Best Resorts in Venice

Designed by famed Italian architect Matteo Thun, the JW Marriott Venice Resort & Spa offers visitors a private island setting about a mile south of the Venice city center. Although some former travelers were displeased with this JW Marriott outpost's removed location, getting to and from the city is easy thanks to the property's water shuttle service. And keep in mind, there are plenty of things to enjoy on-site: The hotel hosts a variety of activities and provides ample amenities, such as bicycles, a kids club with cooking classes and mask art projects, yoga lessons and excursions to local glass-blowing and lace-making facilities. When you're ready to relax, take a dip in one of three swimming pools, enjoy a spa treatment or sip on a coffee or glass of wine at Rose Bar Lounge. There are several on-site dining options as well, including a deli, a poolside restaurant and the upscale Fiola at Dopolavoro Venezia. When it's time for bed, retire to your modern room, suite or villa. Each features a neutral color palette and modern conveniences like a flat-screen TV, a coffee maker and Wi-Fi access. What's more, members of the Marriott Bonvoy program can cash in or earn points for choosing to bed down here.
