“I’m very proud to be the General Manager of Aman Venice and grateful to the city that welcomed me with open arms. Built on water and synonymous with romance, Venice is famed for its canals, the largest of which – the Grand Canal – winds its way through the heart of the city. Lining this historic thoroughfare are more than 170 gracious buildings, including the regal 16th-century Palazzo Papadopoli in which Aman Venice is housed. Presenting 24 guestrooms and suites, many with picturesque views of the Grand Canal, and a breathtaking piano nobile, the hotel also offers two private gardens, a rather unusual feature in the floating city. Unique architectural and artistic details by masters such as Tiepolo and Sansovino showcase the palazzo’s storied past and even after almost two years spent at Aman Venice I keep discovering new details that astonish me.”
