The honest take
Both sit in San Marco, a few steps apart, but the Nolinski Venezia costs less than half what the St. Regis asks and carries a 9.8 from 639 reviews against the St. Regis's much smaller sample. The St. Regis has a fitness room the Nolinski lacks; the Nolinski counters with a bar and pet-friendliness the St. Regis doesn't list. For most travellers the Nolinski's price, review volume and near-identical location make it the easy call, unless the St. Regis's palazzo pedigree and gym matter more than the saving.
The look and the feel
The St. Regis Venice
The St. Regis occupies a converted patrician palazzo on the Grand Canal, restored with the brand's signature formality: Frette linens, down comforters, gilt mirrors and heavy drapery in the guestrooms, a mix of Murano glass and contemporary furnishing in the public spaces. Gio's Restaurant looks over the water, and the two bars lean into that old-Venice hush, dark wood, low light, the kind of room where conversation drops to a murmur. It's the sort of hotel built for guests who want the ceremony of a grand European address, staff who know your name by the second morning, and the reassurance of a global luxury brand layered over a historic shell.
Guests who want the full palazzo-on-the-canal experience, a gym, and the specific reassurance of the St. Regis name, and don't mind paying for it.
Nolinski Venezia
The Nolinski, the Venetian outpost of the French Nolinski group, works a cooler, more architectural register: art deco lines, marble floors, a restrained palette of stone, brass and dark timber rather than brocade and gilt. It has an indoor pool, a terrace, and a bar that reads more convivial than hushed, closer to a Parisian grand café transplanted onto a Venetian campo than to a palazzo drawing room. The near-perfect guest scores suggest a hotel that delivers on service and comfort without the theatrical weight of the older grande dames nearby.
Guests who want five-star Venetian comfort, a pool and a lively bar at roughly half the nightly rate, with a proven track record from hundreds of recent guests.
Choosing the Nolinski over the St. Regis means giving up the on-site fitness room; everything else on offer is comparable or, on paper, slightly more generous at the Nolinski.
The St. Regis wins on pure architectural romance, a genuine Grand Canal palazzo, but the Nolinski's cleaner deco lines and pool make it the more interesting room to actually spend an evening in.

“If you looking for a centrally located Hotel in San Marco, this is a great choice”
Our room was very comfortable and spacious. Staff were welcoming and accommodating
We would have preferred a hotel closer to the canal so you could see the water, however this isn’t the hotel’s fault
