An Italy-based insider told The U.S. Sun this week: "Jeff and
"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.
