The hotel occupies two connected buildings with markedly different architectural languages: an 18th-century Venetian palazzo facing the Grand Canal, and a mid-20th-century wing built in a more austere, Rationalist style.
This pairing is unusual for Venice, where most historic hotels expand by acquiring and connecting to further old buildings rather than adding new construction -- the contrast between the two wings is part of what distinguishes the hotel's interior from its more uniformly historic neighbors.
