JW Marriott Venice Resort & Spa Celebrates Grand Opening
The celebrations saw 300 guests including local Venetians, influencers and media immersed in the treasured traditions of some of Venice's most famous islands while exploring Isola delle Rose (Rose Island), the private island in the Venetian lagoon that the new resort calls home.

Guests were invited to savor fragrant cocktails from Isola delle Rose; hand pick culinary treats from Sant'Erasmo, the lagoon's famed vegetable island; learn about the delicate art of Burano lacemaking and admire the colors of the world famous glass from Murano. With music curated by renowned DJ, Rob da Bank, and a deconstructed orchestra featuring the premiere violinist Lizzie Ball and the Classical Kicks, the Gala event not only enticed all the senses but brought the traditions of Venice to life.

Each immersive and culinary experience told the stories of the Venetian lagoon whilst showcasing the 40 acre island, which includes beautifully landscaped gardens and olive groves as well as four restaurants, five bars, a cooking school and wine academy, a rooftop pool overlooking St Mark's Square, a restored 19th century church and the largest spa in Venice.
