Can’t wait to go back
I spent one week at the Excelsior and had a delightful time. The approach to the hotel via the hotels private dock is picturesque. Having complementary boat service to San Marco, almost every hour, every day makes a stay on Lido a good choice. The breakfast buffet located on the beach behind the cabanas is very good and includes a wide choice of fresh fruits, eggs, pancakes, baked goods and esspresso or whatever you choose to drink, including Pressco. The hotel staff is very helpful and responsive. The staff changes towels twice a day and cleans up the room. Many rooms have fabric covered walls with a Moorish theme. 1/4 of the hotel borders a street, which I would not recommend as there are noisy motor bikes well into the night. The other 3 sides are very nice with either views of a garden or the beach. There is also a bar with a beautiful terrace that looks out over the Adriatic Sea. We had supper at the restaurant one evening, it was good but not great. For instance we ordered sword fish and were served something else. In summary it is an exceptional 100 year old hotel that has been well cared for and is an easy boat ride from the crowds in Venice.
There were many families with children staying in the hotel. They seemed to enjoy being there. I would encourage families to stay at the hotel.

Lovely hotel
The Excelsior offers a wonderful balance for a trip to venice. Don’t worry that it seems you are away from venice centre it is a lovely respite from the busyness. The hotel boat service across to Venice is very romantic if you time it with a sunset. We enjoyed the balance of bustling venice with having rest days by the hotel pool and on the beach and eating breakfast everyday overlooking the beach was a real treat. Our room was excellent - we did ask about a seaview room but it was too expensive to upgrade, we ended up being really happy with our room (547) as it was a much better view over Venice.
Traveller's tip on dining
To eat close to the hotel - go out the main entrance, turn left and there is a restaurant a 5 minute walk away on the beach that does a great calzone!

Fab Hotel!
I really loved it! It had a great swimming pool and a beach and the food was fantastic. It was nice taking the boat to Venice and back.
Traveller's tip on saving a few bucks
If you decide to get to the hotel by water bus, WARNING! It’s rather a long walk from the stop on the Lido.
