NH Collection Grand Hotel Dei Dogi

"I picked this hotel for the beautiful historical building and quiet, highly desirable location. If you’ve been to Venice before, you know that it suffers from overtourism in areas around the grand canal or St. Mark’s basilica. This NH is in the lovely Cannaregio neighborhood, which has a peaceful and tranquil vibe. The hotel and its garden (the largest in Venice) is beautiful and well kept. The rooms accommodate their historical building and are not opulent, but are sufficient considering the context. Staff are all friendly and they made a note to bring a special dessert for celebrating an occasion, but there are some misses on service follow-through. I did not get housekeeping between 8:20am and 2:40pm, which is when I was out the room and in town. It’s unusual for NH properties not to be more diligent about servicing around the guests. And, on the day of departure, the hotel did not confirm a water taxi to be ready when we needed them by. While frustrating lapses in some service, the location and the beautiful setting still earn this property 5 stars. I think the rooms were under $800/night each, which delivers strong value for a 5-star hotel in Venice."

"Beautiful hotel, and Tahani was super kind helpful and sweet, she is the best."

"We had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful hotel for 3 nights in May 2026, during a 14 day Italy trip planned and booked by Chris from Destination Masters in Garden Grove, CA. We were met by hotel staff in their beautiful lobby. Amazing chandeliers and classic Venetian decor. The man who checked us in was “indifferent” to our party however did his job. We were assigned a “lagoon view” room, even though we booked a “canal” view. Not sure why or if this was an upgrade or lateral room category. To get to our room, we had to walk through a beautiful garden area with lounge chairs and umbrellas. Our room did overlook the Venetian Lagoon and the location was very quiet. These rooms had a common patio area with comfortable chairs, a sofa and tables to enjoy while looking out towards the lagoon. The room itself was a mixture of modern and old school Venetian workmanship. The room was very comfortable. The only drawback was that it was on the second floor, which required walking up a flight of stairs, and then 4 more steps upon entry to get to the main living area. Also, to enter the bathroom required stepping down 2 steps, not the best when it is dark or if you have mobility issues. The coolest thing about staying in the lagoon rooms is that it has a private boat dock just steps away. On a tour to Murano and Burano, the boat operator picked us up from the canal at the front of the hotel and returned us to the private dock next to our room. It was as if we were “rich and famous”, LOL. The in room coffee maker was fantastic and we made use if it every morning. The daily housekeeping of our room was spot on. The breakfast at this hotel was top shelf with many hot entrees, great fresh fruit selections, cereals, yogurt, pastries along with an attentive service staff. With the exception of the man who checked us in, the entire staff did a wonderful job to ensure we had a wonderful stay. For all of these reasons, I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone wishing a first class experience"
