Blue Bar
Blue Bar is where the Excelsior’s most glamorous stories are still being written. For over a century, it has been the jewel in the hotel’s crown, a room made for aperitivo, late-night conversations, and the moment when a quiet day on the Lido turns into an evening with a little theatre in it.
This is the bar that has welcomed the Venice Film Festival and the world that arrives with it: directors, actors, critics, and hotel guests who like their nights to linger. Take a seat at the Murano glass counter, order a signature cocktail, and you’re part of the same ritual that has played out here for generations at Hotel Excelsior Venice Lido Resort, timeless, unhurried, and unmistakably Excelsior.
The offering is simple and exactly right: aperitivo, bites, and late-night drinks. Blue Bar isn’t just somewhere to have a drink, it’s where the day’s memories settle into place and the next scene begins. A landmark within Hotel Excelsior Venice, it remains one of the most iconic social spaces among Venice Lido hotels, bringing together film history, timeless glamour, and life on the Lido.
