Westin Europa and Regina

The hotel boasts an ideal location on the Grand Canal, opposite the magnificent Chiesa della Salute church and only a minute or two on foot from San Marco Square. The entrance from the street side is unobtrusive and you must look out for the signs on the pavement marked "Regina Hotel," pointing you along a narrow alley to the courtyard, which is home to the main entrance. This hotel has the added bonus of a private jetty for guests arriving by water taxi.

The guestrooms in the hotel are decorated in two distinctive styles. Those rooms in the Europa wing feature mainly Venetian décor with ornate painted woodwork and stucco walls. In contrast, the Regina has a more Imperial style of room. There are also three room types in the hotel and both wings of the hotel contain all three types. There are deluxe rooms (which are the standard type of room), executive rooms and suites. The deluxe and executive rooms differ only in the view available from the room; everything else remains the same throughout. Deluxe rooms tend to overlook the courtyard and narrow streets below. Unrestricted views over the Grand Canal can be found from the executive rooms. There are 185 guestrooms in total in the hotel. The 17 single rooms are spacious and have queen sized bed, offering the lone traveller more comfort than is standard for a single room. The rest of the rooms are mainly twins/doubles, although adding an extra bed to make a triple is normally not a problem. There is also a large number of interconnecting rooms in this hotel, which make it ideal for families who wish to stay together. The guestrooms are generally spacious, with large walk-in wardrobes and a high quality of furnishings and amenities, including mini bar and snack bar (the last also contains disposable camera and traditional Venetian mask, which guests may purchase if they wish.) There is also pay-per-view television channels, air conditioning and safety box. The en suite bathrooms are luxuriously appointed with the trademarked "Westin Heavenly" showers featuring double shower-heads and branded toiletries. Bathrobes and slippers for guests' use are in all rooms.

General Hotel Information

The Westin Europa & Regina is a regal hotel and its atmosphere is one of a refined elegance. This is immediately obvious upon entering the huge marble lobby, which features tasteful seating and quiet decor. The main lobby leads you to the reception desk and concierge on the left and the bar and restaurant on the right. From the back of the lobby you can access the rest of the hotel. Originally the property comprised five separate palaces dating from the 18th & 19th centuries. These have now been connected and form two wings, Europa and Regina (hence the name). The whole hotel is bright and modern, but with a Venetian influence. For guests with their health and wellbeing in mind, it offers the use of the "stretch room" for gentle exercises, including step aerobics, workout balls and yoga mats. Those who look for a more vigorous workout can make use of the state of the art exercise machines in the "workout room." Wi-fi Internet access is available throughout the public areas of the hotel and guests may also take advantage of the high speed Internet access in each of the guestrooms. A large lounge area, ideal for reading or using as a meeting point with friends, is just off the bar area and offers an opulence found in few other places. Not only does this hotel offer guests a luxurious stay, but the facilities at its sister hotels are also at the disposal of every guest. This includes the complimentary shuttle service during the summer months to the Westin Excelsior on the Lido, where you can take full advantage of the beach-front location and swimming pool, whilst also enjoying the 30 minute ride across the lagoon.
***Renovation works to approximately 40 bedrooms start in November 2008.***
