- Jacob Elordi drew the largest fan crowds at the Venice Film Festival.
- Hotel Excelsior, Venice's oldest film festival venue, has been renovated.
- Fans can still access star-frequented areas and cocktails at Hotel Excelsior.
Jacob Elordi has been identified as the celebrity who draws the largest fan gatherings to Venice, surpassing other major stars. This revelation came during a tour of the Hotel Excelsior, a venue integral to the city's Film Festival since its inception in 1932.
The Hotel Excelsior, opened in 1908 on the Venice Lido, has recently undergone a significant multi-million euro renovation. While stars now screen films at the Palazzo del Cinema, they continue to use the hotel for official appearances and as a gathering spot.
Despite its exclusive A-list clientele, Hotel Excelsior maintains an air of accessibility. Visitors can experience the hotel's ambiance by enjoying cocktails at the Blue Bar, with drinks named after film award winners. Rooms at the five-star establishment start at approximately £350.
The hotel's renovation has updated its bedrooms with pastel palettes and decorative ceilings, alongside restored retro brass fittings and Murano glass chandeliers in the Palm Court. Double rooms, including breakfast and boat transfers, begin at £354.
