Hotels Venice and Rome

[toseaornottosea]

My guess is that this topic has been covered before but what hotels does Silversea generally use pre and post cruise in Venice and Rome?

The first time I stayed in Venice with SS was 2018 and the hotel was the Bauer Palazzo. I don't know if they are still using it but it is a lovely property😀. They have their own dock for the water taxi too.

Can't help you with the Rome question......never stayed there through the cruise line.

I can't speak to Venice, but for the cruise I'm taking in November the hotels Silversea will be using in Rome are the Bernini Bristol as their Simply Hotel and the Westin Excelsior for their Grande Hotel.

What is their definition as a difference between a "Grande Hotel" and a "Simply Hotel"?

Well, I can tell you in Athens the Simply Hotel was the Intercontinental.......the Grand was Hotel Grande Bretagne.  I know there is a price difference in these 2 properties.

We were told by Silversea their rate for a Venice hotel is $660/night and a Rome hotel is $770/night.  Don't know where those rates fall with respect to Simply or Grand but my guess is that these days it the Simply rate.
