Palazzo Keller is located in a 15th-century palace just steps from Piazza San Marco. This central location allows guests to easily access Venice's main cultural and historical attractions. The hotel stands in the San Marco district on Calle del Pestrin, a captivating area rich in local heritage.

Rooms and Suites

The hotel offers 19 rooms and suites, each displaying the Italian art of living through handcrafted elements. The Royal Suite showcases original inlaid wooden floors, while the Suite Affresco features a meticulously preserved fresco from over two centuries ago. Rooms include luxurious elements such as Murano glass chandeliers and Rubelli wallpaper, ensuring a refined experience.

Dining

On the main floor, the Lord Byron lounge bar provides an array of innovative drinks and selected wines. Guests can enjoy a relaxing atmosphere in the bar, complete with velvets and marble reminiscent of early 1800s dandy style. Outdoor seating in the garden depandance offers an enjoyable option for sipping beverages surrounded by nature.

Palazzo Keller was once the residence of the Keller family and served as the honorary Swiss consulate in the early 1900s.

Decent Hotel, but Room Issues

small bathroommissing closet

The room was not ideal. I found that it lacked some important features. There wasn't a closet or dresser. This meant I had to keep my clothes on the daybed. Also. The bathroom felt small and didn't offer much space for my things.
