Luxury hotels, hotel suites and fine dining restaurants in Venice

Travel to Venice 

With its canals, narrow streets, gondolas and picturesque squares, Venice prides itself on being one of the most romantic destinations in the world. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the floating city has always fascinated writers, artists and poets, captivated by its unparalleled charm. Your stay in Venice will inevitably include St. Mark's Square, the beating heart of the city, with its Byzantine basilica, its Campanile and the Doge's Palace, one of the most emblematic expressions of Venetian Gothic. Not far from there lies the Teatro la Fenice, an unmissable temple of opera, where artists such as Rossini, Stravinsky, Bellini and Verdi once performed. The Rialto Bridge, the oldest in the Serenissima, spans the Grand Canal and is also a must-see, as is the Ponte dei Sospiri, which can be admired from the opposite bank before reaching the Castello neighborhood. There, you can stroll through the Napoleonic gardens, where the prestigious Venice Biennale partly takes place. Stroll through Dorsoduro, the part of town where you will find most museums and ancient noble palaces, and marvel at the works displayed at Ca' Rezzonico or the Gallerie dell'Accademia. On your trip to Venice, stop by the Palazzo Venier dei Leoni to see the Peggy Guggenheim collection, including masterpieces by Picasso, Mondrian, Magritte and Kandinsky. In between visits, be sure to take a seat in one of the bacari, or typical Venetian bars, to enjoy a glass of refreshing prosecco. Also take advantage of your weekend in Venice to visit the island of Murano, renown for its glassmakers, and Burano, famous for its brightly colored houses and lace crafts. 

Luxury hotels in Venice, a sweet escape along the canals 

Our luxury hotels in Venice embody the charms of the Serenissima. Housed in beautiful Venetian palazzi, they stand out through their excellent location in the heart of the city, just a few steps from its most prized monuments. Like Tchaikovsky and Jules Verne, be assured to appreciate the spirit of yesteryear that characterises our charming properties. The interiors are light and bright and recreate the atmosphere of the late 19th century with gold leaf on the walls, a reproduction of a 16th century art piece depicting the Venetian lagoon, Murano glass mirrors and Hungarian wooden-flooring. The rooms and suites of our 5-star hotels in Venice are also classic in style, with mahogany furniture, marble bathrooms and fabrics in a variety of colours and patterns inspired by the city's historic frescoes. Some rooms open onto the lagoon while others offer superb views of the city’s rooftops. The impeccable service is provided by our friendly and attentive staff. After a day of strolling through narrow streets and canals, there is nothing quite like having a drink on the terrace of your luxury hotel in Venice. 

Fine dining restaurants in Venice, traditional delicacies with a twist   

The Venetian culinary tradition has enriched the recipes of the countryside with oriental spices. In our fine dining restaurants in Venice, fresh fish from the Rialto market and vegetables from Sant'Erasmo are prepared by our passionate chefs, offering you refined dishes combining quality, simplicity and creativity. From a terrace overlooking the lagoon or under the sumptuous chandeliers of a room where you can peak on St. Mark's Square, enjoy reinterpretations of Venetian and other Italian classics. On the menu you can find for example, a shrimp cappuccino with mullet, octopus and sea urchin ravioli with squid ink sauce or a simple bruschetta with beef tartare and curly puntarelle. As for desserts, choose between a Millefeuille with orange cream, a Tiramisu with pistachio or a Feuilleté with black truffle, simply delightful.
