Rediscovering Venice!
Pros:

We had a very nice stay at the hotel. The staff is very friendly and the breakfast was outstanding. We dont do reviews but we wanted to post it this time as the staff really deserves it, from the reception, to the concierge desk, and the pier team, everyone made us feel at home. We stayed for 3 nights and the concierge made us a fantastic itinerary, offering options out of the box as foraging in the Sant erasmo island, or going for a morning in the market, and play golf at the Lido (yes there is a golf course in venice also a very nice tennis facility right across the hotel). This is our third visit to Venice, and it felt like the first time. Staying at Lido and going to Venice for restaurants or art, is the best thing to do if is not your first visit. Lido has a great beach as well, and lots os things to do. We will be back. Thank you Donatella at breakfast for taking such a great care of us and Sandro at Concierge for all the support organizing our trip. GM Brito, thank you for showing us around and for your hospitality! We will be back!

Too short to sum up
Pros:

Locatiom

Cons:

My husband ordered spaggetti tti con vongole and it was the worst he has ever had! Unfortunately he could not even eat it and had to send it back. We were extremely surprised at this being right on the water.

Relaxing stay at the Excelsior
Pros:

We have stayed at the Hotel Excelsior Venice for two nights after a busy 3 days in Venice. The Lido is the opposite comparing to Venice, more chill, but with lots of shops and restaurants, without the huge traffic of tourists. The team at the hotel bar is very kind and the cocktails were great! The room was one of the renovated ones and we had a great sleep. I cannot wait to be back in the summer.
