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.

Lovely old property right on the canal! Delicious breakfasts, comfortable room, and helpful staff. This hotel is within walking distance to San Marco Square and many tiny, twisty paths lined with touristy shops.

Before booking, I had read several reviews mentioning problems with the air conditioning, but I assumed the issue had been resolved. Unfortunately, it had not. Our room was extremely hot throughout our stay because the air conditioning was not working properly. We reported the problem and asked for it to be fixed, but nothing changed, and we were never offered another room. Sleeping comfortably was very difficult. The Wi-Fi in our room was also too weak to do any work, making it impossible to rely on for emails or video calls. The hotel is in a beautiful location, and the staff were generally pleasant. However, for a hotel in this price range, the failure to address these issues was very disappointing. If you are planning to visit Venice during the summer, I cannot recommend staying here until the air conditioning issues have been properly resolved.

A most lovely hotel - the beautiful furnishings and decor enhance the feeling of style in this hotel. The location is perfect, being a short walk from the main sights and close to lots of amazing restaurants. Surprisingly quiet given its city location.

Fabulous location, (just a couple walking blocks from the Rialto) professional and delightful staff! We traveled with our teenage granddaughter and we had the loveliest room with a view of a canal along with an additional bed in the main area. Breakfast buffet served in beautiful room. As it was a birthday trip for our granddaughter, a beautiful note and a few goodies were awaiting her. So thoughtful! Also loved that the staff ordered a vaporetto to the train station from their own loading area. Would recommend in a heartbeat and will definitely stay again!

Location is very good close to most places you need to see. Rooms very small views not the best. Ihave never been asked for a tip on checking out before , I tipped direct to staff concierge etc direct when needed. I work in tourism in UK and know Italian visitors dont tip in the UK.
