Hotel Excelsior Venice Lido Resort (Venice Lido, Italy)

Located 15 minutes from Venice on Lido Island, the 196-room Hotel Excelsior Venice Lido Resort brims with a Moorish-style aesthetic. Since 1932, it has played host to the world-famous Venice Film Festival. A respite from Venice and all the tourists that come with it, the hotel's beachside location offers a medley of exclusive cabanas that allow guests to catch shut-eye amidst the spellbinding sounds of the Mediterranean Sea's gentle cyclic waves.
