Luxury Hotels in Venice - a Luxury Explorer guide
The Luxe-trotter's Guide to luxury hotels in Venice

Venice is a sea of dreams; a swimming metropolis of architectural magnificence with all its greatness, its extraordinary grandness and historical marvels, sitting in water. The canals are the roads and aside from footwork, the boats or gondolas are your cars.

When you approach Venice in your water taxi (about 80 Euros, but worth every cent) you can't help but feel the excitement that travellers and traders must have shared for countless generations. You feel a sense of romance, inspired by a desperate urge to quench a cultural thirst. There is so much to see, so much to take in as you glide towards this extraordinary city without inhaling noxious car fumes or hearing the manifestations of congestion rage. That edgy feeling that most cities induce just doesn't exist here.

Luxury Explorer knows Venice very, very well. We have selected just three beautiful luxury hotels here, because, quite simply they are the best. If you are seeking a unique Venetian grand-luxe experience away from the crowds, choose The Cipriani; if the Grand Canal is calling and you are looking for a perfectly restored palazzo with outstanding views, it can only be Ca Sagredo; or if the buzz of St Mark's Square and Harry's Bar appeals, then the lovely Luna Baglioni is just steps away from the action.

On this, our second visit to the palazzo, we took our three younger sons, who all thought that the idea of a city built entirely on water seemed unimaginable. I also knew that we would be bombarded with questions relating to...



Luna Hotel Baglioni


Having written about this extraordinary hotel before, you may be wondering why we want to cover it again. Bearing in mind that this is about Suite Excess; staying here, looking out onto St Mark's Basin and being "Baglionied" in true Venetian renaissance-style is, quite frankly, reason enough. Who doesn't want to visit Venice? I'm surprised, with so many children being called Paris, Chelsea or Florence that seemingly...



Hotel Cipriani


Best Hotel for Outstanding Luxury - The Cipriani in Venice The Cipriani is the only hotel in Venice with a garden setting, swimming pool and tennis court. It is also wonderfully secluded within its walled compound on the tip of Guidecca, a short row from St Mark's square, and overlooking the island church of San Giorgio Maggiore and the picturesque Venetian Lagoon. This is where incomparable luxury meets...
