Floating gondolas, the chime of ancient church bells, and romantic piazzas make Venice such a treasured Italian destination. Splendid Venice, part of Preferred Hotels & Resorts and a member of the Preferred Hotel Group, was built during the 16th century. Located between St. Mark's Square and the landmark Rialto Bridge, this historic hideaway features 165 guestrooms. The hotel has been completely refurbished, maintaining a traditional Venetian presence coupled with contemporary appointments. Walls are cloaked in pearl gray with hand-painted wisteria accents. Lush velvets and cool silk textiles, which cover headboards and furnishings, add a most luxurious touch. The hotel's private docks jut out into the canals, allowing guests to disembark from gondolas and water taxis with ease.

Rooms are spacious but food and service is terrible. The lady at checkin was nice but rest of the staff seemed over worked and tired. The breakfast buffet was frozen food re-heated. Concierge could care less to help with any suggestions for restaurants options nearby. Will never stay here again!

Love this hotel. Currently here with my husband and I can’t say enough about the hotel and service. Room 112 is beautifully appointed and faces a canal. The pictures will speak for themselves! The bed is comfortable and they offer a pillow menu. The room is equipped a stocked mini-fridge, safe and flat screen Smart Tv. The bathroom is gorgeous and has a tub. The location is central near San Marco, but quiet so you can sleep at night. The hotel lobby and bar area are nice places to relax and have a drink. Shout out to Gianluca and Kevin who worked the bar and were great with us. Their drinks were delicious and they gave us great tips on Venice. The breakfast was typical European but also had pancakes! The dining room was large and spacious. I have already recommended Splendid to my friends and plan on staying here again when I return to Venice. Great job!

I wanted the perfect hotel in Venice for a romantic birthday weekend away. i could not have chosen a better hotel. It is stunning. The decor is gorgeous and we were upgraded to a suite which was amazing. Such a beautiful room overlooking the canal. The service is impeccable with everyone so friendly and helpful but very profesional. I booked the VIP transfer from the airport through the hotel and it was great. Very James Bond pulling up at the hotel's jetty. It was so good I did the same on the way back. I also arranged for some champagne and the 'Romance' package to be in the room when we arrived. The hotel put flowers in the room and left rose petals in a path to the bed with a big heart shape made of rose petals on the bed. The bed was also very large and very comfortable. Breakfast in bed is also to be recommended!! Location is perfect as it is a couple of minutes walk to either Piazza San Marco and the Rialto bridge with lots of great restaurants within walkng disance. I cannot recommend this hotel enough.

My husband and I came to Venice to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. We wanted to stay in a luxurious suite with 24-hour room service, and close to St. Mark’s Square so we could enjoy those dueling café orchestras in the lit-up square at night. We noticed many Venice hotel rooms were very small and had no room service (or elevators). We were thrilled when we found Splendid and happily booked the Presidential suite for 8 nights! Splendid exceeded our expectations. Salvatore Pisani, the General Manager, met us when we arrived and showed us around our beautiful suite. He was very friendly and kind. There was champagne and wine and fruit and treats waiting for us in our room. He even asked if we would like a Spritz, something we had said we wanted to experience when in Venice. Yes, please we said, and before we knew it two Spritz were brought up to our suite. They were very delicious and refreshing and we couldn’t help sipping more of them during our trip. Our king size bed was very comfy and our suite on the 5th floor was very quiet. I loved the beautiful marble bathrooms, the shower had great water pressure and the towel warmers were a nice touch. I’d never used a bidet before, but now I want one in my bathroom, too. Most mornings we had breakfast served in our room or on our private terrace. Fluffy scrambled eggs, bacon or sausage, delicious croissants and fruit, oh and the best illy coffee ever! Everything was delicious and a great way to start the day! Throughout our trip there were fruit baskets, wines, chocolate hearts and treats left in our suite when we were out. And on our 40th anniversary, we found a beautiful card along with a delicious cheese and fruit platter and a bottle of wine. Wow! Just Wow! We felt so special. The Splendid Concierge Team is exceptional. Whether it’s planning a day trip to Slovenia to see the castles and caves (shout out to Antonio our fabulous driver) or getting directions to the bridge or square, they are always eager and happy to help. So professional and kind. You can ask Concierge anything. Nothing is too big or small. Grazie Millie Alessandro, Pietro and the whole Concierge Team. I’ve never met anyone who didn’t just absolutely love Venice. I didn’t get it. Now I do. On our last day, I felt so sad I nearly cried. I didn’t want to go home. I wanted to stay. I love the Venice book you gave us as a farewell gift. I keep it in our living room to remind us of the magic and beauty of Venice that will always live in our hearts. I can’t wait to come back one day! Maybe for our 50th! Grazie Millie Salvatore Pisani and Team!
