The Baglioni Hotel Luna is housed in a building that dates back to the 12th century, originally serving as the "Osteria della Luna," and later as a convent and residence of the Knights Templar. Converted into an inn in 1574, it witnessed centuries of Venetian history and welcomed notable guests such as Silvio Pellico during the Italian Risorgimento.
Acquired by the Baglioni Group in 1988, the Luna is now a refined luxury hotel featuring meticulously restored 18th-century frescoes (notably in the Marco Polo Ballroom) and lavish Venetian interiors. The palazzo retains its historical charm with marble floors, stucco decoration, Murano glass chandeliers, and art déco touches.
Rooms and Suites:
The hotel offers 91 individually styled rooms and suites, all featuring antique furnishings, damask fabrics, Murano glass chandeliers, and marble bathrooms. Superior and Deluxe rooms provide modern comforts such as LED TVs, air conditioning, and minibars. Several suites – including the "Giorgione Terrace Suite" – boast private terraces with views of St. Mark’s Square or the lagoon. The breakfast and event rooms are adorned with 19th-century frescoes and fine stucco decorations.
The Baglioni Hotel Luna enjoys a prime location in the heart of the San Marco district, at Calle Larga de l’Ascension 1243, just steps away from the monumental entrance to the Royal Gardens and St. Mark’s Square. The hotel overlooks a quiet side canal and features a private dock for direct water taxi access. From the hotel, iconic landmarks such as St. Mark’s Basilica, the Doge’s Palace, the Bell Tower, and the luxury boutiques of Calle Larga XXII Marzo are within easy walking distance. A perfect base for exploring Venice’s historic center in style and comfort.
