Splendid Venice sits midway between St. Mark's Square and the Rialto Bridge, with its own gondola dock on a quiet canal. Part of the Starhotels Collezione, it combines a central location with Venetian elegance and a rooftop terrace.

Booked for my clients: the easiest base for a first visit, with both landmarks a short walk away.

Where you’ll be

The hotel is in the San Marco district, in the Mercerie, the historic shopping lanes that connect St. Mark's Square and the Rialto. Everything from the Doge's Palace to the Rialto Market is within a few minutes' walk.

The stay

Rooms are elegant and comfortable, with Venetian touches, and some overlook the canal. The rooftop terrace is a lovely spot for an evening spritz, and gondolas pull up right at the hotel's own dock.
