Metropole Hotel Venice

My wife and I stayed here on our 3rd leg of our 25th anniversary tour of Italy 🇮🇹 What a beautiful hotel! The staff is wonderful, our room (403) was the rooftop with terrace overlooking the lagoon....incredible views and we spent every night enjoying drinks on the terrace watching the boats, people and sunsets. Truly spectacular!! The Orientalbar & Bistrot had incredible food and the bartenders made quite the speciality drinks. They have a private receiving dock for water taxis and are only a 5-10 minute walk away from SM square. However, I recommend you take the alleyway in between the hotel and nextdoor church to escape into a special area of Venice. We really enjoyed exploring the back canals of Venice and escaping the madhouse of tourists along the main walkways. They also have a complimentary water taxi to Murano as well (to see the glass makers). The history of this unique place is fascinating and I recommend you take the stairs to each floor to see multiple priceless displays. The entire staff (too many to name) made us feel like royalty during our visit - I would like to think it was just for us - but, something tells me every guest is treated this way!! We will return one day to Venice and this hotel will for sure be on the itinerary!

Fabulous Hotel in a great location. From the moment we arrived, we received 5 star treatment. Our room was so comfortable, with everything you could possibly need. The staff are excellent and concierge helped us so much with navigating our way around the fabulous city. We would not stay anywhere else in Venice, if we were lucky enough to return.

The Hotel is located on the canal and is short distance walk to to Piazza San Marco with the Saint Mark's Basilica and Dodge Palace as well as small shops and many restaurants. The staff at the hotel are charming and extremely helpful especially the front desk that arranged a walking a boat tour for us. We recommend the hotel highly. C Whitehead Washington DC

Just checked in Metropole Venice- although we were excited to visit Venice and this hotel unfortunately I believe that the outcome was very poor and really disappointing. Theoretically we booked the best standard - not suite - room in the hotel with lagoon view. The advertisement in the site of the hotel was showing a room with magnificent and unhindered view in the lagoon and monuments of the city. What was the reality? In our view The opposite : : a room in the first floor watching the major attraction; a ticket facility of the pier with no privacy while we are standing over the pedestrian walk where. Some people can watch you in the room. Not a comfortable and acceptable situation for a 5 star hotel according to the hotel’s website. Thus before booking this expensive room pls ask the floor where it stands. I also have to note that when I asked a relocation they told me that there is no availability in this category but they offered me a suite for 400 or 350 euros per night additionally. Then I received another offer 200 euros supplement for a suite with the same bad view. !! ! It seems that in my case when you do not get a hotel room based on the advertisement off the site the other option you have is to pay more money. I will definitely check which authority reviews such websites and the accuracy of the advertisements. I would no recommend this hotel for this category.

Beautiful hotel in an historic building. Staff very helpful. My fifth trip to Venice- wish I had discovered the Metropole sooner! Great location to walk or catch the ferries. Their own dock for water taxi service. Extensive buffet breakfast. And the bathrooms have heated floors- what luxury!
