The Best Luxury Hotels in Venice, Honestly Ranked

A whole island in the lagoon, where Matteo Thun turned a century-old sanatorium into a 266-room resort: outdoor pools including one on the roof, a kids club, a lagoon-view spa, olive groves, four restaurants and a cooking academy, with meeting rooms and a business center, and a free shuttle boat to San Marco, about twenty minutes away. Our family pick, and the best-value Venice redemption on Marriott points.

A 16th-century palazzo near the Rialto run as a private palace: 24 rooms, gilded piano nobile salons under Tiepolo frescoes, two of Venice's very few private gardens and arrival by the palazzo's own water gate. Three MICHELIN Keys, and our first pick for a milestone trip for two; the Alcova Tiepolo Suite is the room to spend on. We book it through our concierge desk.

Giuseppe Cipriani's 1958 hotel across the lagoon from San Marco, five minutes by the hotel's launch: the Casanova Gardens, what Belmond calls the largest pool in Venice, a Dior Spa and the reimagined Oro restaurant since spring 2026, family rooms and babysitting. Three MICHELIN Keys and Forbes Five-Star; couples wrote 63% of its recent reviews and families 25%. Closed for the season now, it reopens on 1 June 2027.

The 15th-century home of Doge Andrea Gritti, on the Grand Canal facing Santa Maria della Salute: 82 antique-filled rooms, the Club del Doge restaurant, a spa and a canal-side terrace where a couple can watch the gondolas at dusk. Two MICHELIN Keys; the most historic hotel in Venice you can book on Marriott points.

A 16th-century palazzo of just 18 rooms, steps from the Grand Canal yet secluded and quiet, with its own canal-front garden and GLAM, Enrico Bartolini and Donato Ascani's two-Michelin-star restaurant.

The brand's second hotel after La Minerva in Rome, opened in spring 2026 in the 15th-century Palazzo Donà Giovannelli: 41 rooms and 6 suites with Venetian Gothic bones and interiors steeped in the golden age of rail travel, a short walk from the Rialto. One MICHELIN Key in its first year; its suites of up to 145 square meters make it a couple's address in the quieter north of the city.
