Hotel Excelsior Venice Lido Resort is iconic—built in a Moorish‑Venetian “fantasy palace” style in 1908 and forever linked to the Venice Film Festival since hosting its first gala screening in 1932. Celebrities like George Clooney, Johnny Depp, Sandra Bullock and Greta Garbo have been among its illustrious guests.

Your Riviera-style boat journey:
Imagine departing Marco Polo Airport or Santa Lucia station, boarding a sleek private launch. You glide across the lagoon, passing gondolas and domes, the Excelsior’s pink-and-ocre façade growing larger until you’re stepping onto its dedicated dock. It’s cinematic—and made for people who prefer to arrive by sea rather than taxis.
Celeb handling—why it’s not easy for random guests:
