Ever wondered how the other half live? Well, ponder no more and stay at the Excelsior Venezia Lido for a true taste of luxurious living. You’ll be in your own slice of Venetian Paradise on the Lido, while only being a 15-minute boat ride from St Mark’s Square where the city’s iconic canals and main attractions await.
Within the hotel, you’ll discover a captivating fusion of Belle Époque architecture and Moroccan-inspired design elements. From the courtyard fountain to the arched entryways and intricate chandeliers, every detail emits elegance and charm. Nobody could blame you if you just wanted to spend all your time under the Arab tent-like private cabanas on the beach, or by the immaculate outside swimming pool and sunbathing area.
Rooms at this veritable palace are suitably spacious, and come with modern amenities, like a flatscreen TV, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, and a minibar. Some of the regal rooms overlook the shimmering Adriatic Sea, while others have panoramic views across to Venice, or overlooking the Moorish courtyard. Each room has a private bathroom with luxury bathrobes and slippers, so you can feel comfortable in your Venetian pad.
When it comes to dining, you’re spoilt for choice. The Elimar Beach Bar and Restaurant serves Mediterranean and Italian dishes for lunch and dinner, or you can enjoy romantic candlelit dinners on the Adriatico Terrace. A perfect way to end a day here is with cocktails accompanied by live music at the Blue Bar where you can watch the sunset, before waking up and doing it all again.
Just so you know, access to the private beach is a payable at the hotel, and sunbeds are only available during the summer months (usually mid-May to mid-September, subject to change).

Find out more about Lido
Lido, in the Floating City of Venice, is a narrow, 11-kilometre-long island in the Venetian Lagoon, just south of the city’s historic centre. Once an important Italian military island forming part of the city’s defence, it’s now Venice’s hottest beach hangout. There’s a chilled-out, relaxed seaside vibe here. It’s Venice... but different!
While the city’s canals charm you across the lagoon, the Lido has a different vibe. Among the residential streets and sounds of passing vehicles, there’s a distinct atmosphere that’s a world apart from the car-free tourist centre.
In the off-season, the Lido settles into a comfortable rhythm of everyday life. You could almost forget you’re just moments away from one of the world’s most popular holiday destinations. But as summer arrives in Venice, Lido hotels open for the season, and it transforms into the Veneto region’s top seaside retreat.
Despite the laid-back beachy feel, the Lido is just minutes from all the action. In fact, it takes just five on the water bus – the Vaporetto – to get to Venice’s historic centre. Stay on the boat a little longer, and you’ll enjoy a tour of the Grand Canal as it snakes its way through the Venetian islands.
