Opened in 2004, the contemporary 70 room Palace Bonvecchiati lies on the main street between St Mark's Square, 175 metres away, and the shopping district around Rialto Bridge, 300 metres away.

The nearest airport is Venice Marco Polo, 13 kilometres from the Piazzale Roma, Venice's only entry point by car.

The hotel displays its contemporary style in a lobby including a wall of coloured glass pieces, a bronze statue of a plump reclining nude, polished grey stone, and frosted glass.

Guests of Palace Bonvecchiati can enjoy a buffet breakfast each morning in a breakfast room with terrazzo floor, coloured acrylic panels, and white table linens.

The complimentary health club has picture window views of Venice's tiled rooftops and contains a fitness centre with cardio machines, a weights machine and free weights. The club's wet zone features an eight person spa tub and includes a sauna, steam room and massage room. A massage therapist (surcharge) and a complimentary personal trainer are available for afternoons and evenings.

Palace Bonvecchiati offers 70 air conditioned guestrooms in a five storey building. All have leather headboards, white walls, recessed lighting, white or dark wood furniture with cream coloured leather insets, and floor vases containing coloured bamboo sticks. Plasma screen televisions offer pay movies, satellite channels, and Internet access (surcharge) via wireless keyboards. Desks have high speed Internet connections (surcharge); other in room amenities include minibars, safes, and hair dryers. Marble bathrooms feature vividly coloured sink areas and come with bathrobes, slippers, and heated towel rails.

Approximately 400 metres from the hotel, the Cannaregio District north of Rialto Bridge remains home to Venice natives and restaurants serving authentic Venetian fare, as well as long walks along canals wider than those in San Marco.
