Hotel consulting in Venice
Venice lives between the pressure of tourism and the wish to protect it. If you have a hotel or a project in the city or on the lagoon, we work on a positioning that holds over time.
What Venice asks of a hotel.
The city is moving from large numbers to fewer guests who stay longer. Works, supplies and staff all move on water, and every choice costs more than elsewhere.
Fewer guests, longer stays
The city rewards those who stay and spend in it, and the rules are moving that way.
Palazzi on the water
Conversions with strong protections and building sites complicated by logistics.
Cultural events
The Biennale and the exhibitions bring demand peaks in precise seasons.
The team
Finding and keeping staff in the historic centre is hard, and training helps keep them.
How we work in Venice.
Three ways to work with us, from Milan and on site when it's needed. The price is written down before we start.
Guest Experience Design
For a hotel that is already open: the guest experience across the seven moments of the stay, the standards of every department and the training of the team. Experience Design and Standards Design start from €2,500.
Staff training
One person at a time, at the property during service or online, on the situations of their own shift. From €275 per person.
Feasibility studies
For a project that doesn't exist yet: whether it earns, and on what conditions, before the money is spent. From the €499 market assessment to the full study.
Before we start.
How much does it cost to work with DolceVita in Venice?
The discovery session is free. For a hotel that is already open, Guest Experience Design has three components: Experience Design from €2,500, Standards Design from €2,500 and on-site training from €275 per person. For a new project, the feasibility study starts with the €499 market assessment; pre-opening is quoted per project.
How do you follow a hotel or a project in Venice from Milan?
The work is led from Milan, with online sessions on fixed dates and written deliverables. We travel for the steps where being there changes the result: a site visit, a meeting with the owners, a negotiation with an operator. We reply within one business day.
Where do we start?
With the free discovery session, online, on what you need to decide. If the hotel is open, we define the owner’s objectives and the components of Guest Experience Design to engage; if the project is still to be built, which level of study is enough to answer.
Do you work in a hotel in Venice?
The masterclasses are filmed inside working luxury hotels and taught by the people who run each department. Career Mentoring helps you work out what separates you from your next role, in another country too.
