Londra Palace
A boutique waterfront hotel on the Riva degli Schiavoni with lagoon views and a literary past.
The call
Worth it if you only have one day and you're traveling as a couple.
Short answer
Is Londra Palace worth it?
Londra Palace deserves a place on most first itineraries.
The answer depends on your budget, time and travel style; the breakdown below shows who gets the most value.
Why
- 01
Smaller and more personal than the grand palaces nearby, with '100 windows on the lagoon' and a quietly elegant, design-conscious feel.
- 02
Tchaikovsky reputedly composed here; today it's an intimate luxury base steps from San Marco.

History and culture matter to you
Londra Palace offers some history & culture, but not enough to make it the reason to go.
What you're near — and what you're not
- San Marco and the Doge's Palace (short walk)
- Lagoon waterfront views
- San Zaccaria vaporetto stop
- Quiet streets — the riva promenade is busy
- Cannaregio and the less-touristed quarters
What you're paying for
An intimate room count, with the lagoon-facing rooms the clear standouts for their light and views. Interiors are elegant and individually styled rather than uniform. Spring for a lagoon view if you can.
