WHO WE ARE
Founded in 2007 by childhood friends Olivier Bon, Pierre-Charles Cros, and Romée de Goriainoff, later joined by Xavier Padovani in 2010. Experimental has redefined the hospitality industry by offering a unique and contemporary experience to a discerning clientele around the world.
Famous for introducing the cocktail bar culture to Paris, the group now operates not only cocktail bars but also wine bars, restaurants and, since 2015, hotels. Over the years, the destinations have multiplied, including European capitals such as Paris and London, as well as seasonal locations like Ibiza and Menorca in the summer or the ski slopes of Verbier and Val d’Isère in the winter. The group also has properties in Venice, New York, Biarritz, and the Cotswolds.
Our service philosophy is built around three core values: high-quality products, precision in execution, and warm, welcoming hospitality.
IL PALAZZO EXPERIMENTAL
Il Palazzo Experimental features 32 elegantly designed rooms and suites by Dorothée Meilichzon, as well as a large interior garden overlooking a peaceful canal.
The hotel has three beautiful entrances from the Canal Della Giudecca: one leading to the restaurant L’ Adriatica, one to the reception, and the third to the Experimental Cocktail Club, the group’s new signature bar following those in Paris and London.
