Historic Charm Meets Modern Design
Originally opened in 1853 and reimagined in March 2024, Londra Palace Venezia reflects a rich tapestry of Venetian history. Designed by Studio Ruberti Cutillo, the hotel’s refreshed interiors draw inspiration from historic Veneto villas, blending tactile velvets, lavish brocades, and geometric prints. The addition of Fortuny chandeliers and Rubelli textiles ensures that every corner exudes an artisanal spirit. The 100 window façade, overlooking the busy Riva degli Schiavoni, hints at the grandeur within, while the intimate scale of the property ensures a personalized stay. Londra Palace Venezia facade stands as the face of Venice and rightfully so.
Exceptional Rooms and Suites
Rooms at Londra Palace Venezia are in itself a definition of refined comfort, with seamlessly integrated modern amenities and Venetian-inspired decor, creating a serene haven for guests. For those seeking a unique experience, the Panoramic View Suite offers a spacious private patio with breathtaking views of both the lagoon and city center. Additionally, the Suite Verne and Suite Borges pay homage to Jules Verne and Jorge Luis Borges, blending literary elegance with opulent design. We stayed in the room overlooking the lagoon, with the most memorable view in Venice, where location is a dream within a dream.
Culinary Excellence with Venetian Roots
The hotel’s dining options, led by Executive Chef Daniele Galliazzo, celebrate the rich culinary heritage of Venice. LPV Ristorante offers seasonal menus inspired by water, earth, and air, featuring standout dishes like the Zucchini in saor, Zucchini cannolo stuffed with potatoes and onions, breaded and fried, served with sweet and sour sauce and a two-toned cream; and the Scampi risotto, with raw scampi, and Sichuan pepper. The rooftop Altana terrace, the tallest in the city, provides a perfect setting for a private dining experience, pairing traditional Venetian flavors with panoramic views. The terrace itself is another experience nowhere to be found in Venice itself but at Londra Palace. Meanwhile, LPV Bar serves inventive cocktails such as the Americano 4.1, crafted by Marino Lucchetti, offering a taste of old world Venice with a modern twist.
Commitment to Cultural Preservation
Beyond luxury, Londra Palace embodies a deep respect for Venetian craftsmanship. The Place of Wonders, a philanthropic initiative by The Hospitality Experience, fosters the preservation of artisanal traditions. Guests can engage in exclusive on-site visits to workshops or explore “Mano a Mano,” a collection of artisan-crafted objects displayed throughout the property. The newly introduced apprenticeship program in Murano glass bead artistry underscores the hotel’s dedication to sustaining Venice’s rich artistic legacy.
Warm Hospitality and Thoughtful Service
One of the defining aspects of Londra Palace Venezia is its exceptional service. Many staff members have been with the hotel for over a decade, showcasing a genuine investment in guest satisfaction. Their warmth and professionalism enhance every moment, ensuring that visitors leave with lasting memories.
