Tchaikovsky stayed in this Venice hotel room - now you can too | NEW suite at Londra Palace Venezia

Originally opened in 1853, Londra Palace Venezia unveiled an extensive renovation in March 2024, with a final new suitethis May. The Tchaikovsky Suite, a new junior suite dedicated to the iconic Russian composer, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, was inspired by his stay on property in December 1877. Tchaikovsky worked on the first three movements of his iconic fourth symphony, so Suite 106 was aptly named in his honor and in memory of his historic stay. The room is dressed to fit the composer himself — with expansive waterfront canal views and quintessential Venetian silks and tactile velvets, retaining the city’s traditional character and historical integrity. The suite's marble-lined bathroom, chandelier, and golden artwork reflect the vibrant, artisanal spirit of a modern Venice.
