History
Sacca Sessola is an artificial island in the southern Venetian Lagoon constructed between 1860 and 1870 from port-construction debris, later a quarantine hospital and tuberculosis sanatorium. The JW Marriott occupies all sixteen hectares of the island, now renamed Isola delle Rose, with lagoon-facing gardens and a private shuttle to Piazza San Marco fourteen minutes away.
The setting
JW Marriott Venice Resort & Spa commands the sixteen hectares of Sacca Sessola, an artificial island in the southern Venetian Lagoon built 1860–1870 from port-construction debris, later a quarantine hospital and tuberculosis sanatorium before being sold in 2015 and transformed into a resort renamed Isola delle Rose. A private shuttle delivers guests to the city: Doge's Palace is fourteen minutes on foot from the landing, the Bridge of Sighs fourteen minutes, and Piazza San Marco fifteen. The island's sixteen hectares of parkland, marina, and lagoon-facing gardens — in full view of the San Marco skyline — provide a scale of resort seclusion unmatched in the Venetian archipelago.
