The Hotel Ausonia & Hungaria Wellness & SPA is an iconic 5-star hotel located on the Lido di Venezia, just a short walk from the beach and a few minutes by water bus from St. Mark’s Square. Combining history, art, and innovation, it offers an exclusive retreat where Belle Époque elegance meets modern wellness.
Originally built in 1907, the hotel is a masterpiece of Art Nouveau architecture. Its façade, entirely covered with colorful ceramic tiles designed by the master Luigi Fabris, is one of the most extraordinary examples of early 20th-century decorative art in Italy. The interiors feature original Liberty-style furniture, mosaics, and refined details that recall the golden age of Venetian hospitality.
The rooms and suites blend classical charm with contemporary comfort, each uniquely decorated with elegant fabrics, fine wooden furnishings, and Murano glass lamps. All accommodations include air conditioning, complimentary Wi-Fi, minibar, safe, satellite TV, and marble bathrooms with luxury amenities. Some rooms offer private terraces or views over the Lido and the lagoon.
The hotel’s jewel is the Ausonia Wellness & SPA, a 250-square-meter oasis dedicated to relaxation and holistic wellbeing. It features a Finnish sauna, Turkish bath, emotional showers, Himalayan salt room, and a vitality pool with chromotherapy. Guests can also enjoy a wide range of massages and exclusive Sisley Paris treatments.
The elegant Venice Essence Restaurant serves Mediterranean and Venetian cuisine reinterpreted with a creative touch, focusing on fresh local ingredients. During the summer, guests can dine outdoors in the lush garden or enjoy a cocktail at the Art Nouveau Bar.
The hotel also offers a private beach area, meeting rooms, concierge service, bicycle rental, and direct connections to Venice via vaporetto from Santa Maria Elisabetta Pier, located just a few minutes away. Private water-taxi access is also available.
With its blend of artistic heritage, wellness culture, and contemporary comfort, the Hotel Ausonia & Hungaria represents one of the most distinctive and enchanting stays on the Venetian Lido — a haven of elegance, relaxation, and history surrounded by the magic of the lagoon.
