Great hotel in Venice - Hotel Nani Mocenigo Palace

We just returned from a trip that took us to Venice Italy for 5 days, among other places. I wanted to share that we had a fantastic time at this little piece of Venetian luxury.

This was an all around excellent hotel. Set along a quiet canal in the Dorsodoro sestieri an away from the mobs of tourists, this hotel has a distinctively neighborhood feel. In the evening, you can expect a nice gathering of locals hanging out at the corner gelato stand or down the street at a wine bar. The area is safe, authentic, quiet, and relaxing. The closet crossing over the Grand Canal is the Accademia bridge which is less than a 10 minute walk; to be precise it only took us 5 minutes. There's a great assortment of neighborhood restaurants all within a 10 minute walk.

We had the presidential suite on the first floor and it was beyond spacious for the 3 of us. Richly appointed furnishings as you'd expect for Venice, comfortable bed, painted ceilings, an a large bathroom with separate tub and shower. Walking in the room felt like being in a museum. A remarkable experience and felt like you were sleeping in a grand palace...of course with working air conditioning and modern conveniences.

The front desk staff were an absolute pleasure to work with an always greeted us with a smile. The breakfast was ample and always tasty. The two guys working the breakfast run were always available an attentive. Food quality was great and lots of choices. All around a very good setup and we took advantage of it every morning. We also took advantage of the complimentary Murano tour which was very nice. The hotel also offered a private Grand Canal tour, for a fee, which we also utilized and it was beyond fantastic. The hotel arranged for our transportation from the airport on arrival as well as our transportation to Trieste for a cruise.

Overall - We were all extremely pleased with our stay, with the room, with the staff, and with the hotel. An absolute great group of people and made our stay in Venice truly memorable. Definitely a $$$$ rating but worth the price for the experience. Hope this helps someone.

Wow! Sounds wonderful. At $880/night it should be. Was the bed for the 3rd person a real bed or a sofa bed. I’m looking for a triple in Venice, but don’t want a sofa bed.

Hi! We had the presidential suite. There is a bedroom with a king bed or close to it. We traveled with my 70yo mom and she took the sofa bed and said it was fine. It folded out and was very comfortable. Finding a room that could accommodate 3 persons is tough.
