Walking distance from everything you want in Venice. They gave us a free bottle of Bellini when we checked in. Great breakfast buffet right on the water, that was included with our room for being Marriott elite members. This has to be one of the nicest best hotels in Venice. The only somewhat downside is that because this is such a nice hotel, room service and the food options at the hotel are completely overpriced. But that's the case almost everything in Venice from what we saw. If there was some more reasonable food and beverage options at this hotel i would have given it 5 stars

When we arrived, we were shown to the room immediately after a brief introduction to the hotel and city. We were offered any advice we needed as well as access to concierge services gratis. The staff was welcoming and friendly as well. It's very comfortable. The room decor was elegant and the bed was wonderful after a long trip. Coffee and a welcome bottle of Prosecco were also waiting for us. The view is really, truly right on the canal. It's fantastic but surprisingly quiet at night, likely due to the excellent windows We took the water taxi to the San Marco Square then walked back and it was about a 30 minute walk with beautiful shops and restaurants almost the entire way. Final note, the breakfast was a very good value with a diverse selection and excellent coffee. We recommend this hotel wholeheartedly.

Fortunately, we were lucky enough to stay just after they had reopened after their remodel. We did not realize when we booked our vacation that we would be in Venice at the same time as the Venice film festival. The hotel was clearly fully occupied with people attending the event, but you would not notice a difference at all in the service. Highly recommend breakfast at the upper restaurant overlooking the water and the beautiful scenery and architecture. We were pleasantly surprised that the hotel manager reached out on a number of occasions in an attempt to personally introduce himself to us. We ultimately did meet Francesco and he was so genuine and personal in his eagerness to make sure that we were having a pleasant stay. Would highly recommend staying at this beautiful, historical hotel with prime location to the Square and other sites. Cannot praise the hotel staff enough, they were excellent!

The entire hotel and restaurant are beautifully designed, with an atmosphere that feels both luxurious and welcoming. I also had the vegetarian pasta, and it was phenomenal.

Although the staff did try to prevent this, and gave us a map of the city as well as recommendations. I think the main selling point for me was that with three travelers, we usually needed a queen and an extra bed, and the suite that we booked came with an extra bed in it's own separate little area that had it's own television (although we didn't use it, it was nice that it was there!). Plus, there were extra pillows and covers to make sure everyone was comfortable. Overall, a really lovely stay in Venice.

At the time I was Starwood Platinum, and I booked a King room with a view of the canal. As we checked in - after the train ride from Milan, the long water Vaporetto ride, and the cold walk from the square - the staff was quite friendly as they informed us ... I had been upgraded to a suite with a terrace on the top floor! Right across the canal from the room was the Basilica, with the Lagoon behind it and Lido off in the distance. The furnature was pure classical period style and the terrace was larger than my next room in Munich. Unfortunately it was February so the Terrace was of little use and some of the hotel facilities were not open. But it was fabulous anyway. Now, my stay may not be typical, not everyone gets upgraded to a $2,500/night hotel room. The location is great - easy walking to just about any part of Venezia. The staff was friendly and helpful. Not sure about wifi and connectivity - when we were in the room we weren't surfing the internet.
