A romantic city par excellence, Venice can be visited and revisited without ever becoming boring. Discover the most beautiful hotels in the City of the Doges, with their princely atmosphere and old-world Italian charm.
Londra Palace Venezia
Since 1853, the Londra Palace Venizia has stood as one of the finest hotels in Venice. Situated on the banks of the Grand Canal, just a stone’s throw from San Marco, this five-star hotel, which has also been awarded the Relais et Châteaux label, has recently been given a facelift. The 52 rooms and suites are seductive, elegant and modern, with fine Italian fabrics and Venetian materials such as brocades, silks and precious woods, as well as bespoke furniture and marble and mosaic bathrooms. On the city’s highest terrace, called Altana, overlooking the lagoon, or in the refurbished interior space with a new bar and gourmet restaurant by chef Daniele Galliazzo, you can enjoy perfectly executed Italian dishes, accompanied by a fine cocktail and wine list.
Aman Venise
Occupying the Palazzo Papadopoli, one of eight XIVᵉ century palaces in the city, the Aman Venice is as sensual as it is sumptuous. Thought up by Jean-Michel Gathy, the decor is contemporary and free of unnecessary frills, simply magnified by period architecture and rococo works of art. The 24 rooms are just as sublime, with high ceilings, frescoes by renowned Italian artists, luxurious chandeliers and detailed fireplaces. All in elegant colours, with views of the Grand Canal from most of the keys. A truly princely Italian experience. The ultra-premium experience of this five-star hotel continues in the Italian restaurants L’Arva and Palazzo Kitchen Table, and in the bar under an original Rotta fresco. Not stopping there, the Aman Venice is also home to one of the city’s finest spas. The rooftop offers an equally exceptional panorama, ideal for a romantic weekend for two.
