NH Collection Venezia Murano Villa occupies the beautifully reimagined former De Majo glass factory, next door to the Glass Museum. Step outside and you’re within minutes of galleries, furnaces offering live glass-blowing demonstrations and boutiques selling one-of-a-kind pieces.

Restaurants and Bars
Start the day in style with breakfast in the hotel restaurant, where you can expect a generous buffet spread of continental and hot options, Italian pastries and good coffee – ideal fuel for exploring the canals.
De Majo Restaurant & Terrace nods to the building’s glass-making past and serves refined Italian and international dishes in a contemporary space, spilling out to an atmospheric outdoor terrace when the weather’s warm.
There are two hotel bars to choose from, perfect for an aperitivo or nightcap. Sip a spritz or local wine while looking out over the lagoon or the hotel’s design-forward interiors, then wander back to your room in minutes.
Pool Areas and Beach
There is no pool or beach at NH Collection Venezia Murano Villa; this is very much a city-and-lagoon escape. Instead, the focus is on comfortable, stylish spaces for relaxing between sightseeing, plus waterfront strolls and slow vaporetto rides across the lagoon. In summer, you can head to Venice Lido by boat if you fancy a classic Italian beach day.
Spa, Sports and Other Facilities
The compact but inviting spa centre is a real highlight after hours on your feet in Venice’s calli and campi. Expect a soothing, design-led wellness area and a menu of massages and treatments (local charges apply; age restrictions may apply).
Beyond the spa, facilities typically include:
• Stylish lobby and lounge spaces in the restored factory building
• 24-hour reception and concierge for restaurant bookings, vaporetto advice and lagoon excursions
• Free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel
• Lift access serving the five floors
• Luggage storage for early arrivals or late departures
Sports and organised entertainment are minimal – the hotel is designed as a calm base for independent exploration rather than a resort-style stay.
