InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) has announced the signing of its first InterContinental hotel in Venice – InterContinental Venice – Palazzo Nani.
The hotel will operate under a franchise agreement with Cordifin Group and H.n.h Hotels & Resorts Management and open at the beginning of 2018.
The building will be converted from a 16th century palace into an intimate 51-room InterContinental hotel. The palace’s handpainted alfresco ceilings and hand-carved wooden beams will be restored to their original beauty to preserve the building’s rich history.
The hotel will feature a wellness centre, modern meeting facilities and Club InterContinental Lounge.
InterContinental Venice – Palazzo Nani will lie on the Cannaregio Canal which connects to the Grand Canal at the epicentre of Venice’s vibrant island. Guests will be able to wander Venice’s narrow windy streets to observe the city’s gothic architecture and renaissance art as well as visit its historical landmarks, including St. Mark’s Square and its Basilica, Piazza San Marco, the Doge’s Palace and the Rialto Bridge.
Robert Shepherd, chief development officer, Europe, IHG said: “We’re delighted to be partnering with Cordifin S.p.a to bring the first InterContinental hotel to Venice. It’s great to see momentum behind the brand continuing as we get set to celebrate its 70th anniversary this year. InterContinental Venice – Palazzo Nani will be a great addition to the InterContinental family, offering guests an unforgettable experience in a city loved by millions around the world.”
