Why Booking with a Top Marriott STARS Agency Makes All the Difference
Venice is not merely a destination—it is a living masterpiece. A city where art, history, and romance float effortlessly along the Grand Canal, choosing the right hotel is essential to experiencing Venice at its fullest. Among the city’s most prestigious addresses, The St. Regis Venice stands apart as a modern icon of refined luxury, impeccable service, and unparalleled location.
In this ultimate booking guide, we’ll explore everything you need to know about The St. Regis Venice—from its coveted location and award-winning design to its suites, dining, and insider booking strategies. Most importantly, we’ll explain why booking through Stars Desk, a top Marriott STARS agency, unlocks VIP benefits you simply cannot get elsewhere.
Why The St. Regis Venice Is Venice’s Best Address
Supremely located along the Grand Canal, directly opposite Punta della Dogana and the Basilica of Santa Maria della Salute, The St. Regis Venice occupies one of the most photogenic and strategically perfect locations in the city. Guests are just three to four minutes’ walk from St. Mark’s Square, yet enjoy a sense of privacy and calm rarely found in central Venice.
The hotel is composed of five beautifully restored 18th- and 19th-century palazzi, blending historic Venetian grandeur with strikingly modern interiors. Formerly known as the Westin Europa & Regina, the property has been fully transformed into a St. Regis masterpiece—elegant, artistic, and unmistakably contemporary.
Unlike many Venetian hotels, The St. Regis Venice also features a secluded Italianate garden, a rarity in the city, making it a true lifestyle destination for both travelers and discerning locals.
A Modern Icon with a Storied Past
For more than a century and a half, this privileged stretch of the Grand Canal has been considered one of Venice’s most prestigious addresses. Today, The St. Regis Venice honors that legacy while embracing innovation:
Avant-garde interiors paired with historic architecture
Museum-worthy art pieces throughout the hotel
Intelligent in-room technology
The legendary St. Regis Butler Service, available to all guests
This seamless balance of past and present is precisely what places The St. Regis Venice among the most coveted luxury hotels in Europe.
