Luxury hotels in Venice abound yet many disappoint. A few however epitomize the glamour, history and opulence of Venice.
I have selected the five hotels that I truly believe to be
exceptional. All these hotels seem to capture the elegance of Venice
Italy.
In most of these hotels the centuries of Venetian history can be
felt in every room, in every corner. I believe these to be the finest hotels in Venice. A few are among the best in the world...
Beautifully restored the Luna Hotel Baglioni is magnificently opulent,
perfectly located and ideal for a romantic stay in Venice. Try to book
one of the luxury junior suites as the double rooms can be a little
small. The Canova restaurant is a very good place to try local cuisine
at its best. This is perhaps the best of the luxury hotels in
Venice -

Gritti Palace is in my opinion the second best of all the
luxury hotels in Venice. The service is impeccable, the hotel immaculate
and the location is superb. What could be grander than staying in a restored 15th century palace on the Grand Canal. For more on the Gritti Palace click here.
The Metropole Hotel
is right in the heart of Venice and just off St Marks Square. This is a
hotel that is impossible to fault; everything about the Metropole hotel
is perfect. The restaurant is superb and the breakfast is the best you
will get in Venice. Make sure you ask for a room with a lagoon view,
though it may cost a little more it is worth it.

Certainly the most exclusive luxury hotel in Venice. This is the hotel that all the Hollywood celebrities stay at - not sure if that is a good or bad thing.
If you can afford it, the magnificent Dogaressa Suite, offering phenomenal views of St. Mark's square, is a must. Sadly this suite (and the rest of the hotel) is only for the very rich; although lovely it's way out of my league. Click here for more information and photos.
The Hotel Danieli is magnificent and not simply a place to stay but an experience you'll never forget. The sumptuous elegance of this 14th century palace is apparent from the moment you enter the lobby. Make no mistake this is a fabulous hotel and perhaps the most romantic hotel in Venice.
