Welcome to The St. Regis Venice

Nodding to the hotel’s tradition of welcoming famed artists, the hotel’s first resident artist, Parisian Olivier Masmonteil, has been commissioned to create original artworks to adorn the Gran Salone, and the Monet and Presidential Suites. Capturing the attention of guests, the four stunning paintings in the Gran Salone present a contemporary interpretation of four of Tintoretto’s finest masterpieces on display at the Palazzo Ducale.

The Venetian tradition of glassmaking also lives on, celebrated through a partnership with Glasstress, the creative project of Berengo Studios. This unique project marries contemporary art and historical glass blowing techniques, and invites world-class artists of various disciplines to collaborate with Murano glass masters in the creation of bespoke works of glass art. Many of these iconic masterpieces may be admired at The St. Regis Venice.

Turner, John Singer Sargent, Franz R. Unterberger and the vanguard of French Impressionism, French painter Claude Monet. It was in the autumn of 1908 that Monet and his wife Alice spent over a month at the then Grand Hotel Britannia where he discovered the extraordinary view of San Giorgio Maggiore island from the window of his hotel room. This same view and the captivating passage of light would be one of the motifs of his Venetian "beginnings", many of which are now acclaimed masterpieces.

Noteworthy guests of the literature world have included Gabriele D'Annunzio, Gustav Mahler, and German poet Rainer Maria Rilke who during his stay at the Grand Hotel Britannia produced some of the poems collected in his work "Spaetherherbst in Venedig" and the novel "A Scene in the Venetian Ghetto". American-British writer Alice Muriel Williamson, guest of the Grand Hotel Britannia, penned it as the most comfortable hotel in Venice and the only one with a garden on the Grand Canal in her 1905 novel "My Friend the Chauffeur". American writer and artist Francis Hopkinson Smith frequently spent his summers in Venice at the Grand Hotel Britannia, including the hotel and the garden in his work "Gondola Days".
