Hotel Gabrielli in Venezia, open June–September.
Hotel Gabrielli sits directly on Venice's main waterfront promenade, meaning your guests arrive by boat and step straight into the action rather than navigating hidden side streets.
This 4-star property offers 110 rooms across a restored palazzo, with multiple event spaces that open onto the lagoon.
The location eliminates the logistical puzzle most Venice weddings face: getting everyone to the same place without getting lost in the maze.
Absolutely Extraordinary. This is a new hotel, fully and beautifully remodeled so disregard an old reviews. Blessed to stay at many of the world’s great hotels this is as good as it gets. Every design element is stunning. The service is impeccable. Nicola and his concierge team are warm, inviting and top notch. Definitely suggest using their private water taxi which is a beautiful boat that soars above the usual. This is a gem of a hotel!
