Grand Canal luxury hotel featuring art, dining, spa, and butler service
"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
"Italy is home to three properties on this year’s list, including The St. Regis Venice, which secured the No. 12 slot thanks to what one reader proclaimed is the “exclusive and best location in Venice.” Another reader went further, describing the hotel's perch as a “magical setting, with perfect views over the Grand Canal.”" - Travel + Leisure Editors
"Opened in 2019 after a thorough renovation of the historic Grand Hotel Britannia, The St. Regis Venice managed to keep the mystique this waterfront address has held since 1895. 'Exclusive and best location in Venice,' said one reader. 'The service, rooms, food, and employees make this hotel the best in class. We loved it so much, we are going back this summer, too.' The staff was at the center of multiple rave reviews, and there’s no doubt the signature St. Regis butler service played its part — though general manager Patrizia Hofer is also 'truly wonderful in making her guests feel taken care of while staying at her hotel,' according to another reader. 'A wonderful luxury experience,' the same fan added." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"A Venetian luxury property that falls within the upgraded Marriott Bonvoy anniversary certificate ceiling (up to 85,000 points), cited as an attainable high-end option for that award tier." - Paul Rubio
