Canaletto Luxury Suites – San Marco Luxury

Canaletto Luxury Suites – San Marco Luxury Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Canaletto Luxury Suites – San Marco Luxury honestly feels like stepping into someone’s beautifully restored Venetian palazzo — which, knowing Venice, it probably was at some point. The entrance is tucked away on a quiet stretch of San Marco, and you know what? That’s exactly what you want here. No tourist crowds pushing past while you’re checking in, just that immediate sense that you’ve found something special in the heart of the city.

Location That Actually Matters

Here’s the thing about Venice — location isn’t just about being central, it’s about being central to the right things. This four-star property sits perfectly positioned where you can walk to St. Mark’s Square in about three minutes, but you’re far enough from the main thoroughfares that you won’t hear tour groups at dawn. I mean, couples consistently rate the location 9.7 out of 10, and after staying here, I get why. You’re literally surrounded by those postcard-perfect canals, authentic bacari (local wine bars), and the kind of narrow alleyways where you’ll stumble upon artisan workshops that have been family-run for generations.

The Suites Experience

The suites themselves strike this perfect balance between Venetian character and modern comfort. Each room feels spacious by Venice standards — and trust me, that matters when you’re dealing with a city built on medieval foundations. The decor leans into the palazzo aesthetic without going overboard with the gilt and velvet (you know how some Venetian hotels can get a bit theatrical). What I really appreciated were the thoughtful touches: proper lighting for reading, actually functional Wi-Fi, and bathrooms where you don’t have to choose between hitting your elbow or your knee when you shower.

Morning Rituals

Breakfast here is American-style, which honestly works better than you might expect in Venice. Sometimes you just want straightforward coffee, eggs, and pastries without having to navigate an elaborate Italian breakfast ritual when you’re planning a full day of sightseeing. The breakfast area has this lovely intimate feel — it’s not some massive hotel dining room where you’re fighting for a table. Plus, the staff actually remembers your coffee preferences after the first morning, which is one of those small details that makes a difference during a longer stay.

Why Guests Love It

What really sets this place apart is how it manages to feel both authentically Venetian and genuinely comfortable. You’re not sacrificing modern amenities for atmosphere, and you’re not stuck in some generic hotel that could be anywhere. The location score of 9.8 isn’t just numbers — it reflects how perfectly positioned you are to experience Venice like someone who actually knows the city. Whether you’re planning romantic evening walks along the canals or early morning explorations before the day-trippers arrive, you’ll find yourself coming back to a place that feels like a proper retreat from the beautiful chaos that is Venice.

• Wolfe from United States – 17 February 2025 (10/10)

  The location of this property is unbeatable with a view of through Saint Marc’s square to the water that is breathtaking at sunrise and sunset. The room is spacious with tons of storage and an amazing breakfast was brought to us each morning. The spa tub in the master bath was wonderful as well.
  
  What could be improved: The only thing is the shower didn’t have great water pressure but the spa tub was outstanding.

  Forget about luxury Venetian hotels – and we have tried several of them over the years we have been going to Venice – Danieli, Luna Baglioni, Ca'sagredo, Ai Reali, to name a few. If you don't need slippers and a bonbon on your pillow by your bed every night or a luxurious restaurant and bar right in the hotel, then try staying at Canaletto Luxury Suites – San Marco Luxury. In the case of the apartment with a terrace, which we rented, you will get a 70 m2 luxuriously furnished apartment with a large terrace with a unique view of most of the monuments on San Marco Square. And for a significantly lower price than you would get for a similar apartment in a luxury 5-star hotel. Every morning you will be greeted by an opulent breakfast, served directly to your suite. Mornings with breakfast on the terrace overlooking San Marco are simply magical and highly addictive. The charm of this accommodation is further enhanced by the uniqueness of the building in which Canaletto Luxury Suites – San Marco Luxury is located – the 15th-century Clock Tower, Torre di Orologio. The house where the great Venetian painter Canaletto once lived.
  
  What could be improved: Due to the location on San Marco, a taxi cannot reach the apartment, you have to drag your luggage across the entire square, but it is a small inconvenience that this accommodation will amply compensate for.

• Benjamin from Australia – 24 January 2025 (9/10)

  Location was front and center to St Marco Square. Could not be better.
  
  What could be improved: Kind of hard to find compared to a traditional well known hotel. You have to know where you are going and there are multiple hotels with similar names.

• Amie from Australia – 10 January 2025 (9/10)

  Stunning location, lovely spacious apartment, comfy beds and very clean. Some staff were very friendly, others a little less so. Overall an amazing experience.

• Dorotea from Australia – 8 January 2025 (10/10)

  Amazing. I will always stay here when visiting Venice. The location is unbeatable. Thank you we loved every minute being there.

• Kareem from Saudi Arabia – 14 December 2024 (10/10)

  It was exceptionally sensational! A true honeymoon hotel ! Perfect in every way ! Great breakfast, bed was comfortable and all amenities were available and its center of all touristic sites, restaurants, shops and on the San Marco piazza! You couldn’t get a better location and the place was clean , a real suite with everything you can imagine!
  
  What could be improved: The place took us 3 hours to find the place and walking around the whole city to find the place ! They MUST PUT A SIGN OR PROPER DIRECTIONS BECAUSE ITS IMMPOSIBLE TO FIND ! That’s a MUST ! Terrible to find but once you find it in a small corner street it’s amazing and easy to find

• Sladjan from Sweden – 18 November 2024 (10/10)

  Location cannot be better. It is just in front of the basilica.
  We had the room at the top floor. It is very well furnished witv space utilized in the best possible way. There is even a sauna in the room.
