Palazzo Cristo

Venice


This stunning palazzo offers three extravagant suites with eye-popping views of the Scuola Grande di San Marco. Despite dating to the 13th-century, the suites are exemplars of luxurious contemporary design, kitted out in exquisite materials and furnished with custom-made modern pieces. There's a concierge service, but you'll need to pop down to the square for breakfast.
