Metropole Hotel Venice

We loved this hotel. It's right on the Grand Canal and just a few minutes walk from St. Mark's square. We booked a room with a view and loved it. It stated it came with a queen size bed, but it was a king size. The bed was so comfortable. We had a corner room and 3 large windows. We loved that they all opened and could enjoy the breeze and the sounds and sites from the promenade below. Our favorites things about this hotel were the location, views and service.

Just had another fabulous stay at this wonderful hotel, this time i was visiting Venice with my Daughter who was staying in the hotel for her 1st time . Like myself she is no stranger to Venice its her favourite city .She totally agreed with everything I'd told her about the hotel , the cleanliness, proximity to all major sights fabulous breakfast and beautiful room but most of all how welcome we were made to feel by all the wonderful people who work there they really do make you feel special, im already planning to return again in November with my husband and I'm sure my Daughter will be back again she enjoyed her stay so much!

We loved the convenient location. The staff were pleasant and generally attentive. I did find having to leave and collect the room key every time we came or went, although charming, a bit of a nuisance. The room was clean and fresh. The reason for 3/5 review is based entirely on the quality of the mattress. In a word, awful. The king bed was two twins pushed together which is fine but the mattress I slept on was concrete hard and had a marked slope in the middle and a definite tilt towards the middle at the bottom. I could not get comfortable and woke each morning with achy shoulders, hips, and knees. I am not prone to any aches or pains. On our last night, a party was held in the courtyard below our window. Loud music played until 12:30 am. Frustrating as we had a 5:50 am departure to catch our flight. In fairness, I don’t know if the party was on hotel grounds or next door.

Amazing atmosphere of Venice carnival! The staff is fantastic, the services are superb, the vibes are amazing. Rooms are comfortable and vintage decorated. Breakfast is great and servers attend for your every wish. Spa is out of this world. Very close to San Marco square and all major Venice attractions.

This was our second stay at the Metropole and we, for sure, plan to come back. Metropole is one of the last Venetian hotels not owned by a hotel chain. The Hotel is located in an ancient palazzo on the Riva degli Schiavoni, where you can still breathe its legendary past. After it’s several reincarnations as a palazzo, hotel and WWII hospital, building was purchased and lovingly restored by Beggiato family. Beggiatos are passionate art collectors, who are generously sharing antique objects of beauty from their collections with their guests. Thousands of antiques, including unique collections of trunks and suitcases, fans, business card holders, evening bags, toiletries, corkscrews, crucifixes, headboards and furniture are displayed in common areas and are used to decorate rooms and suites. The Metropole is not just a hotel, it is a real museum, all to be discovered. The services and staff were excellent. We were pleasantly surprised by a free upgrade to a suite with a breathtaking view of the San Marco basin. The suite was spotless, beautifully decorated and cleaned promptly in the morning with a turndown service in the evening. The rooms and suites at this hotel are truly wonderful, each is a unique masterpiece of Venetian art. The Metropole has a great Oriental bar and bistro decorated with ancient armor and soft deep red velvet sofas. It is a perfect place to indulge in a cocktail and taste dishes inspired by Venice and the Orient. There is a secret garden where we collected a couple of oranges from the trees. We also booked and had a couple of gloriously soothing hours at the Spa relaxing in the Hammam looking into a small round window at the Venetian canal, soaking in the heated pool with hydro massage and drinking fragrant tea.
