Step through the doors of this restored palazzo in Cannaregio – where modern design and the architecture of the past meet
On a quiet backwater in Cannaregio, you could easily walk past the unprepossessing entrance to Hotel Heureka, a 16thcentury palazzo revived and reopened in 2017. Just round the corner from La Chiesa della Madonna dell’Orto (the parish church of Tintoretto, who is buried in the chapel), Hotel Heureka combines original 16th-century features and unique, colourful and luxurious interior design with great élan.
The ten bedrooms and suites, as well as the hotel’s public spaces, are richly decorated in an eclectic mosaic of styles so theatrical that each one seems to set its own stage. Contemporary design, luxe furnishings, sumptuous fabrics and quirky touches catch your eye at every turn. Think four-poster beds, lavish Lacroix textile bedheads, Rubelli brocade silk drapes, freestanding baths, and Julian Khol commissioned art.
