The Venice Times, Vignette Collection invites guests to experience Venice in a new way, blending art and history in an intimate immersive flow. Hidden in the Cannaregio neighbourhood, the largest of the city’s six boroughs, the hotel is designed on a mantra where art is not decoration but part of the experience. With curated artworks displayed across the hotel intended to prompt meaningful conversation, it’s a return to the Venetian notion of culture as something to experience, discuss, and make your own. The Venice Times Hotel is a modern venetian salon where every detail invites reflection, conversation and the quiet joy of discovery. Guests can immerse themselves in art, literature and thought, discovering stories that awaken the soul and elevate the journey beyond the ordinary. The charm of the intimate property lies in every object telling a story, as art quietly accompanies life across 30 thoughtfully curated rooms.

The hotel offers a tranquil base to explore Venice, located just steps away from the Casino, Ca’ d’Oro, and the Grand Canal, while the Teatro La Fenice and the Rialto Bridge are only a 15-minute walk away. For international visitors, Marco Polo airport is a 20-minute shuttle away, and Venice Santa Lucia Train Station is just 200 meters on foot.

Central to Vignette Collection is the balance of individuality and belonging. A family of like-minded hotels, each property is entirely individual in its identity yet unified by the vision to offer a more authentic way to travel. Travel that is sustainably synonymous with luxury, distinction, elegance, and intrigue.

This sense of individuality is encapsulated with the Manuzio Lounge, a sanctuary within the hotel perfect for taking a moment to enjoy a signature cocktail or cicchetti (a Venetian snack) in a tranquil, intimate setting, complete with a secret garden made to escape the hustle and bustle of the city streets and a rarity for such a prime location.

Each Vignette Collection hotel is unique in its design yet unified by the brand’s collective vision to offer a more authentic travel experience. The brand seamlessly weaves responsibility with community and locality to bring both socially empowering and environmentally conscious experiences to its guests around the world.

Means For Good initiatives weaved throughout all Vignette Collection properties represent each hotel’s commitment to responsibility, community engagement, and local culture with a commitment to tailoring initiatives to suit the unique character of each hotel, they partner with non-profit organizations to contribute positively to the local ecosystem. At The Venice Times, this commitment comes to life through support of the restoration of the Naval History Museum of Venice via Italy's Art Bonus programme. By contributing to the preservation of one of the city's most significant cultural landmarks, the hotel helps safeguard Venice's rich maritime heritage while reinforcing its commitment to protecting the cultural identity that makes the destination unique for future generations.

Memorable Rituals – bespoke to each Vignette Collection property – connect guests with the hotel’s unique identity, locality, and cultural landscape. The Venice Times, Vignette Collection invites guest to create art in line with the history of the property, using a bespoke moveable-type kit in the lobby to make personalized postcards inspired by Aldo Manuzio, former resident and pioneering Italian Renaissance printer. Guests can further immerse themselves in Venetian culture with one off events with local artisans, such as mask-making, and photography tours.

The Venice Times, Vignette Collection joins a global portfolio of over 34 Vignette Collection hotels found in 17 countries. For more information or to book a stay, visit the hotel’s website here. IHG One Rewards members can also book directly using the IHG One Rewards mobile app.
