Few cities have the creative genius or the unique historical heritage of Venice: from its ancient canals and waterways (can’t wait to ride on a gondola!) to the grandeur of St. Mark’s Basilica and the Renaissance art within the Galleria dell’Accademia. There really is no place like Venice.
Our top hotels.
Enjoy the authenticity that comes with a boutique hotel? We do too; we love staying at Hotel Saturnia for its blended Art Deco and Venetian styles, Hotel Flora for its ivy-covered charm and the Aqua Palace for its sultry coloring and moody atmosphere. For something a bit grander, the San Clemente Palace Kempinski is a glamorous pink-hued dwelling set on its own island.
