Venice is a city that whispers romance, and nowhere is that whisper clearer than at Luna Hotel Baglioni. Tucked just steps from St. Mark’s Square, this legendary five-star retreat offers guests a stay that is as poetic as the city itself—where aristocratic elegance meets Venetian charm, and every detail is designed to stir emotion.
Imagine arriving by gondola to a private dock, gliding past Renaissance palaces and soft-lit canals. You’re welcomed with warm courtesy, then shown to a room steeped in history and comfort. It’s not just hospitality—it’s Venice at its most graceful.
A Historic Home with a View
Housed in an elegant palace that dates back centuries, Luna Hotel Baglioni overlooks St. Mark’s Basin and the island of San Giorgio Maggiore. Its location places you in the heart of Venice, yet just far enough from the bustle to enjoy a moment of serenity.
The hotel blends 18th-century splendor with the comforts of contemporary luxury. Marble floors, Murano glass chandeliers, silk tapestries, and brocade fabrics create an ambiance of timeless refinement, while modern technology—high-speed internet, iPod docks, and satellite TV—ensures complete convenience.
Rooms That Reflect a City’s Soul
The rooms and suites are designed to offer a deeply immersive experience in Venetian culture and style.
- Superior Rooms are bathed in soft pastels, with Murano glass accents and refined furnishings.
- Deluxe Doubles (39 in total) feature sitting areas, antique art pieces, and elegant silk upholstery—ideal for business or leisure with a touch of aristocratic grace.
The hotel’s signature suites offer some of the most enchanting views and interiors in the city:

A private cloakroom, modern amenities, and full VIP service complete the experience.
A Taste of Venice at Canova Restaurant
The hotel’s Canova Restaurant, named for 18th-century Venetian sculptor Antonio Canova, is a culinary haven—intimate, award-winning, and timeless. With seating for just 65 guests, the restaurant offers Venetian classics and Mediterranean cuisine, interpreted with contemporary flair by Chef Giampaolo Cosimo, whose global experience spans Moscow, Tokyo, Dubai, London, and Singapore.
Each dish is crafted with fresh, local ingredients and served with world-class wines. Accolades include the Golden Fogher and the Gambero Rosso Award, cementing its place among the city’s top dining destinations.
The Marco Polo Lounge & Caffè Baglioni
Begin the day—or unwind in the evening—in the Salone Marco Polo, a frescoed salon adorned with works by artists from Tiepolo’s School. Here, breakfast becomes a refined affair.
Later, retreat to Caffè Baglioni, an elegant canal-side lounge with views of the Royal Gardens. Whether for an aperitivo or a quiet coffee, it’s the perfect place to savor the rhythm of the city.
