There is a Venice that offers itself in silence, sheltered from the spotlight, and that is the very reason why it is chosen by those who recognize the value of confidentiality. It is the most intimate and secret Venice that is revealed in the sestiere of Dorsoduro, a corner of the city where history and culture intertwine in a continuous dialogue, guardian of rare and precious atmospheres. Here Hotel Nani Mocenigo Palace welcomes artists, directors, performers and producers in search of beauty and quiet. Between festivals, previews and inspirational sojourns, the palace confirms itself as a favorite destination for those who live and work in the world of the arts, a refuge chosen for its ability to combine history, comfort and an atmosphere dense with suggestions.

In the heart of one of the neighborhoods most intensely crossed by history and culture-between the Gallerie dell’Accademia and Punta della Dogana, a few steps from the historic squero of San Trovaso-the building preserves intact the grace of the Serenissima and restores it in every detail. Indeed, the Nani Mocenigo Palace presents itself as a narrative in the making, a natural set where each stay fits into a larger and more refined plot, that of a Venice that can be discovered without artifice, with intensity and measure. Far from the exhibited worldliness, but still just a few minutes from the Film Festival and the main contemporary art circuits, the Hotel welcomes with warm discretion those who are looking for an exclusive place, able to tell the story of the city through its history and its secrets.

It is in this unique setting that many personalities from the world of film and music have found a temporary home, appreciating its discreet service and that intimate correspondence between space and spirit that only certain places can offer. Among the most recent guests are Oscar winner Kevin Costner, star of a private stay, actress Susan Sarandon, singer Sílvia Pérez Cruz and the couple formed by Xanddy and Carla Perez, leading figures in the Latin American music scene, director Jeff Groth, up to the famous photographer and influencer Nima Benati. Prominent presences that confirm the Hotel’s role as an ideal refuge for those seeking not only elegance, but also inspiration and an authentic contact with the soul of Venice.

The connection between the Nani Mocenigo Palace and the world of cinema is renewed season after season, silent and faithful, almost an unwritten ritual that accompanies the succession of city cultural events. Because authenticity, the real kind, does not need proclamations: it is enough to cross the threshold to understand it and feel welcomed into a dwelling that invites you to experience Venice with a new, curious and passionate gaze.
