“Tucked away on the private Isola delle Rose, JW Marriott Venice Resort & Spa will take your Italian getaway to the next level.”
Rooms
Accommodations range from light-flooded suites in the main building to split-level lofts in La Maisonette with private garden terraces.
“the island is green and spacious, the facilities are many, and the hotel is well run, but you’re a long, long way from the city center.”
Wellness
The expansive spa features a heated indoor-outdoor vitality pool, traditional hammam, bio-sauna, and a fourth-floor rooftop infinity pool with skyline views.
Backstory
The island once housed a 1930s pulmonary clinic, whose original brick structures were preserved to create a secluded wellness sanctuary.
Eat & drink
Dine on lagoon seafood at Agli Amici Dopolavoro, or sip spritzes alongside cicchetti at the fourth-floor Sagra Rooftop Restaurant.
The neighborhood
A complimentary twenty-minute water shuttle connects the secluded lawns of Isola delle Rose directly to the bustle of Piazza San Marco.

The app
This is one hotel. The app has every one we rate, in your pocket, for the whole trip.
Our shorthand
What makes a hotel special, how well they pull it off, and what it feels like outside the door.
How well they pull it off
Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.
Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
They did this well. You’ll notice.
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
The eight vibes
Architecture and interiors lead. There’s a creative vision at work.
The guest is conspicuously well cared for. Requests met before they’re made.
Rooted in place. Local character runs through the whole stay.
Energy and scene. Where the city goes out, whether or not it’s sleeping here.
A building with history. The story of the place is part of the stay.
Built around feeling better. Rest, sweat, soak, spa.
A hotel the city grew up with. Same rituals, same regulars.
A world of its own. No reason to leave the property.
Scene — what’s outside the door
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
A place apart: the property is the destination.
