As an events agency, PREFERENCE EVENTS organises tailor-made events in Venice: an incomparable setting in Italy for conventions, seminars, VIP trips and prestige events.
A city of superlatives, Venice is a treasure trove of gold, marble and stone, built on 118 islands linked by more than 400 bridges. Its marvels can only be discovered on foot, by gondola or by vaporetto: Saint Mark’s Square and its basilica, the Doge’s Palace, the famous Rialto or San Giorgio Maggiore, the Accademia gallery… so many buildings representative of the power, at its height, of the ‘Serenissima’ and its architectural refinement.
But Venice has also become one of the world capitals of contemporary art, with the Gugghenheim Museum and François Pinault’s private collections housed in Palazzo Grassi and the astonishing Punta della Dogana building. Above all, its ‘Biennale’ attracts the most cutting-edge contemporary artists and hundreds of thousands of visitors every two years.
Baroque Venice or contemporary Venice, the ‘Serenissima’ will dazzle the guests at your corporate event with its beauty as much as its diversity. Alongside the traditional palaces, a number of luxury establishments (including a brand new 6-star luxury hotel!) have recently opened, often housed in Palazzi, adding a more modern touch to the Venetian hotel scene. They are the perfect setting for organising an exceptional event, a press trip, an awards trip, a VIP trip, an executive committee meeting or a prestigious seminar. As an events agency with a thorough knowledge of Italy, and Venice in particular, PREFERENCE EVENTS will devise and organise a tailor-made event for you (whether you are a company or an individual) that will reflect the image of Venice: unforgettable and magical!
With its legendary palaces (Danieli, Gritti, Cipriani…) the lakeside city is the destination par excellence for prestigious events reserved for small VIP groups or executive committees. However, the opening of the Molino Stucky Hilton hotel, which is more affordable and has a fairly large capacity, means that Venice is now an option for corporate events such as seminars, incentive trips, conventions and general meetings…
Venice is THE exceptional destination that you never tire of, and that will captivate you from the moment you leave the airport by boat. But excellence comes at a high price!
Accommodation in Venice
Along the Grand Canal, there are only small and medium-sized establishments reserved for the organisation of prestigious events such as board meetings, press trips or luxury VIP stays. Larger groups (seminars, conventions, general meetings) will be accommodated on more secluded islands or spread over several establishments.
The image of Venice is matched by sublime palaces: some traditional: the Danieli, the Gritti, the Westin, the Bauer (located along the Grand Canal), the Cipriani Belmond and the Regis San Clemente (located on nearby islands) and the Excelsior Palace, the legendary Lido hotel completely renovated in 2013. Exceptional new establishments have also been created: the Palazzina G with its Starck design and, above all, the 6-star Aman Canal Grande Venice, suddenly made famous by Georges Clooney’s wedding… All of these establishments are reserved exclusively for exceptional events and prestigious VIP trips.
The beautiful Hilton Molino Stucky 5*, 360 rooms, located on the island of Giudecca, 10 minutes from Saint Mark’s Square and housed in the astonishing brick buildings of an old industrial mill, is now open to large groups for corporate events such as seminars, conventions and general meetings…
Some 4-star hotels, but of average capacity.
Numerous luxury and charming boutique hotels (often in palaces) for small groups (press trips and board meetings).
