Venice's best-known properties stand in San Marco and on the Bacino: the Gritti Palace Venice on Campo Santa Maria del Giglio (from around 1,170 €) – at 4.9 our highest-rated house in the city –, the Hotel Danieli Venice on the Riva degli Schiavoni (650 €), The St. Regis Venice (920 €), the Bauer Palazzo Venice on Campo San Moisè (420 €) and the Baglioni Hotel Luna Venice (560 €).
On the Grand Canal follow the Aman Venice in the Palazzo Papadopoli (1,040 €), the Ca' Sagredo Hotel Venice on Campo Santa Sofia (270 €) and the Palazzo Venart Luxury Hotel Venice (370 €).
On the islands sit the Belmond Hotel Cipriani Venice on the Giudecca (1,270 €) – the most expensive address in the city –, the JW Marriott Venice Resort on its own island in the lagoon (400 €), the San Clemente Palace Venice (712 €) and the Hyatt Centric Murano Venice (120 €, rated 4.7) – the lowest entry rate in our Venice selection.
Suites in Venice and rooms facing the Grand Canal
Venice's luxury hotels are almost all palazzi, and the most important thing to know before booking follows from that. In a Venetian palazzo the grand piano nobile faces the water; every other room faces the courtyard or the alley.
Ca' di Dio Hotel Venice · CastelloRooms with a view of the Grand Canal or the Bacino are therefore a small category of their own everywhere – at the Gritti Palace, the Danieli, the Aman, the Ca' Sagredo and the Hotel Monaco & Grand Canal just as much as at the smaller houses. The premium is considerable, and in high season those categories are taken months in advance. Register the request through our travel advisors before you book.Personal luxury travel adviceOur travel advisors personally accompany your booking – 365 days a year, from the first offer to late check-out. Reach the suitespot VIP service via email or WhatsApp.Phone: +49 30 81452346 · hotel@suitespot.comThe most elaborate suites are at the Belmond Hotel Cipriani Venice on the Giudecca (from around 1,270 €), the Gritti Palace Venice (1,170 €), the Aman Venice in the Palazzo Papadopoli (1,040 €) and The St. Regis Venice (920 €).
Considerably more accessible are the suites at the Hotel Danieli Venice (650 €), the Violino D'Oro Venice (610 €), the Hotel Londra Palace Venice (560 €) and the Hotel Gabrielli Venezia on the Riva degli Schiavoni (490 €).
Our travel advisors' insider tip
The most practical thing to know about Venice is not the hotel but the arrival: no car and no taxi enters the old city. From Marco Polo airport a water taxi brings you directly to the boat landing of many properties – the addresses on the water have a tangible advantage here, because otherwise you cross bridges and steps with luggage. Tell us before you travel and we will have the hotel arrange the transfer.
Second, the season: Venice is full and expensive from April to October and over Carnival. In November, January and February the same properties often cost half as much – and the city shows itself as it is without day visitors.
And third: eight of our 25 properties take part in no points programme – among them the Aman, the Ca' Sagredo and the Londra Palace, precisely the palazzi that make Venice what it is. Among the rest, the Leaders Club (five properties), Marriott Bonvoy (four) and iPrefer (four) are the strongest.
Five-star hotels in Venice by area: which sestiere?
Venice is divided into six sestieri, plus the islands in the lagoon. The differences are larger than the short distances suggest.
Hyatt Centric Murano Venice · MuranoThese five areas cover our selection.
San Marco – in the centre
Around St Mark's Square stand eight of our properties: the Gritti Palace Venice on Campo Santa Maria del Giglio (from around 1,170 €, rated 4.9), The St. Regis Venice (920 €), the Violino D'Oro Venice on Campiello Barozzi (610 €), the Baglioni Hotel Luna Venice (560 €), the Bauer Palazzo Venice on Campo San Moisè (420 €), the Hotel Monaco & Grand Canal Venice (360 €), the Sina Palazzo Sant'Angelo Venice (210 €) and the Splendid Venice on the Mercerie (210 €). If you want a hotel in the centre of Venice, this is where you stay – standing on St Mark's Square before the day visitors arrive is worth the premium.
Castello and the Riva degli Schiavoni – on the water
East of St Mark's the waterfront promenade runs along the Bacino: the Hotel Danieli Venice (650 €), the Hotel Londra Palace Venice (560 €), the Hotel Gabrielli Venezia (490 €), the Ca' di Dio Hotel Venice on the Riva Ca' di Dio (430 €), the Hotel Savoia & Jolanda Venice (350 €) and – slightly set back in a quiet alley – the Hotel Ai Reali Venice (140 €). The houses on the Riva have the most open view in the city.
Cannaregio and Santa Croce – quieter and more Venetian
In the north, where Venice still has everyday life: the Orient Express Venezia on the Strada Nova (753 €), the Ca' Sagredo Hotel Venice in a palazzo directly on the Grand Canal (270 €), the Palazzo Nani Venice Radisson Collection Hotel on the Fondamenta Cannaregio (230 €) and, in Santa Croce, the Palazzo Venart Luxury Hotel Venice with its own garden on the Grand Canal (370 €).
Dorsoduro and San Polo – the museum side
Between the Accademia and the Peggy Guggenheim Collection stand the Aman Venice in the Palazzo Papadopoli on the Grand Canal (1,040 €) and the Sina Centurion Palace Venice (270 €). Dorsoduro is the quarter of students and galleries – livelier in the evening and quieter during the day than San Marco.
The islands – Giudecca, Lido, Murano and the lagoon
On the Giudecca, looking back at St Mark's, stands the Belmond Hotel Cipriani Venice (1,270 €), the most expensive address in the city. The San Clemente Palace Venice occupies a lagoon island of its own (712 €), as does the JW Marriott Venice Resort (400 €, rated 4.3). On Murano and at the eastern edge of the city follow the Hyatt Centric Murano Venice (120 €, rated 4.7) and the Hotel Indigo Venice Sant'Elena (120 €). All the island properties run their own boats into the centre; allow 10 to 25 minutes each way.
Modern hotels in Venice
Venice is known as a city of historic palazzi – but if you deliberately want a modern hotel, our selection holds several addresses, and almost all of them lie outside the historic core.
Hotel Londra Palace Venice · CastelloThe clearest is the Hyatt Centric Murano Venice on the Riva Longa on the glassmakers' island (from around 120 €, rated 4.7) – a contemporary building looking across the Murano canal, and at the same time the lowest entry rate in our Venetian selection. Equally clear is the Hotel Indigo Venice Sant'Elena on the quiet eastern edge of the city (120 €).
The JW Marriott Venice Resort on the Isola delle Rose is a modern resort building in the lagoon as well (400 €, rated 4.3), as is the Sina Centurion Palace Venice in Dorsoduro (270 €), whose interior is contemporary while the façade stays historic.
In the historic core itself a truly modern building is barely possible under planning law – what you get there is contemporary comfort inside a historic shell, for instance at the Ca' di Dio Hotel Venice in Castello (430 €), whose interiors are by Patricia Urquiola, or at the Palazzo Nani Venice Radisson Collection Hotel in Cannaregio (230 €).
The most luxurious and the most expensive hotels in Venice
Anyone asking for the most luxurious hotel in Venice gets two answers from us – depending on whether you want to stay in the city or looking at it.
The highest entry rate belongs to the Belmond Hotel Cipriani Venice on the Giudecca at around 1,270 € per night – with garden, pool and the most famous view back at St Mark's Square. In the city itself the Gritti Palace Venice on the Grand Canal leads at around 1,170 €, and at 4.9 it is also our highest-rated house in Venice.
Then come the Aman Venice in the Palazzo Papadopoli (1,040 €), The St. Regis Venice (920 €), the Orient Express Venezia (753 €), the San Clemente Palace Venice (712 €) and the Hotel Danieli Venice (650 €).
At the other end, the Hyatt Centric Murano Venice and the Hotel Indigo Venice Sant'Elena start at around 120 €, the Hotel Ai Reali Venice at 140 €, and the Sina Palazzo Sant'Angelo Venice and the Splendid Venice at 210 € each. The median entry rate is around 420 € per night – and the tenfold spread is explained almost entirely by location: water and St Mark's cost money, islands and edges do not.
Arrival, excursions and exclusive services
What our travel advisors arrange most often in Venice is the water taxi transfer from Marco Polo airport – in a city without cars that is not a convenience but the precondition for arriving with luggage in a relaxed state.Personal luxury travel adviceOur travel advisors personally accompany your booking – 365 days a year, from the first offer to late check-out. Reach the suitespot VIP service via email or WhatsApp.Phone: +49 30 81452346 · hotel@suitespot.comBeyond that: timed entry for the Doge's Palace and St Mark's Basilica, private boat trips to Murano, Burano and Torcello, and tables at the restaurants that take no online reservations.
For planning: from San Marco and Castello you reach everything on foot. From the islands you travel 10 to 25 minutes by the hotel's own boat – not a drawback, and for many guests the actual attraction.
As a suitespot guest you travel with VIP status: we register your preferences with the hotel before you arrive – above all the view of the water, which is a scarce category in the palazzi. On top of that, every property includes breakfast for two, an upgrade subject to availability and up to 100 USD hotel credit.
One last note: from November to February – outside Carnival – the same properties often cost half as much, and you see a city that for once does not belong to the day visitors.

Frequently asked questions about luxury hotels in Venice
How much does a five-star hotel in Venice cost?
Entry rates for our 25 properties in Venice run from around 120 € per night (Hyatt Centric Murano Venice and Hotel Indigo Venice Sant'Elena) to 1,270 € at the Belmond Hotel Cipriani Venice on the Giudecca. The median is around 420 €.
The tenfold spread is explained almost entirely by location: water and St Mark's cost money, islands and edges do not. Below the median you will find the Hotel Ai Reali Venice (140 €), the Sina Palazzo Sant'Angelo Venice and the Splendid Venice (210 € each) and the Palazzo Nani (230 €).
With suitespot you always book at direct rates, and the benefits worth more than 500 € come on top.
Which hotels in Venice have a view of the Grand Canal?
Venice's luxury hotels are almost all palazzi, and in a palazzo the grand piano nobile faces the water while every other room faces the courtyard or the alley.
Rooms with a view of the Grand Canal or the Bacino are therefore a small category of their own everywhere – at the Gritti Palace, the Danieli, the Aman, the Ca' Sagredo and the Hotel Monaco & Grand Canal just as much as at the smaller houses.
The premium is considerable, and in high season those categories are taken months in advance. Register the request through your travel advisor before you book – not on arrival.
Which sestiere should I stay in in Venice?
San Marco holds eight of our properties and is the choice if you want the centre – standing on St Mark's Square before the day visitors arrive is worth the premium.
Castello and the Riva degli Schiavoni hold six and have the most open view in the city.
Cannaregio and Santa Croce hold four and are quieter and more Venetian; Dorsoduro and San Polo, the museum side, hold two.
And the islands hold five, from the Belmond Hotel Cipriani on the Giudecca (1,270 €) to the Hyatt Centric Murano (120 €). All the island properties run their own boats into the centre; allow 10 to 25 minutes each way.
Do I earn points and can I use my status with suitespot?
At 17 of our 25 Venice properties. Eight take part in no points programme – among them the Aman Venice, the Ca' Sagredo and the Hotel Londra Palace, precisely the palazzi that make Venice what it is.
Among the rest, the Leaders Club is the strongest with five properties, followed by Marriott Bonvoy and iPrefer with four each, and ALL, World of Hyatt, Radisson Rewards and IHG Rewards with one each.
The suitespot benefits apply at all 25 regardless.
Which is the most luxurious hotel in Venice?
Two answers, depending on whether you want to stay in the city or looking at it.
The highest entry rate belongs to the Belmond Hotel Cipriani Venice on the Giudecca at around 1,270 € per night – with garden, pool and the most famous view back at St Mark's Square.
In the city itself the Gritti Palace Venice on the Grand Canal leads at around 1,170 €, and at 4.9 it is also our highest-rated house in Venice.
Then come the Aman Venice (1,040 €), The St. Regis Venice (920 €) and the Orient Express Venezia (753 €).
Are there modern hotels in Venice?
Yes, and almost all of them lie outside the historic core – in the centre a genuinely modern building is barely possible under planning law.
The clearest are the Hyatt Centric Murano Venice on the glassmakers' island (from around 120 €, rated 4.7) and the Hotel Indigo Venice Sant'Elena at the quiet eastern edge (120 €) – together the lowest entry rates in our Venetian selection.
The JW Marriott Venice Resort on the Isola delle Rose is a modern resort building in the lagoon (400 €), and the Sina Centurion Palace Venice in Dorsoduro (270 €) is contemporary inside behind a historic façade.
In the core itself: contemporary comfort in a historic shell, for instance at the Ca' di Dio Hotel Venice (430 €), whose interiors are by Patricia Urquiola.
Which luxury hotels lie on the islands off Venice?
Five of our 25.
On the Giudecca, looking back at St Mark's, stands the Belmond Hotel Cipriani Venice (1,270 €), the most expensive address in the city.
The San Clemente Palace Venice (712 €) and the JW Marriott Venice Resort on the Isola delle Rose (400 €, rated 4.3) each occupy a lagoon island of their own.
On Murano, the glassmakers' island, stands the Hyatt Centric Murano Venice (120 €, rated 4.7), and at the eastern edge of the city the Hotel Indigo Venice Sant'Elena (120 €).
All of them run their own boats into the centre – allow 10 to 25 minutes each way. For many guests that crossing is the point rather than the cost.
When is the best time to visit Venice?
From April to October and over Carnival the city is full and expensive.
In November, January and February the same properties often cost half as much – and the city shows itself as it is without day visitors. That is, for our money, the better Venice.
The acqua alta belongs to those months as well: it is predictable a few days ahead, affects mainly the lowest-lying squares, and the hotels are prepared for it. Ask us about the forecast for your dates before you commit.
