Venice is a city of timeless charm, and Baglioni Hotel Luna offers an ideal location for discovering its wonders. Nestled literally steps away from Piazza San Marco, this luxurious hotel, which was incidentally the first five-star luxury hotel in the city, invites you to immerse yourself in Venetian culture, history, and cuisine. Here’s how to make the most of your stay.

Explore Piazza San Marco

Baglioni Hotel Luna is the closest hotel to the heart of Venice’s most iconic landmark, Piazza San Marco. Stroll through the piazza and visit the awe-inspiring St. Mark’s Basilica and the grand Doge’s Palace. The square is alive with history and surrounded by intricate architecture that captures Venice’s rich past. A great tip is to visit late at night, as you will be less than 30 seconds from the square. There is nothing more beautiful than hearing midnight strike as you take in the beauty around you.

 
Experience Venice’s Canals by Gondola

No visit to Venice is complete without a gondola ride through its winding canals. From the comfort of a traditional gondola, you can glide beneath the city's famous bridges, past ancient palazzos, and witness Venice from an unforgettable perspective. A gondola tour is the ultimate way to experience the city’s serene beauty. One added benefit is that Baglioni Hotel Luna has its very own jetty and gondola tours are available outside the main entrance.

Savor a Codega Dinner

For a truly immersive cultural experience, indulge in a Codega dinner. This special dining tradition, led by a Codega (a local guide in intricate costume), takes you on a journey through Venice’s culinary heritage and labyrinth of alleyways, complete with fascinating stories and historical insights. It’s a unique way to experience the flavors and traditions of Venice, with a rich sense of history.

Caffè Florian and Venice’s Cultural Gems

Venice is a city rich in culture, and no visit is complete without stopping by Caffè Florian, the world-famous café in Piazza San Marco. After enjoying your freshly-brewed coffee, explore nearby cultural landmarks, such as La Fenice Theater and Venice’s stunning cathedrals. With its walkable layout, sustainable Venice invites you to discover its beauty on foot, making every stroll a journey through time.

Indulge in Baglioni Luxury

After exploring the city, return to Baglioni Hotel Luna for a luxurious retreat. Pamper yourself with a spa treatment at the Baglioni Spa or enjoy authentic Venetian cuisine at Canova Restaurant. For a true Venetian touch, contemplate the beauty of the Marco Polo ballroom, adorned with original tapestries crafted by Tiepolo’s pupils. These exquisite offerings ensure your stay is one of unparalleled luxury.

Venice, with its rich history, romantic canals, and cultural treasures, is an unforgettable destination—and Baglioni Hotel Luna puts it all at your fingertips. Whether you’re wandering through Piazza San Marco or relaxing in the hotel's elegant surroundings, every moment in Venice is one you will remember forever.
