I agree, although I've stayed at the St. Regis 4 months ago in my honeymoon and what can I say? I'm speechless with that hotel. It's a St. Regis after all.
On the other hand for Venice I've stayed at the Gritti and they gave us the biggest suite around (Grand Canal Suite). But on points I would go for the Westin as it's Catagory 5 hotel.
For the others I can't comment since I have never been there.
Hope you have a good time.
