On a quiet canal

Contemporary Venetian elegance

Tradition, design and elegance in the heart of Venice

The American Dinesen is a 4-star boutique hotel in the Dorsoduro district of Venice, also known as "The Art District", one of the quietest and most authentic areas of the historic centre. With a view over the picturesque San Vio Canal, just a short walk from the Grand Canal, it provides a magical and welcoming atmosphere, away from the hustle and bustle of the crowds, yet at the same time offering a strategic location for visiting Venice's most famous sights, such as St Mark's Square, the Rialto, the Accademia, and major museums including the Guggenheim Collection, Palazzo Grassi and Punta della Dogana.


The American Dinesen is the ideal choice for those seeking a quiet, central and authentic stay, with easy access to museums, art galleries and the Grand Canal.
