The hotel operates under a franchise agreement with owner D Hotels srl.Guests at DoubleTree by Hilton Venice North will be welcomed with the brand’s signature CARE Culture – which stands for Create a Rewarding Experience for guests, team members and the community, and focuses on the personal touches which make for an enjoyable and rejuvenating stay.
“We’re extremely proud of the rich variety of DoubleTree by Hilton hotels and the remarkable impression they have made on the European market, where we now have in excess of 50 hotels trading,” said John Greenleaf, global head, DoubleTree by Hilton. “Venice has a reputation for quality and design, and DoubleTree by Hilton Venice North’s contemporary aesthetic celebrates its location, providing an oasis from which guests can explore Venice and the surrounding countryside.”
Designed by celebrated architects DHK Architects, Marco Piva and M2 Atelier, DoubleTree by Hilton Venice North features a sweeping glass exterior, landscaped courtyard, and the comfortable interior touches for which the brand is known, including the Sweet DreamsTM by DoubleTree Sleep Experience and a warm chocolate chip cookie, presented to every guest on check in.

The hotel shuttle service provides a convenient connection between the hotel and the historic city of Venice.”
