In the 19th century, the palace was adapted to host the hotel Allbergo dell' Universo,[2][3] and for a short time it became the home of the famous soprano Toti Dal Monte and poet Robert Browning.

[4] In more recent times, the palace hosted the Union of Societies, one of the last gentlemen's clubs in Italy.

The façade on the Grand Canal is quite simple, with a rounded water portal in the center.

Each of the two noble floors—erected in different epochs but looking substantially the same—has nine round-headed openings, with the five central units joined to form pentaforas.

The building has a raised façade on its top part, terminating with a tympanum of two square single-light windows and a pair of large chimneys.
