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.

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 The room was tired and outdated and we had a connecting room with our kids, but if you wanted to have the door between the rooms open, you couldn’t turn off the light in the hallway at night.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!

Spent two nights at Splendid Venice, which lived up to its name! Our water taxi was able to dock at the door, and we were welcomed into old-world charm by friendly staff. Public areas were nicely appointed. Our room was spotless and comfortable, and very quiet, although it faced the canal. Ports and outlets were thoughtfully placed, and wi-fi was good. Of note, the location was excellent—steps from some great restaurants and shops, and very close to the square. Altogether a grand stay!

Our room was great and the view. We had a canal view and it can be noisy on the morning but to be expected. The location of this hotel is perfect and all the staff were friendly. Room was very clean. The ladies on reception were particularly helpful and we tended to go to the rather than guest services as they were just a lot better. The hotel want to be Conde Nast travellers choice but there are details they need to deal with first: There are two Ladies toilets downstairs and one doesn’t have a toilet seat I would expect the vanity items to be replenished like the cotton wool Trying to get a drink at the bar at times took ages. One evening Guest Relations had to call for a bar person One of the tray of nibbles we had given had clearly been someone else’s. There were olive stones in the tray and the crisps were soggy For the reception staff and the location I would give this a 5* but they need to sort out a few things
