Londra Palace Venezia, a 171-year-old Venetian hotel, has reopened its doors following an extensive renovation.

Designed by Studio Ruberti Cutillo, a Venetian-based firm, the hotel retains its historical authenticity, and following extensive research, debuts fresh interiors that celebrate both expressionism and modern Venetian aesthetics, giving new life to the iconic hotel.

Inspired by the historic Veneto villas, Londra Palace Venezia’s new décor draws from quintessential Venetian silks, tactile velvets, and lavish brocades to create modernised renditions, updated with playful geometric prints and abstract figures. Fortuny chandeliers and Rubelli textiles reflect the vibrant, artisanal spirit of a modern Venice, while acknowledging the ancestral craftsmanship and aesthetic of its past.

The property’s crown jewel is its top-floor Panoramic View Suite, which features a spacious private patio with views of the lagoon and city centre. As part of its revitalisation, it also includes two signature suites – the Suite Verne and Suite Borges, which pay tribute to French writer Jules Verne and poet and scholar Jorge Luis Borges.

The hotel’s public spaces include a distinctive lounge with Murano chandeliers and d’antan mirrors set against rich velvet seating, providing a genial living room space for guests and locals alike.
