Sleeping in a historical building enhances the experience. Palazzo Morosini de-gli Spezieri, is a 15th-century Palazzo located close to the Frari Church and the Rialto Bridge. An early occupant of the building was Domenico Morosini who brought back to Venice as spoils of the Fourth Crusade the famous gold-plat-ed Quadriga horses, which can be found above the main entrance to St. Mark’s Basilica. Despite its change of ownership, the palace kept its original name, and the suffix “degli Spezieri” was added to better qualify the most glorious time of the Morosini dynasty: the discovery of the Spice Route. Today, Palazzo Morosini proposes a stunning collection of nine self-catering apartments that incorporate in the aristocratic setting technologically advanced comforts, accessible through a lush garden flanking the canal.
