Santa Croce 245 Giardini, Venice, Italy, 30135 Original Property Opened in 1834 Historic Hotels Worldwide member since 2018Hotel Papadopoli Venezia - MGallery is a lovely romantic getaway hidden within the heart of Venice. Romance is part of the hotel’s very essence. When the entrepreneurial Count Spiridione Papadopoli purchased the building during the early 19th century, he transformed it into a beautiful palace for his young wife, Teresa Mosconi. Papadopoli also constructed a delightful park adjacent to the building, known as the Papadopoli Gardens. For many years thereafter, Papadopoli and Mosconi hosted dozens of resplendent, romantic parties on the grounds for the affluent in Venetian society. However, during the 20th century the count sold the location to the city of Venice, who later tore much of the garden down for a new canal. The city also transformed the palace into a municipal building. Around the same time, hoteliers built a hotel on what remained of the Papadopoli Gardens, continuing the legacy of Count Papadopoli and his wife.
