NH Collection Venezia Grand Hotel Palazzo dei Dogi

This was our first two nights on our Perillo guided tour of Italy. This is a beautiful hotel, once a French Embassy and a Monastery even earlier in its history. Breakfast had a large selection of fruit, pastries, meats, eggs, etc. The property is well maintained on a canal with a short walk to the main canal transportation stop. We enjoyed the gardens. We appreciated all of the staff as they were truly attentive to your comfort and needs.

The most beautiful hotel, if you are on the fence about booking then please take my advice and book! The hotel is just slightly out of the centre in a lovely quiet residential neighbourhood, which meant lovely quiet rooms, but only 5-10 mins walk into the centre of Venice. The concierge welcome was excellent, lovely staff throughout our visit who couldn’t help enough. The entrance into the hotel is incredible, what a special place with ornate Venetian decor but with a slightly modern twist. We booked suite room, which I’m so pleased we did. It was absolutely huge and beautifully decorated, very quiet and lovely views backing on to the gorgeous botanical garden. Very comfortable beds! The hotel run a shuttle boat into St Marks square three times a day, we got the later 2pm shuttle one day and had the boat to ourselves which felt like a private taxi service but for only 7 euros. All in all a very special, beautiful hotel and one that we will certainly return to, I wouldn’t consider staying anywhere else in Venice now. Thank you for a fabulous stay

This hotel was lovely - quiet and away from all the crowds with good non-touristy restaurants nearby. Has its own shuttle to St. Marco's square which is fabulous. Also has complimentary shuttle to Murano, also great. A key criteria in a hotel for me is what happens when something goes wrong. We had an issue and it was fixed immediately, perfectly, and everyone was very gracious. It is not a huge hotel so all the staff were aware and were so helpful. You can't ask for more. The gardens in the center of the hotel were also beautiful, creating a quiet oasis to unwind. If we are back in Venice, I am booking here.

What a beautiful hotel, we picked this hotel as we didn’t want to be in the centre of Venice, it’s a 15 boat ride from the airport and you arrive in a stunning garden setting where we quickly realised we’d picked one of the most tranquil hotels in Venice. The staff were wonderful we couldn’t fault a thing, the breakfast was really good with loads of different options l. The hotel rooms were spacious and decorated beautifully. The main lobby is full of fresh flowers and again just very beautiful. We were also given a complementary glass tour to another island by boat which was really fun. The hotel is around a 20-30 minute walk to the Rialto bridge, but it’s a really beautiful walk, over many bridges down little side streets- every corner you turn is another photo opportunity, it’s truly magical. We’ve recommended this hotel to all our family and would definitely stay again.

A hiddden gem but still within a stroll to the main sights of Venice. And the private water taxi of the hotel was great and very reasonable vs other water taxi costs
