Palazzo Rota
Venice, Italy
A historic residence in St. Mark’s Square has been reborn with six luxurious tourist apartments, now open to the public after a meticulous and respectful restoration project designed by Studio Marco Piva in collaboration with the Superintendence for Architectural and Landscape Heritage of Venice.
A 14th-century residence, protected by the local Superintendence and located just steps from St. Mark’s Square, has been restored to its former glory thanks to the passionate commitment of Pacini Group. Palazzo Rota – Luxury Apartments, nestled in the quiet Calle dei Fabbri, is a new gem in the Venetian hospitality scene, offering six luxury apartments designed for guests seeking refined and intimate experiences.
Originally built as a textile workshop, the building underwent numerous transformations over the centuries—becoming a glassworks, then a museum, and later a noble residence. Each transformation has left its mark, making this building a precious witness to Venice’s cultural heritage.
The name refers to the iconic stone emblem on the main façade facing St. Mark’s Square: a wheel symbolizing both the city’s industrious origins and the passage of time, in harmony with the waters that embrace Venice.
Thus were born six exclusive, intimate, and refined apartments—an homage to the soul of Venice—dedicated to guests who wish to experience the city in an innovative and cultured way, while enjoying an exceptionally privileged location.
“Offering the apartments of Palazzo Rota in the heart of St. Mark’s Square means giving our guests an exclusive and authentic experience. We believe that true luxury is born from respect for one’s roots: only by knowing and enhancing them can we create innovation that preserves the soul of a place,”— said Emidio Pacini, CEO of Pacini Group.
The residences, ranging in size from 50 to 80 square meters, are named after the islands of the lagoon—Murano, Burano, Torcello, Sant’Erasmo, Lido di Venezia, and San Giorgio Maggiore. The latter stands out for its private terrace, offering a breathtaking view of the rooftops and the bell tower of St. Mark’s.
The interiors, designed by Studio Marco Piva, tell the story of Venice through design choices that reinterpret its identity in a contemporary key. The geometric detailing draws inspiration from the Venetian architect Carlo Scarpa, featuring clean lines and refined three-dimensional compositions that pay homage to the master’s ability to blend formal rigor with material sensitivity. Fabrics and wallpapers by the historic Venetian company Rubelli—some derived from 17th-century patterns reimagined in a modern style—serve as a tribute to the city and its textile tradition, here transformed into a contemporary design language.
“Venice demands of those who design within it the utmost respect for a millennia-old history and a context unique in the world. In the Palazzo Rota project, every living space reflects this dialogue: interior design becomes a bridge between memory and modernity, where the charm of the past merges with the elegance and comfort of contemporary living.”
— Marco Piva, Co-Founder, Studio Marco Piva
Particular attention was devoted to preserving the building’s historical heritage, restoring and enhancing the original seminato (Venetian terrazzo) flooring in two apartments and reinterpreting preexisting elements, such as the glass portions of the internal staircase railing, transformed into a striking decorative screen at the entrance.
In this way, contemporary furnishings were created that unite memory and innovation.
Color plays a fundamental role in the Palazzo Rota project, characterizing each space with unique tones that extend up to the ceilings, creating immersive and enveloping environments. The wallpapers add a distinctive touch, reinterpreting the Venetian textile tradition.
The furnishings were conceived as self-standing pieces, positioned discreetly within the spaces in full respect of the building’s natural structure, enhancing the authentic beauty of the palace.
Each apartment, from the first to the fourth floor, offers the comfort of one or two bedrooms, an elegant living room with sofa bed, a fully equipped kitchen, and one or two bathrooms.
Palazzo Rota is the second Pacini Group property in Venice, following The Venice Times, recently incorporated under the Vignette Collection – IHG brand. This confirms Pacini Group’s ongoing strategy of steady growth and qualified expansion, pursued with passion and dedication.
