Langham Hospitality Group, a premier global hotel company that has more than 30 properties in major cities across four continents, has announced its plans to expand in Europe with the addition of The Langham, Venice to its portfolio.

Slated to open in 2023, the 138-key hotel is located on Italy’s island of Murano (known for its history of glass-making) and will be housed in the former Casino Mocenigo, which dates back to the early 1600s. The historic building is an important example of Venetian architecture enriched by important frescoes with classical themes dedicated to music, poetry, and love.

Matteo Thun & Partners, an architecture and design studio based in Milan, will oversee the extensive renovations at The Langham, Venice. Guest rooms and public spaces will incorporate modern amenities and be inspired by the details in the hotel’s rich history, resplendent frescoes, and breathtaking water views. A defining architectural feature of The Langham is the magnificent courtyard, which will showcase the outdoor swimming pool, manicured garden, as well as inviting outdoor dining spaces.

“Venice remains one of the world’s leading leisure destinations and we are delighted to have found such an exceptional site on which to develop our first hotel in Italy,” says Stefan Leser, chief executive officer of Langham Hospitality Group. “The Langham, Venice will provide an exclusive leisure experience that blends the finest elements of the local Venetian culture and heritage with personalized intuitive service that are the hallmarks of The Langham luxury experience.”

The hotel will also include Langham Hospitality Group’s signature Chuan Spa, which is known for providing wellness therapies and treatments based on the ancient healing philosophies of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It will also include a fully-equipped fitness center, an elegant ballroom, and multipurpose rooms.
