Splendid Venice, Luxury hotel in Mercerie district, Venice, Italy.

Splendid Venice is a four-star hotel in the Mercerie, the shopping street between St Mark's Square and the Rialto Bridge. It has 165 rooms, 16 of them suites, and a private dock on the canal for arrival by gondola or water taxi.

The building dates to the 16th century when it operated as the Black Hat Inn. It was renamed to Albergo Splendido in 1900 and became Hotel Splendid in 1930, acquiring its current identity.

The building incorporates Venetian architectural features with small Levantine-style rooms visible in the lobby area. The large covered courtyard with its glass roof creates a sheltered gathering space in the heart of the busy city.

The hotel has a private dock on the canal, so guests can arrive by gondola or water taxi. The entrance sits in the Mercerie, the shopping street linking St. Mark's Square with the Rialto Bridge, which makes the two landmarks reachable on foot.

The Presidential Suite commands a generous space with a double terrace offering direct sightlines to the Campanile and Venetian rooflines. This high vantage point allows an uncommon view of how the city's roofscape extends beyond the main squares.
