With a prized setting across the Grand Canal from the lively heart of historic Venice, this is the perfect choice for those seeking a spot away from the crowds, yet still within easy reach of all the city’s attractions. It's just a boat ride across the Grand Canal followed by a 10 minute walk from St Mark’s Square and within walking distance to attractions such as the Peggy Guggenheim Museum. Housed in a former convent that has retained its historic charm, the hotel has a Neo-gothic façade which belies its contemporary interiors. Classic Venetian touches add to the unique décor, from silk-lined walls to ornate mirrors and gold bathrooms. Dine on haute cuisine at the restaurant Antinoo’s and relax with a glass of wine in the secluded courtyard garden or the canal-side terrace.
As Venice’s only hotel to actually overlook St Mark’s Square, Hotel Concordia could not be better placed for sightseeing. Both cosy and intimate, Concordia has a refined elegance and a commitment to quality; it’s also been managed for four generations by the same family so you’ll get a warm welcome from the hotel’s staff. The traditional Venetian interiors, period furniture, marble or mosaic bathrooms and Murano glass chandeliers reflect the classic style and heritage of the 18th-Century building in which it is housed. At the hotel's lounge bar, you can enjoy cocktails, snacks and traditional Venetian aperitifs in front of views overlooking the Basilica.
Set in the heart of historic Venice and adjacent to the Church of San Stae, this beautiful hotel blends an attractive mix of contemporary comforts with authentic Venetian heritage that has attracted illustrious previous tenants including the Mozart family and the King of Denmark. Tastefully restored and with unique access provided by a waterfront door, the hotel is well appointed for exploration of the main sights of Venice yet offers an oasis from the city’s lively centre. Walk to St Mark’s Square, explore the lively Rialto area or enjoy a classic gondola ride along the canal before relaxing in the hotel’s tranquil interior garden. Some of the elegant rooms overlook the magnificent Grand Canal.
This former nobleman’s palace has been carefully restored and converted into a charming hotel with just 26 rooms. This sensitive reinvention has allowed the hotel to retain the feel of an elegant and comfortable private residence. It is set between the Ponte di Rialto and the Ponte dell'Accademia and has a private pier on the Grand Canal – imagine arriving in style by water. The inviting breakfast room combines original wood panelling with silk wall coverings and big picture windows overlooking a canal. The cosy lounge overlooks the Grand Canal and is perfectly placed for watching life on the water while sipping a cocktail.
You don’t have to be in the heart of Venice to truly appreciate its beauty. Sometimes it’s better to enjoy a little time away from the crowds but still easily pop over to the city when you want. This Belmond hotel, which is located on the island of Guidecca, gives you just that. There are very few, if any hotels that have a pool in Venice due to size and the nature of the city; the Belmond hotel has an Olympic sized pool in its extensive grounds. And as you laze waterside, attentive hosts will be on hand to cater to your every whim whether that’s a refreshing drink or a light snack. There are also plenty of shaded spots to head to in the gardens, some with beautiful views out over the water, and there’s even a tennis court in the grounds. The interiors are pretty special too with one-of-a-kind antiques furnishing grand spaces, dark wood accents and light-filled lounges. The rooms and suites all have exquisite classical design and sumptuously comfortable fittings. They have views of either the gardens or the lagoon and some even look over towards St Mark’s Square over the water – definitely our favourite rooms. Some rooms such as the Garden View Room, the Lagoon View Junior Suites and the Garden Suites feature a small balcony or terrace. Each morning you can spend a while in bed before heading down to the dedicated breakfast room to make the most of an extensive buffet. Lunch is a casual affair and takes place at the al fresco Cip’s Club which has a deck over the water and Venice City views. This restaurant is also open for dinner and is one of the city’s most romantic spots for a dinner ‘per due’. The Michelin-starred Oro Restaurant is the hotel's delightful waterside setting; open only for dinner, the restaurant's design is sublime with a gold-leaf gilded ceiling and a striking glass chandelier.
In artsy Dorsoduro – home of the Peggy Guggenheim collection and the floating gallery of Fondazione Emilio e Annabianca Vedova – this renovated 16th-Century palazzo sits behind the famous domed church of Santa Maria della Salute. Just a short hop on a vaporetto to the lively crowds of St Mark's Square, this tiny residence is exceptionally exclusive, hidden in one of Venice's most tranquil quarters. Set just off the famous Grand Canal, a private water entrance masterfully hides this grown-up boutique bolthole from any prying eyes. Decadently eclectic and indulgently detail-rich, this retreat is one of Venice's most romantic hotels. Step off the hotel's private mooring deck and you're instantly enveloped into its inspired retro-chic design. Floating couches perch deceptively above internal lit-up waterways in reception, while an exposed brick lounge impresses with its snug design and enticing canal-level views. For alternative views of the Salute's Basilica, head to the saffron hues of the Moroccan Terrace – an exotic open-air courtyard which can double up as a delightful open-air breakfast setting on request. Head upstairs to find an eclectic mismatch of rooms and suites, each one a discreet nod to the city's rich history and heritage. For an original take on classic Venetian style, subtle golden tones complement the dark wood furnishings in the hotel's smaller Deluxe Rooms. For a room with a statement, head to one of the hotel's five Concept Rooms, each one a creative blend of decadent colours and a unique theme or design. On the top floors, the two lavish suites look over superb views of Venice's rooftops. Choose Suite 336 for an original in-room bath, or opt for the furnished terrace in Suite 339, which offers a gorgeous private view of the Salute's domes.
