The Best Hotels in Venice, From Five-Star Grande Dames to Design Boutiques | Vogue

"A family‑owned jewel box opened in 2024, this 32‑room haven spreads across four interlinking buildings and genuinely feels like a home away from home. Through diamond‑paned windows you’ll spy gondolas gliding by; inside, taupe‑and‑cream walls hung with a mix of Baroque portraits and contemporary art glow under 1950s Murano chandeliers that set the terrazzo sparkling. Despite its perch just off a busy thoroughfare, it’s a peaceful haven with a devotion to Venetian craft—Rubelli textiles and Lunardelli‑made wardrobes—matched by standout, thoughtful concierge service that can snag hot tables or arrange visits to artisans whose work you’ve admired around the hotel. Book one of nine tables at Il Piccolo for subtle, meticulously executed riffs on Venetian fare and lagoon flavors." - Liam Hess
