Venice, the floating city of Italy. Aman Venice is a luxury hotel that opened in June 2013. We will introduce you to Aman Venice’s rooms, facilities, and meals in detail. Please enjoy.
Arrival and Water Taxi Experience.
Let’s start at Santa Lucia Station in Venice. We took the Italian train to this station. Meet the Aman Venice staff at the station.
As we exit the station, we are greeted with a beautiful view of Venice. There is a water taxi stand. Take a water taxi from the station to the hotel. If we request a transfer to Aman Venice, the water taxi costs 310 EUR (337 USD) each way. This is inside the water taxi. Tissues and alcohol disinfectant are provided inside the water taxi.
It takes about 10 minutes by water taxi from the station to the hotel. This time, we took a water taxi from the Venice station, but we can also take a water taxi from the Venice airport. I think the experience of taking a water taxi to the hotel is very enjoyable. Venice has many small arched bridges that allow boats to pass under them.
The city of Venice is full of small shops and restaurants. The canal branches out, and there are many other boats running as well. Up close, the water in Venice’s canals is not very clean. After a while, we will enter a wide canal. This wide canal is called the Grand Canal. Aman Venice is a hotel located along the Grand Canal.
Aman Venice was originally the Palazzo Papadopoli, a palace built in the mid-16th century. The palace was built in the mid-16th century and then passed to the nobility. It was renovated in 2011 and opened as a hotel in June 2013. When we arrived at the hotel, we moved to the lobby. This is the lobby reception.
White statue. Could it be the aristocrat who lived there long ago? The interior of the lobby is luxurious. Before it was turned into a hotel, it was a mansion for aristocrats, so we can still see remnants of that in the lobby. Staying in a historic aristocratic mansion is a wonderful experience. After checking in at the lobby, we moved to the room.
We will take a look at the hotel facilities after going to the room. It’s a passage. It was originally a mansion for aristocrats, so it feels more like a home than a hotel. There is an electric elevator. The hotel has 5 floors. There are 24 guest rooms in the 5-story hotel. Some rooms have a canal view, while others do not.
Hotel Overview.
Unsurprisingly, rooms with a canal view are more expensive (more than 2,000 EUR per night, even in low season). We stayed in rooms that don’t have a view of the canal and are the cheapest (1,400 or 1,600 EUR per night, even in low season). The room number is 25. Unlock it with this key. By the way, it is an auto-lock type.
This is a one-room type room where the living room, dining room, and bedroom are integrated. The room measures 47 square meters (505 square feet). The rooms are large for a hotel in Venice.

It is written that Aman Venice was originally a palace in the 16th century. Exterior of the hotel. On the left is the top-of-the-line suite. The interior is luxurious.

The rooms around here are similar. These rooms have a view of the canal. The higher the suite, the larger the room and the more luxurious the interior. Move to the lobby (1st floor). The Aman Venice boutique is located on the first floor. Let’s take a look at the products. Colorful cups. Cosmetics. Aman has a skincare series called “Aman Essentials.”

This is between the buildings. At the top, we can see fashionable decorations and passageways. This is another garden.

There is a convenience store. Narrow waterway. Various hats and other items are sold. When we went outside the hotel, there were a lot of people. There is a hotel at the end of this narrow road.

This is the main staircase leading from the first floor to the second floor. The second floor is considered to be one of the piano nobile (main floors).

Arva Restaurant.
The hotel is impressive when seen up close. Move to the dining room on the second floor. The chandelier and frescoes are eye-catching. This room may be the most beautiful. This is an Italian restaurant named Arva. There are also restaurants with the same name in Aman Tokyo and Aman New York. At Arva at Aman Venice, we can dine on cuisine prepared by Michelin-starred chefs.

Final Impressions:
The road in front of the hotel. There are shops selling chicken and pizza. I haven’t had pizza this trip, so I’m going to have pizza. Margherita, 3 EUR (3.26 USD). Return to the hotel. After checking out, we kept our luggage and headed to the water taxi around 2 PM. We will return by the same water taxi we took there.
This time, I didn’t do much sightseeing as I wanted to stay at Aman Venice, but I would like to do some sightseeing if I have time. We return to Santa Lucia station while admiring the beautiful scenery of Venice. It takes about 10 minutes to get to the station. Go to the water taxi stand. The suitcase has an Aman Venice name tag attached to it.
Aman Venice name tag. It’s exactly the 10th anniversary. Charge details again. The price is 2,116 EUR (2,296 USD). The cheapest room in the low season costs 2,116 EUR (2,296 USD), so in the high season, the price will be about 1.5 times that amount. To Santa Lucia station. On the way back, we will take the Italian Bullet Train Italo.
When we book Italo’s upper class, we get complimentary lounge access. Drinks and snacks are available at the lounge. At 14:57, take the train to Milano Centrale Station. Italo is a cool train with red and black colors. Station platform. Italo has several classes, and vehicles are divided according to class.
This time, we are riding in a class called Club Executive, which is equivalent to first class. It is a seat with a cool design. This is the Club Executive vehicle. There are semi-private seats available. There is a luggage storage area. This time, we will use a semi-private room. There are 4 seats in a semi-private room. The seats face each other, making it a good option for families or friends to ride together.
It’s a semi-private room, so it has a door. Economic newspapers and Italo magazines. Equipped with an accessory compartment, USB port, and power outlet. Dining table. In an emergency, smash the glass of the window. Departure. Leaving Venice. Passing by other Italo trains. Alcoholic tissue.
Snack. Alcoholic drink. Paper cup. Meals are provided when we board during breakfast, lunch, and dinner times. Meal menu. This time, we boarded between 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM, so it was around the time when we couldn’t get food. We arrived at Milan Central Station in about 2 hours and 30 minutes. It was a comfortable train.
It’s a big train, and it’s impressive. After this, we are flying business class on Emirates Airlines and have already released a video. Finally, we will look back on my stay while watching the Aman Venice PV. It was a good experience to take the water taxi and go to the hotel. If you’re staying at Aman Venice, we recommend taking a water taxi to the hotel.
Water taxi transfers are available from Venice’s train station or Venice’s airport. The lobby and stairs were lovely. The second floor is one of the main floors, and the frescoes and chandeliers in the ballroom were spectacular. The rooms are spacious and designed for a Venetian hotel. If you have the budget, a room with a canal view is recommended.
However, even if you do not have a canal view, you can still see the canal from the main floor windows on the 2nd and 4th floors. The decor on the main floors (2nd and 4th) was especially nice. Three rooms on the third floor are used as a spa. The spa seems to be a good way to refresh. This hotel does not have a pool. The gym is also small and doesn’t have a lot of fitness equipment.
The food was OK, but I don’t think it was particularly good. This is a common feature of Aman Resorts. What’s great about staying at this hotel is that it’s originally a historic palace, and it’s in a great location in Venice. Staying at Aman Venice will be a memorable experience.
