Book the St. Regis Venice with VIP Benefits

The St Regis Venice Hotel is a luxury hotel enjoying a prime position overlooking the Grand Canal, an insight into Venice's most iconic landmarks.

Unlike any other city globally, Venice is rising from roads of canals and proudly surviving centuries without sinking into the Adriatic Sea.

'La Serenissima,' built of a hundred islands in an aquamarine lagoon, is a city of great architectural beauty, pageantry, fascinating history, artistic and cultural heritage, grace, and charm.

Location

St. Regis Venice was revamped from a more traditional hotel and now stands as a sumptuously stylish contemporary take on the formerly ornate opulent building. The views are stunning across the Grand Canal to the Palladian architecture of the 16th-century Benedictine church of San Georgio Maggiore.

The landmark cupola of Santa Maria della Salute Basilica stands out along the famous waterway crossed by the historic white-stone-enclosed Bridge of Sighs. Walking from the hotel, guests can soon find boutique shopping lining Calle (narrow passageways) and arrive in 5 minutes at St Mark's Square and Basilica.

You can approach Venice by boat, and the hotel has a jetty where guests disembark into a delightful canal-side garden. Besides, the main airport for the city is Marco Polo International, some 15 minutes away. Moreover, the property is within walking distance of Piazza San Marco.

Style and Reception

St. Regis celebrates the modern spirit but retains links with the city's cultural heritage. Boutiques and contemporary art collections continue to grow, referencing former times when artists like Monet and J.M.W Turner were visitors.

One of the essential cultural objectives of the hotel is to preserve and present astonishingly beautiful pieces of Venetian Murano glass. Guests can also arrange tours of the Berengo glass studio by the concierge services to appreciate more of these world-famous colored glass designs.

Additionally, check-in is efficient. You can relax in a comfortable reception area that is modern but ornately patterned and splashed with rich colors. Alternatively, gazing at the Renaissance and wandering out into the Italianate garden presents access to views of Venice in real-time, which is an unforgettable experience.

Rooms

The 130 guest rooms and 39 luxury suites have been redesigned into 5 connecting palazzi around the garden. Most feature spectacular views of the canal and city. Additionally, rooms are light and fresh with a softness created by sumptuous velvety materials on sofas and Frette linens on beds.

Shades of blue echo the waterside views. Besides, soft scatter cushions shimmer with Venetian colors of gold and bright blue. Room features include air conditioning, TV, cable/satellite, and a radio. There is also a mini-bar, room service, and Wi-Fi.

Moreover, bathrooms are lavish with complimentary luxury toiletries, ultra-soft bathrobes, and slippers.

Suites

The spa suites at the St. Regis Venice have pretty Juliette balconies or terraces. They also have lovely views, a generous space, and extra rooms ascending in price and requirements.

A dusky color scheme adds pops of terracotta that take the eye to the tile rooftops of the balcony view. Moreover, artwork adorns the walls, objets d'art, and lamps feature Murano glass and alabaster. Curved bed heads echo the shapes of the gondolas ferrying visitors along the canals, and patterned rugs/flooring suggest the rippling water outside the windows.

All benefit from the same amenities as the rooms. Bathrooms are even more luxurious with standalone baths. There are also separate showers with rainforest showerheads, additional cloakrooms, and Laboratoire Remede bath accessories. Furthermore, the 24-hour butler service is standard. The St. Regis butlers cultivate an environment that is like no other.

Venetian Dining

Gio's restaurant is named for the setting graced with a private terrace by the Grand Canal offering views over Giorgio San Maggiore. There could hardly be a better or more romantic place to enjoy a range of Italian cuisine dining and beverage options in this historic city - from a breakfast buffet to lunch or evening meal.

Menus of reinvented Italian and Venetian styling dishes are under the esteemed guidance of Sicilian executive chef Nadia Frisina. Food is served on exquisite green/white botanical tableware.

Bars

The St. Regis Bar offers cocktails in keeping with the modern vibe. Also available drinks in a garden setting by the canal with DJ-spun music. The Arts Bar is more refined. It enjoys its terrace by the canal, serving signature cocktails and drinks to a jazzy background soundtrack.

Both bars mix a house cocktail, Santa Maria, similar to a Bloody Mary, for which a special glass has been invented. Many guests may find the fabulous setting worth visiting the bars, even for a glass of water.

Spa and Fitness

Space is premium in this watery city, so the spa facility is small. However, it still provides ultra-luxe relaxing or revitalizing treatments and therapies. Facials, body scrubs, and massages are all available in lush treatment rooms.

In combination with the spa, fitness counselors can prepare programs to benefit the body. Additionally, state-of-the-art gym exercise apparatus and training advisors are available for guests throughout their stay. The gym also has personal TV screens plus iPad docking stations. Besides, it provides all-day access for hotel guests.

Events

The St. Regis Venice offers several rooms and spaces that quickly transform host meetings and social events with top-class planning and catering facilities. St Regis is perfect for hosting weddings in one of the most romantic settings in the world. A glamorous ballroom, exquisite garden, and meticulous organization can help couples enjoy an unforgettable day.

Venice Highlights

Apart from the pleasure of traveling by gondola, Venice has innumerable sights and things to do. The Rialto Bridge is in the heart of the city. However, it is also famous for its many unmissable markets.

The area also features the oldest bridge on the Grand Canal, one of the architectural and engineering glories of Renaissance Italy. Moreover, the Venice Carnival, a tradition from the 13th century, is still marked by celebrations and masquerade balls where the Venetian masks (masques) must be donned.

Takeaway

If visiting Italy for business or on vacation, time in Venice is something no one should miss. Precariously perched on islands in a lagoon facing the Adriatic, there have often been fears of it sinking away, but somehow it magically survives. Even so, it seems wise to visit now. There can be no accommodation better placed to enjoy the city than the St. Regis Hotel.
