The 66-room property will be located in a historical "ecclesiastical compound," which has hosted crusaders, pilgrims and tourists over more than eight centuries. Located on the Riva Ca' di Dio overlooking the Venetian Lagoon and adjacent to the Arsenal and the Biennale gardens, the property is within walking distance of St. Mark's Square. The hotel will be part of the V-Retreats collection, a new class of properties managed by Italy's VOI Hotels. A rendering of the Ca' di Dio hotel in Venice. The project was created by Spanish architect Patricia Urquiola and is being designed to resemble a Venetian mansion, with elements like Murano glass and custom finishes.
