Palazzo Priuli ★★★★

This 14th Century palace may be the oldest one in Venice being used as a hotel . With only 12 guest rooms , it faces onto a small canal about 5 minutes walk from St . Mark ’ s Square . All furnishings are antique , and all lighting fixtures are from Murano . JDB clients are always given the largest rooms here . The palazzo itself is an excellent example of Gothic architecture with its mullioned windows and magnificent marble staircase , one of the first in Venice by the architect who later created the staircase in the Palazzo Ducale ! Around the corner is the Luna Sentada restaurant featuring Venetian cuisine , offering the same high level service as Palazzo Priuli .
