Hotel Gabrielli reopens under Starhotels Collezione brand

Hotel Gabrielli reopens as a five-star destination after a transformation that reduced its key count from 105 to 66.

On August 25, 2025, the historic Venetian 19th-century palazzo reopens as a five-star hotel, restored to its former glory through meticulous conservation work. The renovation is said to enhance its historic and artistic value, preserved by the Perkhofer family for five generations, while introducing a contemporary dynamism that resonates with the expectations of today’s travellers.

"With Hotel Gabrielli, we complete a vision we have long held for Venice: to offer our guests two complementary yet distinct experiences in one of the world's most beautiful cities. After Splendid Venice, behind Piazza San Marco, we now bring our excellence to Riva degli Schiavoni," comments Elisabetta Fabri, Starhotels President and CEO. "Today, we open the doors to what we aspire to become Venice's new signature address. Here, guests won’t simply visit the city, they’ll experience it at its most luminous, from the lagoon’s most privileged vantage as part of an exclusive community.”

The renovation project of Hotel Gabrielli, led by designer Andrea Auletta, aims to blend Venetian tradition with contemporary sophistication. Hotel Gabrielli reopens as a five-star destination after a transformation that reduced its key count from 105 to 66, aiming to offer an elevated Venetian hospitality experience and including the grand Presidential Suite with a private rooftop altana terrace.
