Trip Advisor RatingPowered By TripAdvisor
L.V.X.

With stunning views of the city's famed canals, Splendid Venice Venezia - Starhotels Collezione is as much a journey through Venice's history as it is the hotel's. Weaving together two 16-century townhouses to create a single, masterful property, the hotel features historic throughout, including the intimate, old-world Levantine parlors that make up the lobby, while rooms and suites have been reimagined to evoke classic Venetian glamour with a modern edge. Centrally located off a quiet canal steps from St. Mark’s and the Rialto Bridge, the hotel offers guests the relaxed laid-back atmosphere of a private residence with the service of a luxury property. Highlights of the hotel include:

  • 165 rooms and suites, some with panoramic balconies offering stunning views
  • A top-floor terrace offering sunset drinks overlooking the city's tiled rooftops
  • A glass-roofed, sun-dappled courtyard restaurant serving traditional Venetian dishes
  • Easy access to the city’s waterways with gondola rides from a private dock

Admire unparalleled views of the city from the rooftop, before venturing out onto the canals. Once you’ve finished exploring, contemplate the waterways from your room or while sampling authentic Venetian fare at the in-house acclaimed restaurant, Le Maschere.

Pretty good overall

The staff was friendly and the location was good. The room was tired and outdated and we had a connecting room with our kids, but if you wanted to have the door between the rooms open, you couldn’t turn off the light in the hallway at night. The white plumbing fixtures had some yellowing and staining. I’m assuming that is minerals in the water, but it didn’t feel very luxurious. I would probably look for a different hotel next time, but there was nothing wrong with the place and I think that lowering expectations a notch when in Venice is probably a good plan.

Great hotel in a fantastic location. We stayed in a family room (2 beds and 2 bath), which was perfect for our family of four. Room was very clean, with ample room and only downside was kids room had better view of a side canal. Service was outstanding from the front desk, to housekeeping and especially Ali. Venice is a great walking city and hotel location can't be beat.

Smiles greeted us from the time we stepped in till the time we left. Rooms were tastefully appointed with beautiful baths! The location in San Marco could not have been more perfect. We had a daily breakfast included with our rate which was fantastic. Please look for Khan in the restaurant as he made each day special for us. More than a waiter.. a new friend. Thank you Hotel Splendid!

Splendid, indeed!

Spent two nights at Splendid Venice, which lived up to its name! Our water taxi was able to dock at the door, and we were welcomed into old-world charm by friendly staff. Public areas were nicely appointed. Our room was spotless and comfortable, and very quiet, although it faced the canal. Ports and outlets were thoughtfully placed, and wi-fi was good. Of note, the location was excellent—steps from some great restaurants and shops, and very close to the square. Altogether a grand stay!
