In 1748, the palace came to hands of the Tiepolo family.
The palace changed hands during 19th century from Valentino Comello in 1837, whose wife Maddalena Montalban was jailed by the Austrians for a year; to Bartholomäus von Stürmer, Austrian general and diplomat; in 1864 to rich bankers and counts of Greek origin Niccolò and Angelo Papadopoli. The later bought a lot of adjacent buildings to create the large garden with a wing behind it. The family hailed from Corfu and had entered the patriciate in 1791. Between 1874-1875, it housed Girolamo Levi, who along with Michelangelo Guggenheim and Cesare Rotta completed a Neoclassical refurbishment with gardens.[8][9] Rotta frescoed the ballroom. In 1922, it was inherited by the family of Arrivabene Valenti Gonzaga. The palace was converted into an ultra luxury hotel run by Aman Resorts, named Aman Venice. It opened in 2013 and was the first Amanresort in Italy. It is widely regarded as the best hotel in Venice.
