"Breaking from the city’s damask‑and‑gilding playbook, this 2019 reinvention of a vast U‑shaped complex in San Marco delivers contemporary polish with two canal‑facing facades and more balconies than any other hotel in Venice. Freshly refurbished rooms bring serious mod‑cons—tablet‑controlled blinds and lights, enormous flat‑screens—plus a plush spa and a compact, well‑equipped gym (a rarity in the center). Service is top‑tier yet pleasantly unfussy, and the terraces shine: a cozy garden and a glamorous waterfront setting for Gio’s, where tuna sashimi with bottarga or lagoon sea bass with aglio, olio e peperoncino pair beautifully with botanical cocktails as the sun dips behind Santa Maria della Salute and gondolas drift by." - Liam Hess
"Set in the former Grand Hotel Britannia where Monet once painted, the hotel now displays a 'Four Icons' glass portrait series and offers Monet Suites with artist residencies and custom works, making it especially appealing to art-focused travelers seeking Grand Canal views." - Jenn Rice
"A Grand Canal-facing hotel reborn from a historic 1895 property that blends art and luxury across 163 bright, light-filled rooms and suites—many with private balconies and cinematic canal views. The hotel emphasizes art, displaying works by Turner and Monet and contemporary installations by Ai Weiwei, and offers art-focused experiences such as an Arts Bar with cocktails served in custom Murano-blown glasses. Its waterfront entrance accommodates private boat transfers and it sits a short walk from Piazza San Marco, making for memorable canal-side moments like breakfast on the terrace at Gio’s as gondolas pass by." - Jennifer Flowers
"The stretch of Grand Canal frontage west of St. Mark's square hosts some of the city's most famously classic luxury hotels. The St. Regis, inaugurated in 2019, is a newly crowned queen among these, boasting more water-facing balconies than any other. If it's a close-up relationship with the superb basilica of Santa Maria della Salute you're seeking, this is the hotel for you. A massive pre-inauguration restoration removed traditional brocades and gloomy corners, clearly aiming to entice a younger, more culturally aware clientele by filling public spaces and suites with some excellent contemporary art, and a collection of pieces by top Venetian glass makers. Between the two canal-facing wings, a gorgeous garden is the perfect venue for aperitivi." - Sarah James, Anne Hanley
"Situated in what readers described as the “exclusive and best location in Venice,” the hotel was praised for its “magical setting, with perfect views over the Grand Canal.”" - Devorah Lev-Tov Devorah Lev-Tov Devorah Lev-Tov has been a travel, food, and drinks journalist for more than a decade, with bylines in publications like The New York Times, Vogue, and Bon Appétit, in addition to Travel + Leisure.
