French hotel collection Airelles, has unveiled plans for its eagerly awaited new project, Airelles Palladio, Venice set to open its doors in Venice, Italy in April 2026. Airelles Palladio, Venice will mark Airelles’ ninth address – and the first outside France – in a collection revered for its exceptional French Maisons, including Le Grand Contrôle: the only hotel on the grounds of the Palace of Versailles.
“We are privileged to introduce our first property outside of France with the upcoming opening of Airelles Palladio, Venice” said Anne-Laure Ollagnon, CEO of Airelles. “The opening of this exceptional property is a landmark moment for our brand, and a magnificent addition to both our portfolio and to luxury hospitality in Venice. It is a great honour for Airelles to be the next custodians of this remarkable estate, and we look forward to curating some of the most incredible experiences for our discerning guests.”
Overlooking the canal with spectacular views of St. Mark’s Basilica and the Doge’s Palace, the property is uniquely positioned on a peaceful promenade. The hotel’s central building and entrance is the impressive Palladio which surrounds Santa Maria della Presentazione, a historic church adorned with two bell towers. These historic buildings were once a refuge dedicated to the protection of young unmarried women. Established in the late 16th century, the Palladio was designed by the famed architect Andrea Palladio, and will now enter a new era as Airelles Palladio, Venice. The Santa Maria della Presentazione church, a protected heritage site, is being lovingly restored to its former glory. Once the restoration is complete, Airelles Palladio, Venice will provide its guests with exclusive access and private tours of the iconic church.
