Splendid Venice - Starhotels Collezione

After two weeks of traveling, we were excited to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary and birthdays in Venice at Hotel Splendid. ||It reminded us of a favorite hotel in NYC that we’ve returned to time and again. Our room and sitting area was spacious and quiet, traditionally and classically furnished and just the sort of place to settle in for a perfect stay. The beautifully appointed marble bathroom with an ample sized vanity and steaming hot shower was refreshing. The restaurant was very good — both for breakfast and we had one evening meal of a delicious filet and sea bass. Room service is a plus! ||If you want to be close to everything, but enjoy a break from the bustling crowds, Splendid’s quiet luxury on a secondary canal is your place.

One of the Best Hotel Experiences I’ve Had in Italy 🇮🇹✨ After 10 trips to Italy, this was by far one of the most memorable stays. The room was not only beautifully designed but incredibly comfortable. What truly stood out, though, was the exceptional service. I’ve never encountered such warm and genuinely helpful staff — the concierge went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. We also tried the room service pizza, and it was a highlight: authentic, stone-oven baked, and absolutely delicious. A tip for future guests: I highly recommend arriving by water taxi. It adds to the experience and saves you the long walk with luggage from where regular taxis must stop. Thank you to the team for making our stay so special. I truly hope to return one day.

Our service was SPENDID! First time here and I was so impressed. This is a luxury hotel. Our baggage carrier was so nice to carry our luggage to our room and explain everything in great detail! He went above and beyond! Bravo! Staff were incredibly welcoming, helpful and kind! Whoever serviced our room did an amazing job! We had fresh towels every day even though we did not request it. Room service breakfast was lovely and tasty! We loved our room and how spacious it was. The AC in the room was great! Great short walking distance to the Basilica and San Marco bridge! Thanks to the Splendid team for an amazing stay!

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!

I recently stayed at Splendid Venice and while my trip ended on a high note, it didn’t start that way. I had booked and paid for a deluxe canal-view room, but when I arrived, the hotel insisted my reservation was for a standard room. After wasting time at the front desk and even missing a paid excursion while trying to resolve the issue, I was extremely frustrated. TripAdvisor support was useless in helping me, which only made things worse.||||The only reason it was eventually corrected was because I pushed hard with the hotel directly. To their credit, once the situation was acknowledged, the staff did upgrade me to a very nice room, and I thoroughly enjoyed the upgraded accommodations once I was settled in. The property itself is beautiful, the location is excellent, and the upgraded room was exactly what I expected from a hotel of this caliber.||||That said, it should never have taken that much effort to receive the room I had originally booked and paid for. While I appreciated the final resolution, the process left a lot to be desired.||||In short: a lovely hotel in the heart of Venice, but be prepared to advocate for yourself if something goes wrong with your reservation.

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!

Fantastic hotel in a brilliant location. Minutes walk from either Piazza San Marcos or Rialto bridge. Breakfast was excellent. Rooms very comfortable and housekeeping was excellent. The bar area is lovely looking right onto the canal. Staff are extremely helpful. Would love to stay here again.

Wonderful hotel - the staff were great and the rooms were more spacious by European hotel standards. They were incredibly helpful with helping us find a private tour guide and arranging a glass blowing demonstration in Murano. Location is incredible - great for us since we had 3 young kids in tow.
