Londra Palace Venezia

Open since 1853 on the Riva degli Schiavoni, this Relais & Chateaux hotel is known as the 'hotel with a hundred windows' and counts Tchaikovsky among past guests. Its 52 rooms face the lagoon or San Zaccaria, and the ground-floor LPV restaurant and terrace look across the Bacino di San Marco.

Part of the Outbound Stays collection, Londra Palace Venezia is one of the places we think is genuinely worth the journey in Italy — chosen for its character, its design and the experience of staying there.
