Fascinated by Venice’s passage of light, in 1908, the illustrious impressionist painter Claude Monet took residence at The St. Regis Venice, at the time Grand Hotel Britannia, challenging the eternal beauty of the city. Start your day in a botanical breakfast at Gio’s in our Italianate private garden from where you can admire the same perspectives that inspired Monet and his masterpieces. Continue your day exploring the beautiful Venetian treasures captured by the artist.
Architecture in Venice is a breathtaking multiplicity of ornamental motifs, where a different decorative aesthetic seeps through every corner of every palazzo. This eclectic layering of styles dissipated in the city is what inspired the Venetian contemporary architect Carlo Scarpa, whose works were in turn a source of inspiration for The St. Regis Venice renovation. Scarpa’s projects are within easy discovery in Venice.
