The History - The original core of Venice’s Hotel Londra Palace dates back to 1853. It was known first as the Hotel d’Angleterre & Pension and then the Londres. In 1865 the Beau Rivage was built, in neo-Lombardy style, with a connecting link to the Hôtel d’Angleterre. The raising of the old building’s roof in the ’50s and the last and the most recent renovation of the facade and interior public spaces gave the hotel its current appearance. The name “Londra Palace” dates from the ’70s. The Hotel Londra Palace numbers among its most illustrious guests, the Russian composer Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky, who composed the first three movements of his Symphony No. 4, originally entitled the “do Leoni,” in room 106 in December “1877”.

Rooms & Suites - The Londra Palace has 53 rooms, each one different from the others in terms of furnishings, good quality tapestries and brocades, and marble bathrooms. Each one is equipped with all the comforts of a luxury hotel.

Dining - The Do Leoni Restaurant focuses on the unique and magical moment of the evening, without haste, with an elegant service where creative dishes and important wine selections stand out, carefully matched to the dishes.
