The honest take
Book Palazzo Venart: at $1,279 against $3,716, with a 9.7 rating from 219 reviews and a two-Michelin-star restaurant on site, it is the sharper bet by a wide margin. The St. Regis has the spa, pool, fitness room and rooftop that Venart lacks, and sits closer to St Mark's Square, which matters if that view and walk are the point of the trip. Both are five-star and about a kilometre apart, so the choice is really pool-and-square versus canal-and-kitchen.
The look and the feel
The St. Regis Venice
The St. Regis occupies a row of former patrician palazzi facing the Grand Canal, redone with the brand's usual polish: down comforters, Frette linen, individually decorated rooms that lean toward soft neutrals and gilt rather than anything more austere. Gio's restaurant does Mediterranean food with a canal terrace, and there are two bars for the evening crowd. It reads as international five-star first, Venetian palazzo second, which suits guests who want a name they trust and the amenities that come with it.
Guests who want a full-service five-star with spa, pool and rooftop and a short walk to St Mark's Square.
Palazzo Venart Luxury Hotel
Palazzo Venart is a genuine 16th-century palazzo on the Grand Canal in Santa Croce, restored with an eye for the building's own bones: marble bathrooms, high frescoed or beamed ceilings depending on the room, and a walled garden courtyard that is rare for Venice and used for breakfast and drinks in warm weather. The main draw is Glam, Enrico Bartolini's two-Michelin-star restaurant, which brings a different, more serious kind of guest than a typical hotel dining room. It sits a few minutes from the train station, in a quieter stretch of the canal than San Marco, with the calmer, more residential feel that side of the city has after dark.
Guests who want a historic palazzo, a serious restaurant, and calm canal-side surroundings at roughly a third of the price.
Choosing Palazzo Venart means giving up the spa, pool, fitness room and rooftop that the St. Regis offers, along with proximity to St Mark's Square itself.
Palazzo Venart is the more beautiful place to actually sit in: a real 16th-century structure with a walled garden and a kitchen worth the trip, against a competently dressed international five-star.
