Westin Excelsior Palace *****
Lungomare Marconi 41 - 30126 Venice (Lido di Venezia)

The charm - and expense - of The Westin Excelsior on Venice Lido, with its exclusive private beaches, is legendary. Overlooking the beach and just a short boat ride from Piazza San Marco (St. Mark's Square), the hotel emphasises Venetian cuisine at its three restaurants. Ivory stucco and crystal chandeliers create an atmosphere of refinement throughout. Lounge by the pool, refine your tennis game on the clay courts, and enjoy water sports, from parasailing to water-skiing.
