Waterfront Elegance at St. Regis Venice

Wedged between the majestic splendor of Venice historical palaces, overlooking the Grand Canal, St. Regis is one of the most shining jewels of the city. The luxury hotel merges the captivating spirit of Venice with a timeless sense of elegance and sophistication.

A few steps away from the iconic Piazza San Marco, stands proud one of the most prestigious destinations of Italy: ​Hotel St. Regis. Elegant and majestic, the historical building overlooks Venice’s CanalGrande, boasting an outstanding view on the best part of the city. Formerly known as Grand Hotel Britannia, the St. Regis is the result of the renovation of five historical palaces, with the oldest – Badoer Tiepolo – dating back to 1600. The ancient hotel opened in 1895, the inaugural year of the Venice Biennale and has hosted many famous artists including J.M.W. Turner, John Singer Sargent and Claude Monet. In the autumn of 1908, Monet painted San Giorgio Maggiore, Twilight from his room overlooking the Grand Canal.

Venice is one of the world’s most inimitable cities; one which has inspired royalty, artists, merchants and jet setters alike for more than fifteen centuries.

From its ideal location at the mouth of the Grand Canal, The St. Regis offers unparalleled vistas of some of Venice’s most celebrated landmarks, including the Basilica of Santa Maria della Salute and the Punta della Dogana Museum. Behind the hotel lies Calle XXII Marzo, a street which is home to elite boutiques, contemporary art galleries and Grand Teatro La Fenice, the city’s temple to opera.

The five “Palazzi” have been restored and furnished keeping the artistic and cultural heritage of the building in mind, while also adding a signature touch of modern glamour. The exquisite design of the hotel and its exceptional location make it a luxury hideaway sanctuary where guest can enjoy a quietly seductive atmosphere, characterized by pastel tones and an abundance of light coming from the outside.

The exquisite Venetian style throughout the hotel includes tailored fabrics and custom handcrafted furnishings inspired by curves of gondolas, patterns of the Doge’s Palace, pavements of St. George’s churchyard and the Grand Canal itself. An eclectic collection of artwork and sculptures inspired by the artistic heritage of the city will also be curated, bringing ancient Venice to today’s luxury travelers in a modern way. The interiors pay homage to the reflection of light across the Grand Canal where a series of contemporary paintings by resident artist Olivier Masmonteil celebrate Monet’s mastery of capturing the special light of Venice.

Inspired by the Venetian masterpieces of former guest and Impressionist painter Claude Monet, the interiors of the refined guest rooms showcase a distinctive color palette that represents how light changes throughout the day, from dawn to dusk. The design of the public spaces pays homage to Carlo Scarpa, one of Venice’s greatest artists and architects. St. Regis’ spacious secluded garden sets the hotel apart, making it a lifestyle destination where guests and locals can enjoy remarkable views of the Grand Canal.

Uncompromising glamour extends naturally to the hotel’s restaurants and bars. Authentic, modern Italian cuisine is celebrated at Gio’s, the hotel’s signature restaurant anchored by the Grand Canal and the hotel’s private garden, shaking up Venetian and Italian traditions. The secludedgarden, with curated landscaping, reflects a modern interpretation of classic Venice, further complemented by geometric patterning, flowering plants and fluid pathways. Designed to provide a refined space for local tastemakers and guests to mingle, here extraordinary pieces of Venetian tradition support the exclusive atmosphere of the living spaces: masterfully crafted Murano glasses and colorful details perfectly match the extraordinary views across the Grand Canal. Playful sculptures blend with the garden’s décor and discreet seating to offer guests a moment of introspection away from the crowds, sipping a typical Venetian Spritz.
