Aman Venice

What the classifiers highlight

A sixteenth-century palazzo directly on the Grand Canal, restored down to its Baroque and Renaissance details, holds just 24 rooms and suites; MICHELIN gives it three Keys, its top rank. The 2,800-square-foot garden is rare for central Venice, and Restaurant Arva serves dishes seldom found elsewhere in the city, among them chestnut-flour pasta and roasted eel.
