Certamente, Venice belongs on the bucket list and probably some of you reading these lines have already strolled through St Mark’s Square, stopped for a Bellini at Harry’s Bar or been to the pavilion show at the Biennale. But what about organising a party in the Serenissima? No? Eureka! We’ve found something. A hotel in a historic palazzo in the sestiere Cannaregio that can be booked for events.
A celebration in Venice…
Sounds like a wonderful plan, doesn’t it? The magic of the city doesn’t stop at Clooney, James Bond or Casanova, who are known to have celebrated here. Whether you’re wearing a wedding dress, a dinner jacket or a mask, you’ll have to find a reason yourself, and we already have the location. In a quiet and authentic part of the city in Cannaregio, a 16th century palazzo has been lovingly transformed into an art and design hotel with mid-century furniture, contemporary art and terrazzo floors. And the special thing about it: the Hotel Heureka can be rented as a whole.
None of the hotel’s ten rooms are the same. Each one has its own character, but the love for Venice can be felt in every one. Just like in the two Piani Nobili, where you can get together to chat and celebrate like in a Venetian living room. In the music room, there is a Blüthner grand piano waiting to be played to give the event a musical setting, perhaps with Monteverdi, Händel or Einaudi, depending on the theme? The private garden with its old trees is a special, peaceful retreat at Hotel Heureka.
Whether you invite just two or up to 100 guests is your own choice. Just as individual as the number of guests is the gastronomic offer with customised menus, drinks and cocktails. And perhaps you don’t even need a theme, a corporate event, a wedding or any other occasion. Venice itself is always worth a party, isn’t it?
