Splendid Venice - Starhotels Collezione

About us

Just a few steps from some of the world’s greatest sights, Splendid Venice is a charming luxury hotel, as elegant as Venice itself. In the sixteenth century, it was an inn; today, it is a residence of rare refinement overlooking the canals and the Mercerie, the age-old streets, or calli, that link Piazza San Marco and the Rialto bridge. The sun sets on the Bridge of Sighs / the Ponte dei Sospiri . The gondolas glide by at the window. The old cafés in St Mark's Square /Piazza San Marco fill with life. A stay at the Splendid Venice offers this and so much more, with an atmosphere as intimate as a stately home, with spaces created for conversation, relaxation and contemplating Venice in all its splendor, in all its hidden corners. After a day exploring the countless wonders of this unique city, Splendid Venice is the ideal refuge; cosy, welcoming and, above all, suffused with warm, authentic, impeccable Italian hospitality. With a private mooring for boats, the hotel nestles in a central yet quiet location just a short stroll from some of the city's iconic landmarks. The 165 rooms and suites offer Venetian elegance at its finest. Many vaunt wonderful views over the canals and rooftops, the bell towers and the ""altanas"", typical Venetian terraces. All have luxurious, refined furnishings and exquisite details, where silver, brown and lilac set the tone for the wallpaper and damask designs that evoke the Serenissima’s textile tradition. Le Maschere restaurant promises a gourmet experience with an array of authentic Venetian recipes to savour. The spacious meeting room accommodates up to 35 people in a relaxed, private setting for high-level events and meetings. From the Les Clefs d'Or Concierge to the 24-hour room service, from the tranquil library to the chic altana, all our services are carefully crafted to make your stay unforgettable. Splendid Venice stands in the heart of Venice, in a quiet yet central area near the city’s main landmarks and many hidden gems. The private mooring for boats, a real ""water entrance"" on Rio dei Baretteri, is within walking distance – or a short gondola ride – of the city’s most impressive destinations, such as St Mark's Square and the Rialto Bridge. This sublime setting, immersed in the peace of the calli and canals, offers guests a rare privilege: the frisson of discovering all the real beauty of Venice, beyond the clichés and away from thronging crowds.
