Hotel Bauer Palazzo
Last updated on September 13, 2026The Bauer occupies a prominent site between Campo San Moisè and the Grand Canal, combining a historic palace frontage with a twentieth-century modern wing. Opened in 1880 as the Grand Hotel d'Italie Bauer-Grünwald, it became one of Venice's best-known grand hotels.
The property is undergoing a multi-year renovation and is not currently operating as a hotel. Rosewood plans to reopen it as Rosewood Hotel Bauer, but no opening date should be assumed until the operator confirms one.
