Why this one

Baglioni Hotel Luna sits in the heart of Venice, two minutes from St Mark's Square. The location is the single most praised feature in the 43 reviews we read: 14 of them (33%) mention it first, often with the phrase "great location near St." That is not a marketing line, it is the reason many guests book and the reason they would return. The staff come up almost as often, 13 reviews (30%), with comments like "Lovely hotel, fantastic staff." Service is described as attentive and refined, and several guests note that the concierge team helped plan their stay before arrival. The restaurant and lobby bar are highlighted in 10 reviews (23%), one guest calling the lobby bar "another highlight." Breakfast gets 7 mentions (16%) and is called "standard" and "good" by different guests. Cleanliness appears in 4 reviews (9%), always positively: "Spotlessly clean, with impeccable, warm and attentive staff." This is an old Venetian palazzo with a sense of history. Guests who love traditional design and atmosphere tend to be delighted. Those who prefer modern minimalism should look elsewhere.

The bit the hotel does not tell you

Several guests mention arriving by water taxi directly to the hotel door, which is a practical detail if you are coming from the airport. The lobby bar is a favourite spot not just for guests but for an aperitivo before dinner. If you want a quieter room, ask for one facing the inner courtyard rather than the street.
