A perfect blend of history, culture, and relaxation, Hotel Excelsior is located in a masterful 20th-century Venetian construction, right on the beach of Venice Lido. Featuring 196 rooms and suites—all with exterior views of the sea, Venice’s lagoon, or the picturesque courtyard—the interiors are bedecked with giant mirrors, elegant light fixtures, and a pastel palette of classic-contemporary decor. The Excelsior boasts five restaurants and bars, a pool and fitness center, and access to beachside lounge chairs and refreshments.
