The Palazzina Grassi is a Venetian home converted from its aristocratic past to become an hotel. The conversion project is the work of French designer Philippe Starck. The project was created for [Design Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/powerhouse-company) hotel brand.

Some of the [luxury features of the 26-room hotel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rocco-forte-house) include marble and mirrored glass tables, transparent glass wardrobes, and a rain-head shower.

Did I mention mirrors?

Apparently, mirrors are everywhere: One guest wrote, “Mirrors everywhere in the bedroom. Seriously. All four walls and on the wardrobe.”

Sounds like a narcissist’s dream.

Cost: $500-$1200/night
