Luxury beach hotel
A really nice luxury beach hotel with such a good atmosphere. From the mahogany challup shuttle service to the beach cabanas Excelsior offers exceptional blend of retrospect style and comfort.
Excellent choice when visiting Venice in the summer time as you get the best of everything!
The hotel offers excellent service and hospitality and with their own boat shuttle to Venice you'll have easy access at your door step.
Staff is attentive, helpful, and although a 5 star hotel it have a relaxed feel about it.
Breakfast buffet is super!
Will come back and highly recommend.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hotel Excelsior. This was our first time in Venice and the first stay of our honeymoon and it was a great experience! We enjoyed using the provided boat taxi to and from Venice, along with the private beach access and dining options at the hotel. Breakfast in the morning was also great. We would recommend this stay for a trip to Venice!

The hotel and rooms are spacious, with great views. The hotel is old and it needs to modernise the rooms and bathrooms. Still a good relaxing holiday.

A proper 5 star Italian hotel
The exterior of the hotel majestic and beautiful.
The interior of the hotel, a little tired and the design and furniture selections do not enhance the beauty of the hotel and the surroundings.
The shuttle boat of the hotel was a big highlight as we went back and forth to Venice within 15 minutes and in a very romantic and cinematic style.
The staff were very courteous and very helpful.
We dined at the hotel restaurant and the food was beautifully presented and tasty.

Incroyable
What an incredible service! Andrea, the concierge, was amazing in helping us with transportation in Venice. The hotel-provided transport was easy to access, and even the external transport we had booked was double-checked and confirmed for us. Hats off to Andrea!
And what can I say about this hotel? The service is outstanding, the staff are so warm and welcoming. It’s phenomenal to enjoy both sides of the island – the sea on one side and Venice on the other. We truly appreciated being able to relax and soak up the sun.
Highly recommended

Simply wonderful, everything you want in a luxury hotel. The Excelsior is certainly a grand hotel, but because it’s on the beach it isn’t stuffy and strikes a perfect balance between luxurious and casual.
