Floating gondolas, the chime of ancient church bells, and romantic piazzas make Venice such a treasured Italian destination. Splendid Venice, part of Preferred Hotels & Resorts and a member of the Preferred Hotel Group, was built during the 16th century. Located between St. Mark's Square and the landmark Rialto Bridge, this historic hideaway features 165 guestrooms. The hotel has been completely refurbished, maintaining a traditional Venetian presence coupled with contemporary appointments. Walls are cloaked in pearl gray with hand-painted wisteria accents. Lush velvets and cool silk textiles, which cover headboards and furnishings, add a most luxurious touch. The hotel's private docks jut out into the canals, allowing guests to disembark from gondolas and water taxis with ease.

After two weeks of traveling, we were excited to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary and birthdays in Venice at Hotel Splendid. It reminded us of a favorite hotel in NYC that we’ve returned to time and again. Our room and sitting area was spacious and quiet, traditionally and classically furnished and just the sort of place to settle in for a perfect stay. The beautifully appointed marble bathroom with an ample sized vanity and steaming hot shower was refreshing. The restaurant was very good — both for breakfast and we had one evening meal of a delicious filet and sea bass. Room service is a plus! If you want to be close to everything, but enjoy a break from the bustling crowds, Splendid’s quiet luxury on a secondary canal is your place.

The staff was friendly and the location was good. The room was tired and outdated and we had a connecting room with our kids, but if you wanted to have the door between the rooms open, you couldn’t turn off the light in the hallway at night. The white plumbing fixtures had some yellowing and staining. I’m assuming that is minerals in the water, but it didn’t feel very luxurious. I would probably look for a different hotel next time, but there was nothing wrong with the place and I think that lowering expectations a notch when in Venice is probably a good plan.

Great hotel in a fantastic location. We stayed in a family room (2 beds and 2 bath), which was perfect for our family of four. Room was very clean, with ample room and only downside was kids room had better view of a side canal. Service was outstanding from the front desk, to housekeeping and especially Ali. Venice is a great walking city and hotel location can't be beat.

Smiles greeted us from the time we stepped in till the time we left. Rooms were tastefully appointed with beautiful baths! The location in San Marco could not have been more perfect. We had a daily breakfast included with our rate which was fantastic. Please look for Khan in the restaurant as he made each day special for us. More than a waiter.. a new friend. Thank you Hotel Splendid!
