An Italy-based insider told The U.S. Sun this week: "Jeff and Lauren have booked the Grand Canal Suite, the biggest they have, and it's the talk of the hotel.
"The room is spectacular and even has access to a rooftop terrace overlooking the city.
"The wedding is set to be a huge affair and the Kardashians are also said to be staying at the hotel, along with other high-profile guests.
"It's a spectacular palazzo that's the most exclusive hotel in Venice.
"The Aman hotels are very 'if you know you know' within a certain set - keeping them above a Four Seasons or a Belmond in the world of luxury.
"They're both lavish and quiet luxury at the same time."
It's unclear whether the hotel suite is for Sanchez for the night before the wedding, or where they will stay after the ceremony.
The U.S. Sun has reached out to the couple's rep for comment, along with the Kardashians.
Bezos also has a megayacht for guests, and the exact venue of the wedding is yet to be confirmed.
Luca Zuin, spokesperson for the mayor of Venice, told media the three-day celebrations will run from June 24 to 26.

The U.S. Sun can confirm the dates are booked out on the Aman Venice website.
The source went on: "The hotel goes back to the 16th century and has been beautifully maintained and restored.
"Every detail of the hotel has been thought out from the privately secure entrance [buzz for entry, or arrival via private boat], to the service and staff."
"The design is breathtaking leaning into classic Venetian with elements of Aman's southeast Asian roots in the garden.
"Once you go up the main staircase you see how opulent it really is - there's almost an air of mystery.
"It's truly above and beyond and Jeff and Lauren will have the best day of their lives."
The hotel has a restaurant, Avra, along with a luxury spa.
George and Amal Clooney had their intimate star-studded wedding at the hotel in September 2014.
It was also the venue for Dolce & Gabbana's striking 2021 Alta Moda show which took over the city and saw Jennifer Lopez arrive on a gondola.
Local media also claimed guests will also be staying at The Gritti Palace, another palazzo built in the 15th century.
Bezos popped the question with a $2.5 million 20-carat ring and the pair hosted a decadent engagement party on their megayacht in Positano, Italy, in August 2023.
The groom-to-be, whose estimated net worth is $212 billion, reportedly placed the ring under her pillow before Lauren found and opened the box.
She later told Vogue that she "blacked out a bit" during their proposal due to her excitement.

Sanchez has revealed that she has chosen her dress, believed to be from Oscar de la Renta, and will be styled by Vogue boss Anna Wintour.
Celebrities who were sent invites for the wedding include Kim Kardashian, Oprah Winfrey, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Orlando Bloom and his fiancee, Katy Perry.
TMZ has also claimed Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, as well as Karlie Kloss and her husband Joshua Kushner, are invited.
President Donald Trump has also been invited after Sanchez and Bezos had front-row seats at his inauguration in January.
It's truly above and beyond and Jeff and Lauren will have the best day of their lives."
Italy-based source told The U.S. Sun
The exact venue where the couple will tie the knot is still to be confirmed.
The pair began dating in 2019 but avoided being seen together until finalizing their respective divorces.
Bezos and his ex-wife, MacKenzie Scott, made their split official in April 2019, after more than 25 years of marriage.
Meanwhile, Sanchez and her ex-husband, Patrick Whitesell, settled their divorce in October 2019, after 13 years together.
She has previously said that Bezos inspires her "every day," and makes her a better person.
Meanwhile, the entrepreneur has told reporters: "Lauren is the most generous, most big-hearted person that you would ever meet… She never misses a birthday.
"The network of people that she gives birthday presents to is gigantic. And that's just a small example."

Holly Hagan blasts Geordie Shore bosses for ‘lack of duty of care' and shares regrets over show
She got candid about her stint on the MTV show in a new social media post YOUNG & NAIVE Holly Hagan blasts Geordie Shore bosses for 'lack of duty of care' and shares regrets over show HOLLY Hagan has blasted Geordie Shore bosses for 'lack of duty of care' and shares regrets over show She was just 18 years of age when she joined the iconic MTV show, with her now saying how she "could have done with some duty of care/ welfare" on her first filming session. 5 Holly Hagan shot to fame on Geordie Shore alongside Charlotte-Letitia Crosby, Vicky Pattison and Sophie Kasaei Credit: Getty - Contributor 5 Holly can be seen above in 2012 Credit: Getty - Contributor 5 Holly has now opened up about being young and impressionable when she first joined the show Credit: Getty - Contributor Taking part in a Q&A session on Instagram this week, the reality star, now 33, spoke about how she was "very young and naive" when she appeared on the show. Holly joined the reality show in 2011 before quitting at the end of 2016. "Do you have any regrets from Geordie Shore?" one fan asked Holly, Holly then replied to the fan and got very candid in he response. "I do regret the first night and wish someone had stepped in to stop the lads egging me on to keep downing shots," she said. She went on: "I'd never even drank a Jägerbomb before that. "Of course, I had my own mind and take responsibility for that but I was very young and naive at 18 and probably could have done with some duty of care/ welfare in that moment." The Sun has contacted Geordie Shore for comment. Holly, who has been married to footballer husband Jacob Blyth since 2022, has one son, Alpha-Jax (AJ), born in June 2023. During her Q&A this week, Holly said she was due to expand her family earlier this year, but tragically had a miscarriage. Geordie Shore star hits out at MTV after being 'fired' Somebody asked her if she wanted more children, to which she shared a picture of two positive pregnancy tests. Alongside the snap, she said: "Thank you. "And just because 90% of the questions are about when we're having another and I do get constant comments like 'AJ needs a sibling' and I'm like I KNOWW!! "I did want to speak about it at the time but didn't know how and didn't want any sympathy. Geordie Shore's Holly Hagan cosmetic surgery history in full Holly had her first boob job aged 18 at a cost of £4,000, which she paid for on finance. Less than a year later, she went from an FF cup to a GG cup. She said she 'looked at people like Katie Price' before committing to the surgery. In 2014, Holly got lip fillers and Botox which left her with what she called 'sausage lips'. Three years later she had a controversial Brazilian bum lift - where fat is liposuctioned from another part of the body and injected into the bum. Just a few months later and dissatisfied with the result, Holly flew to Turkey for a second BBL, which didn't go to plan. She paid £5k for the procedure - which costs around £15k in the UK - but said it wasn't worth it as she was left scared and covered in blood after the operation. A third BBL happened in January 2017 - meaning she'd had three operations in less than a year - but that 'made it worse' and was a 'really low time'. Holly's final surgery took place in 2019 where she had a boob reduction that took her from an FF cup down to a DD cup. She has since committed to achieving a more natural and healthier look. "(And still don't so please don't message lol) but we did miscarry in March." She added: "Just a reminder the be mindful when commenting saying 'when's the next' because how on earth would we know that." Holly and her husband Jacob met after she shot to fame on television. The pair met in 2017 and got engaged in 2019 during a trip to Ibiza. They then tied the knot three years ago, with the marriage ceremony featured on MTV. 5 Holly has majorly overhauled her appearance in recent years Credit: TikTok/@hollyhaganx

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley goes topless in racy snap as she enjoys lavish yacht trip around the coast of Italy with her fiancé Jason Statham and their children
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley went topless on a lavish yacht as she enjoyed a trip around the coast of Positano, Italy, with her fiancé Jason Statham and their children. The former Victoria's Secret Angel, 38, has been vacationing in the sun-soaked location for her model brother Tom's wedding to Noa. And as she travelled around the Gulf of Naples, Rosie was seen walking around the boat topless as Jason went for a dip in the sea. For their sea outing, the couple were joined by their daughter Isabella, three, and their son Jack, eight. The family spent some quality time together as they were seen enjoying some lunch together before they took a stroll on the beach. Jason shared the snaps to Instagram and flaunted his connection with the luxury service company Meros. The family have been staying at five-star hotel Villa Treville, which boasts stunning views of the Amalfi Coast. Rooms start at £3,416 per night, which makes it a luxury place suitable for the stars. The high-profile couple seemed to enjoy some special family time together during the summer holidays. Rosie and Jason have been together since 2009 and though he is best-known for his action films, he also had an impressive athletics career. The model revealed they had taken their relationship to the next level when she flashed her impressive diamond ring at the 2016 Golden Globes The model, who grew up in Devon, recently revealed why she returned to the UK in 2020 and explained that it was always 'the plan' to raise her children in the UK. She told The Times: 'We love the schools, the education. They're growing up British with their little British accents, which was important for us, and we have a great support system here. 'Jay's parents live up the road and see the kids most days, my family come to visit every six or eight weeks.' For their sea outing, the couple were joined by their daughter Isabella, three, and their son Jack, eight Rosie also said her kids are having a childhood not dissimilar to her own, even spending large amounts of time in Devon where she grew up. The mum, who only shares the occasional snap of her children online, added: 'In the summer we go down to Devon and our children have the same experiences running around on the farm that I had growing up, and it's very special.' While the pair have been together since 2010, and despite getting engaged in 2016 and welcoming two children, they don't feel the need to take their relationship a step further just yet. According to a source close to the couple, they are on the 'same page' when it comes to their relationship - despite a notable age difference. 'Jason might be 20 years older than Rosie but they are on the same page with each other in so many aspects of their lives,' the source told 'Their love for each other, and their children is incredibly reassuring and something their friends look up to.'
