Londra Palace

A hotspot for the rich and famous since the mid 1800s, the Londra Palace is where Tchaikovsky composed the majority of his Fourth Symphony. Whether he was inspired by the Venetian sights or the hotel's many delights, it was here that he created some of his favourite and most renowned work. Decades later, this five-star hotel is still orchestrating the Venetian city break to perfection.

Situated on the sweeping Riva degli Schiavoni waterfront, the hotel is located just a few minutes on foot from attractions like St Mark’s Square and the Doge's Palace, while water taxis can be hailed right outside the hotel’s front door. 

Need a rest? The rooms here feature luxurious beds and exquisite design features, with most offering scenic views over the San Marco Basin. All rooms are fully-equipped with WiFi, a TV, and a minibar. The hotel also offers friendly babysitting and wake-up services. 

Feeling peckish? Head to the hotel’s award-winning restaurant, which serves modern Venetian cuisine in stylish surroundings. When the weather’s nice, you can enjoy breakfast and dinner on a terrace overlooking the waterfront, while the hotel’s bar is a prime spot for coffees and cocktails.
