Baglioni Hotel Luna

My husband and I only had a couple of days to spend in Venice, so we wanted to stay close to St. Mark's Square. The Baglioni Hotel Luna is a gem just a few steps from St. Mark's Square. The hotel is 900 years old, but you would never know it. It is luxurious. It is a combination of artistic decor, Murano glass, and modern conveniences with everything in working order. We booked a Deluxe King room. Our room (#106) and the bathroom were spacious. The bathroom was very modern, and I liked the extra touch of the heated towel warmer. The breakfast room is beautiful and the buffet has everything you could want. Before we arrived I emailed their Concierge desk and received a reply within minutes. We were very impressed with the entire staff at the hotel - very friendly, efficient and made you feel welcome. Transportation from VCE airport: The Alilaguna water transport is very inexpensive. It is about a 55 minute ride from VCE airport. If you take the Alilaguna to the hotel, buy a ticket for the Blue/Red line. You exit at the San Marco Giardinetti stop. It is a very short walk (maybe 5 minutes or less) to the hotel. You do have to carry your bags over one arched bridge. You can buy an open ended roundtrip ticket for a discount. I would guess if you contact the hotel, they may send a porter to help you if you have a lot of luggage. My husband and I travel light so this was not a problem for us and we are in our 70s. There is a photo on the hotel website of a rooftop deck. Well....I thought this was a place to have a nice relaxing drink and views of the Grand Canal. NO - it is the private deck for anyone who books the 5th floor terrace room. But that does not take away from the wonderful stay we had at the Luna. Thank you to the staff at the Luna. We really enjoyed our stay.

We have visited Venice numerous times over the years and usually stay at another 5 Star hotel on the Grand Canal, but that hotel was unavailable for our dates. The Baglioni is in a very convenient location and the staff was nice enough and professional, however I'm afraid we will probably not stay there again. It's hard to believe that it is still considered a 5 Star hotel and is listed as one of American Express' Fine Hotels and Resorts. The furniture and bathroom in our room have seen better days. In addition, the room had a musty/moldy smell, that made our stay less than enjoyable. The smell was slight when we first arrived and we just chalked it up to the smells of the Venice canals. But the first night it became overwhelming, to the point that we considered moving to a different hotel. The first morning we woke up to a construction crew working on an adjacent room. Of course, hotels need to be maintained and work must be done, but in the least we should have been warned. And to add insult to injury, the fire alarm went off 3 or 4 times that morning and it was apparently set-off by the same construction crew.

Impeccable location just 1 minute way from St Marks Square and yet so quiet and peaceful. Hotel had its own jetty right at its doorstep so it was a direct access from the water taxi. Room was decorated in gorgeous Venetian style and the shower was modern and very comfortable. Service was attentive and helpful. Breakfast was most enjoyable. Will definitely stay here again.

This is a high-end hotel with excellent concierge service. Everyone was very friendly, and the turndown service was very nice. They also have a great breakfast and a nice restaurant for lunch/dinner where you can eat outside. It is also located where you can go on a gondola ride or take a taxi to go to Murano or to the airport. Highly recommend.
