Londra Palace Venezia

Londra Palace Venezia Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to the Londra Palace Venezia feels like stepping into a Venetian fairy tale — and I mean that in the best possible way. This five-star palazzo sits right on the Riva degli Schiavoni, which honestly might be the most coveted stretch of waterfront in all of Venice. You’re literally looking out at the lagoon and San Giorgio Maggiore island from the moment you arrive. The building itself has this gorgeous 19th-century elegance that somehow manages to feel both grand and welcoming at the same time.

Location That Actually Matters

Here’s what makes the location so special — you’re in Castello, which means you get the luxury of being central without the crushing crowds of San Marco (though St. Mark’s Square is just a three-minute walk away). The hotel sits on one of Venice’s main promenades, so you can step outside and immediately start exploring, but you’re also perfectly positioned for those romantic evening strolls along the water. Couples absolutely love it here, and honestly, I can see why — watching the sunset over the lagoon from this spot is pretty unforgettable.

The Rooms and That Sleep Quality

The rooms at Londra Palace Venezia really deliver on comfort, especially when it comes to getting a good night’s sleep. The beds are genuinely excellent — not just hotel marketing speak, but actually supportive and luxurious in a way that makes you want to hit snooze one more time. Many rooms offer those coveted lagoon views, though even the courtyard-facing ones have their own charm with glimpses of Venice’s rooftops and bell towers. The decor strikes this nice balance between Venetian tradition and modern comfort, so you feel like you’re staying somewhere special without sacrificing practicality.

Breakfast Worth Waking Up For

The breakfast spread here is actually impressive — they’ve got everything from continental classics to full English options, plus Italian specialties that make the most of local ingredients. What I really appreciate is how they handle dietary restrictions; whether you’re vegetarian, vegan, or need gluten-free options, they’ve clearly put thought into making sure everyone’s covered. The dining room itself overlooks the lagoon, so you’re starting your day with those water views that never get old, even after a few mornings.

Why Guests Love It

The food throughout the hotel consistently gets rave reviews, which isn’t always a given at luxury properties in tourist-heavy areas like this. But what really sets this place apart is how it manages to feel both exclusive and accessible — you’re staying somewhere genuinely special, but the staff makes it feel natural rather than stuffy. The combination of that unbeatable waterfront location, the quality of the accommodations, and the attention to detail in everything from the beds to the breakfast creates this experience that feels authentically Venetian while still delivering on modern luxury expectations.

The luxury concierge service in Venice secures Murano furnace masterclasses, lagoon yacht cocktails, and box seats at La Fenice.

• Marissa from Australia – 2 January 2025 (8/10)

  Magnificent location, amazing views, very close to many famous sites and opposite the vaporetto stop for easy transportation to and from the station. Light filled hotel beautifully fitted out and generally friendly staff. Excellent breakfast service and very clean premises. Attentive front desk.
  
  What could be improved: The staff seemed a bit overwhelmed with looking after everyone – minimal / non existent service at outside bar area, inconsistent breakfast service (more than made up for by the wonderful staff and tasty food) and no doorman to assist with luggage or heavy doors when trying to get luggage through. When enquiring about transportation from the station I was told I could get a transfer service for around €200 but no mention was made of it being just four stops away on the vaporetto / ferry (less than €20). Very slippery floor in bath/shower and inconveniently placed taps. Bed making and housekeeping was unusual – a bit untidy and haphazard (but very clean). None of these are deal breakers but for the price and the calibre of the hotel I think they could try to address these things.

• Victoria from United Kingdom – 12 November 2024 (10/10)

  We couldn't have asked for anything more wonderful than our stay with you. Just loved every moment.
  
  What could be improved: The only thing we felt could have been better was the bread at breakfast.

• Sandra from United Kingdom – 15 October 2024 (9/10)

  This is the third time we have stayed. The location is perfect, for us, just a few steps from the boat stop and within walking distance of the two main sites of the Biennale exhibitions. It is also neat St Marco square.
  As we booked well in advance, the hotel have been able to accommodate us by giving us the room we request.
  The breakfast is not self service. It's good, although somethings can be lost in translation, but over the years we have learnt to order what we want.
  
  What could be improved: We liked everything
