The hype
Impeccable location and stunning design, but service can be slow and the price-to-size ratio shocks first-timers.
The St. Regis Venice
$950-1,600+ / nit
Reserva-ho si You want the Grand Canal views of the Gritti Palace but prefer modern art and stiff cocktails over antique velvet and silence.
Per Què Agrada Tant
- The rare, massive garden terrace right on the Grand Canal
- Modern, bright interiors that don't feel like a museum
- The 'Santa Maria' Bloody Mary at the St. Regis Bar
Vista ràpida: A stunningly renovated modernist palace where you pay a premium to hear gondoliers sing 'Volare' from your balcony.
Revisat per @Travelsum: I stayed here for a romantic getaway and it blew my mind. The breakfast on the terrace watching the Grand Canal wake up was the highlight of my trip. Honestly, the price is high but for a special occasion, it is completely worth it.

Reality check

- You want a scene-y outdoor bar for aperitivo
- You prefer crisp, modern luxury over dusty antiques
Neteja i Manteniment
9
- Housekeeping: Generally excellent twice-daily service, though turndown can sometimes be rushed or 'bodge job' style.
- Bathroom hygiene: Sparkling marble, but sensitive noses will detect a strong chlorine odor from the water.
- Maintenance: Immaculate renovation (2019), everything feels new and solid.
- Linens & towels: Frette linens, plush and heavy. Top tier.
- Odors & scents: Signature St. Regis scent in lobby; occasional canal funk outside (it's Venice) or chlorine inside.

Preguntes freqüents i consells amagats
Tot allò que realment vols saber abans de reservar.
Is breakfast included?
Rarely. Expect to pay around €52 per person for the buffet at Gio's unless you have Marriott Platinum+ status.
Is there a resort fee?
No specific 'resort fee', but watch out for the Venice City Access Fee on peak dates and the €125/night pet fee.
How do I get there from the airport?
Private water taxi is best (~€120-150, 45 mins). The hotel has a private dock. Alilaguna public boat is cheaper but slower.
Is it kid-friendly?
Surprisingly yes, they offer 'Family Traditions' programs, but the vibe is definitely more 'adult cocktail hour' than 'playground'.
Can I hear the bells?
Yes, you are directly across from Santa Maria della Salute; the bells are atmospheric but loud.
Is there a gym?
Yes, a small Technogym fitness center, open 24/7. Functional but not a destination gym.

The 'Arts Bar' serves cocktails in custom Murano glass vessels—ask for the 'Silver Dreams'.

5 coses que cal saber abans de partir
💡The 'Venetian Suites' often have weird layouts with unnecessary doors that make them feel smaller.
💡The shower water can smell strongly of chlorine due to Venice's treatment systems.
💡You can hear the Vaporetto station announcements from some canal-side rooms.
💡The 'Butler Service' is hit-or-miss; sometimes they unpack for you, sometimes they just bring coffee.
💡The garden is one of the few places in Venice you can actually sit on grass (well, manicured turf).
