Hotel Metropole Venezia

Such a beautiful hotel and collection of arts. Sitting on the rio de la pleta and overlooking the Venice lagoon, the Metropole hotel was amazing. You are within 5 minutes of San Marco square and 3 minutes from the Bridge of Sighs. Venice blew us away and the Metropole was icing on the cake.

The shower in the bathroom of room 149 had no screen so water flooded the room each time we used it. My brother’s room 155 had no hot water!

Staff were mostly very pleasant but one man on reception was unhelpful.

The hotel is looking a bit tired in places although this might be the look they are going for!

About a ten minute walk to St marks square and I would highly recommend taking the delightful back streets to avoid large crowds especially at Bridge of Sighs.

I probably would not return unless they were offering a very good rate. We paid over €500 per night for basic garden view rooms.

The service was amazing, treated like family when you walk in the door. The bartenders are masters of their craft, some of the best drinks ever. Giuliano is one of the best consigliere’s.

Def. a different experience. Spooky in a way but charming, elegant and cozy at the same time. The rooms look old but that is its originality, the spa is to dye for as you can rent the room for yourself and your spouse. The food is devine and they treat you like roalty.

We haven’t stayed at the hotel we go to the bar there because it’s absolutely sumptuous and the cocktails that are made by Lino. The head bar man are out of this world. Incredible! You can tell him your personality and he will create a cocktail for you, and I guarantee you will love it.!!!!

This recommendation is for the spa.

90 mins exclusive access including massage, steam room, rainfall shower, & epic jacuzzi / sauna? This was excellent, I thoroughly recommend booking for 2 & having a glorious relaxation.

This is as good as it gets in Venice. Stylish and distinctive (antiques galore, dark red theme, Chinese/oriental features), but not snooty. Family run hotel, not a chain. Calm, friendly and efficient service.

The hotel was one of my favorite hotels of all of the hotels that stayed in during these 12 days trip through Europe. I felt so...so...I am not sure that I can even put it into words.

The staff was chef's kiss. The breakfast buffet I can say enough about it. The chef actually makes the butter from scratch. The marmalades from scratch. Like this place is so divine!

The bathroom toiletries; OMG. Smells so good! I have literally been slowly using the body oil because I don't want to run out. I genuinely cannot say enough about this place.

And the story behind the dad that owned it and the son taking over. I love how the decor of the hotel is primarily made up of all of his dad's collectibles throughout his years.

This was the first hotel we stayed at upon starting our vacation in Venice and it truly set our expectations very high! Juliano and his staff were so professional and accommodating, they provided us with recommendations for Murano & Burano Island excursions straight from the hotel. Walking maps of Venice as well as recommendations for restaurants and shopping. The hotel is beautiful and ornate, going down for breakfast each morning in the courtyard was delightful! The fresh fruit and pastries were delicious! Beds were soft, pillows were comfortable, robes were provided. This hotel is right on the water in the middle of everything, a short walk in either direction and there's plenty of places for coffee, drinks, lunch and dinner. The staff was truly the best, so accommodating and welcoming each time you enter or exit, quick to help you out in anyway. Would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a full exquisite experience in Venice, when you get there please ask for Juliano, he handles all guest services and is warm and professional!
