Bauer Hotel

Bauer Hotel sits in Venice’s San Marco district, between the Grand Canal and the ceremonial pull of Piazza San Marco, a location made for arrivals by water and slow walks through the city’s most theatrical quarter. Founded in 1880 and now being renewed as Rosewood Hotel Bauer, it pairs a historic Venetian palazzo with a full contemporary restoration that keeps the building’s architectural weight in view. The planned accommodation favours suites and refined residential detail rather than spectacle, with views oriented toward the canal, rooftops and St Mark’s Basin. Dining is set to include a ground-floor restaurant and wine bar, a Venetian restaurant, and a rooftop bar with an altana terrace. A rooftop garden, wellness area and outdoor pool add rare open-air space in the dense fabric of central Venice.
