes and afterwards visit the Peggy Guggenheim Collection. Return for early evening cocktails in the garden or at the corner bar by the canal before dining in the hotel restaurant on haute Mediterranean and creative cuisine.
The Dorsoduro Area is one of the quietest and oldest of Venice, now considered the most trendy area of the town. With its incomparable view on the Grand Canal and the St. Mark s Basin, Centurion Palace is located a few steps from the well-known Basilica della Salute, a 2 minute walk from the Guggenheim collection, and a 5 minute walk from the Accademia Gallery. The location is also excellent, considering the Grand Opening of the Punta della Dogana, Contemporary Art Museum, next June.
