Description

Hotel Excelsior Venice Lido Resort is a historic 5-star hotel constructed in 1908 and renovated in 2013. It offers 197 rooms across 7 floors, many featuring views of the Adriatic Sea or Venice lagoon. The hotel’s private sandy beach is just 10 meters away, with umbrellas and loungers available for a fee. Guests can enjoy a range of amenities including an outdoor seasonal pool, fitness center, tennis court, kids’ club, and multiple dining options like a restaurant, bar, and tavern. The hotel provides free shuttle boat service to Venice’s San Marco Square, with a journey time of approximately 15-20 minutes. Its Moorish-style rooms combine classic elegance with modern comforts such as air conditioning and free Wi-Fi. While the hotel impresses with its spacious rooms and attentive service, some guests note that certain areas show signs of aging and additional charges apply for some services.

Location

Located on the Lungomare Marconi 41 in Lido, the hotel stands directly on Lido Beach, offering beachfront access without crossing streets. It is approximately 11 km from Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE). The hotel’s private shuttle boat to San Marco Square departs every 30 minutes during the day, taking about 15-20 minutes to reach central Venice. Nearby dining options include Restaurant La Taverna (61 m), Ristorante La Terrazza (94 m), and Ristorante Tropicana & La Terrazza (256 m). Lido itself is quieter and more relaxed compared to Venice, making the hotel a peaceful retreat with convenient water transport links.

Tips

Book early to secure a sea view room for the best experience, especially the Grand Deluxe Sea View.
Use the free shuttle boat to explore Venice but arrive at the dock at least 5 minutes early to avoid missing departure.
Consider dining off-site or at nearby restaurants to avoid high prices at hotel beach bars and cabanas.

A magnificent hotel with an endless beach, excellent service, and very good cuisine. I recommend it.

03.08.2025 Drew

Hotel Excelsior in Venice is truly next level — absolutely amazing in every way!

From the moment we booked, the service was impeccable. The hotel arranged our water taxi pickup from the airport, which made our arrival smooth and stress-free. Unfortunately, our luggage didn’t arrive with us, but the concierge team was incredible — they took charge, constantly followed up, and worked tirelessly until our bags were safely returned. That kind of dedication meant the world to us.

Our room was spotless, beautifully designed, and we were lucky enough to stay in a sea view room — waking up to that view each morning was pure magic. Every night, we were treated to strawberries and champagne in our room, and they even left special cookies for us before bed — such thoughtful, elegant touches.

The staff was beyond kind, always smiling and eager to help, especially the bar staff, who made every evening feel extra special. A very special thank you to Andrew, who went out of his way every single day to make sure we had everything we needed and more. His attention to detail and warm energy made a lasting impression.

Getting into Venice was easy and fun, thanks to the hotel’s private water taxis to San Marco Square — such a unique and convenient way to travel.

We would stay here again and again and again. From the service to the views to the people, Hotel Excelsior is truly unforgettable. Highly, highly recommend!

Booked a cabana through their beach club. The cabana was nice enough but the staff was extremely rude. Halfway through checking us in, a (higher paying) couple was escorted in by a manager, and the woman checking us in stopped helping us to attend to this couple. She personally checked them in, escorted them to their cabana and set them up, waited on them all while we were still waiting to be checked in. When she did eventually come back to finish checking us in, she gave us little to no information, told us to “follow him” (some staff member who didn’t speak to us) to our cabana.

The bar staff was rude when we tried to order drinks, the woman refilling water in the lobby rolled her eyes at us.

I typically have a pretty high tolerance for service workers not being nice because I know what it’s like to work a service job, but these people went above and beyond to make us feel unwelcome.

This hotel is a vintage gem, keep that in mind. It’s vintage. If classic Italian styling speaks to your heart and you want to enjoy Venice without the crowds, stay here. The beach was nearly private in the evening. The staff is charming, it’s a dreamy place I won’t forget soon 💚

It was very quiet at night, and the bed in the room was comfortable. I had a backache after coming from Vienna, but it was cured after one night's sleep. The room had a large bed when I checked in, but I asked to change it to a twin bed. Because the room change delayed dinner time, the manager personally served us to the restaurant and let us dine while we waited. He also provided free drinks and salad. The room was cleaned promptly during our stay, and the bed was turned down at night. The breakfast was rich, and the dinner was delicious. It was very pleasant to have a glass of wine and feel the sea breeze in the evening. The swimming pool is kept constant temperature, and the sea water is not cold enough to swim in the sea. There is also a children's playground. The hotel has a free boat to the main island every half hour, which ends at 11 pm. It is very convenient. I had a great 3-day stay and I will stay here again next time.

How this dump could be considered a 5 star L hotel is beyond belief.

Held hostage at what I know refer to as the VENICE FLY TRAP hotel. Beautiful images of hotel on their website. Complete dump inside. Completely dated decor probably from the 70's. All the carpets are stained throughout all common areas of hotel as well as the guest rooms. Doors, moldings and baseboards all chipped and lacking paint. Some serious deferred maintenance is needed. Actually a complete renovation is needed.
Shower flooded bathroom every time I took a shower.
House keeping never wiped anything down in the bathroom or main room. There was no turn down service

Rude staff wouldn't honor my reservation for a room with balcony. Basically told me I never made a reservation for room with balcony. Told me I needed to show them proof in writing . I had to have my travel agent track down in writing the room I reserved . Being 8 hours behind time wise it was 3:00 am for my travel agent. All I wanted to do was leave. They wouldn't let me have a credit for the room . The room in question was $5000.00 for a four night stay. after showing them proof in writing with a picture of a room with a balcony they still wouldn't give me a credit. They just gave me a dated, carpet stained, beat up room with a balcony.
No apology no comp no nothing.
Buyer beware

Basically the worst hotel experience I ever had.
Buyer be ware

Excellent hotel with a beautiful sea view and direct access to the beach.
It's a shame there isn't a restaurant for dinner.

02.05.2025 Pat

We had a wonderful stay here. The architecture is stunning with historic details and subtle Middle Eastern influences that make it unique. On arrival, we were greeted with a chilled bottle of prosecco and a fruit tray in our room — such a thoughtful touch.

The staff were amazing — friendly, attentive, and always helpful. Our room was very spacious with extremely comfortable beds. The bathroom was a bit dated compared to the rest of the room, but everything was clean and worked well.

Breakfast was excellent with a huge variety and high-quality food.

The location is a little removed from central Venice, which we actually liked — it was peaceful and quiet. Just keep in mind there aren’t many restaurants nearby. We usually ate in the main Venice area before heading back. The hotel shuttle was very convenient and runs late into the evening, but it is very punctual — make sure to be there at least 5 minutes early.

Overall, this hotel offers a great mix of charm, comfort, and fantastic service. Would definitely recommend if you want a quieter stay near Venice with easy access to the main attractions.

My stay at excelsior was overall pleasant, but there are some aspects that do not align with a five-star rating.
1. Breakfast Buffet: While the buffet offers a variety of options, I was surprised to find that if you want something like an omelet, you have to pay an extra €16.
2. Beach Amenities: you have to pay the tents that cost €300 per day.
3. Room Condition: The bathrooms are very dark and definitely in need of renovation.
4. Accessibility: If you don’t want to spend over an hour reaching the hotel from the airport, you need to take a water taxi, which costs €160 per trip. However, the hotel does offer free transportation to the city.
5• The staff was mixed; some were very friendly and attentive, while others were quite curt.

For a five-star hotel, these extra charges and outdated facilities were disappointing. However, the overall experience was still enjoyable thanks to the hotel’s unique charm.

05.10.2024 Henrik

Great service at this hotel and location is perfect with free shuttle boats to central Venice.
The rooms are big and the views to the beach is recommended. The decor is dated but works and there is of course turn down service at night.
