Interested in floating along the Grand Canal in the breathtakingly beautiful water city of Venice? This desire can become a reality with Venice's plethora of hotel options. Whether you're looking for a luxurious five-star hotel or just a roof over your head, Venice has it all.
Guests at the city's top hotels can expect good service, clean rooms, and classy decor all in the heart of Venice. Looking to relax on the beach and take a dip in the Adriatic Sea? Unlike any other Venetian hotel, The Hotel Excelsior offers a world-class resort with white cabanas on Lido Beach. The hotel offers a complimentary shuttle service to St. Mark's square, so guests are not isolated from the central part of town. Another upscale option is the Hotel Canal Grande. Overlooking the famous Canal Grande, the view captures the essence of Venice, with both the old Italian architecture and the stream of gondolas floating down the river.
The Gritti Palace is the lap of luxury in Venice. Home to a full spa, a private gondola, a popular outdoor restaurant called the Club de Doge, and the Bar Longhi, the Gritti Palace has it all. The rooms are plush and new after a multi-million dollar renovation last year. A mere five minute walk from the Bridge of Sighs and the Grand Canal, the Gritti Palace is close to some must-see attractions.
Although Venice is known for its opulence, there are many more affordable hotel options. One of the sacrifices for a smaller price tag is often location, but in this case, getting around is easy because the Vaporetto water bus system can take visitors anywhere they wish.
The Locanda Silva is a popular Venetian Bed and Breakfast. This hotel is known for its clean and simple Venetian decor and for its stellar location in the Piazza San Marco next to a beautiful, quiet canal and close to the Rialto. Another reasonably priced hotel, the Alloggi Gerotto Calderan, is a 20 minute walk from the Rialto Bridge and only a 10 minute walk from St. Mark's Square. A third option that boasts an excellent location overlooking the Piazza San Marco is the Hotel Concordia, which has been around for more than three centuries, making this a perfect location for those who appreciate historical significance in their accommodation.
Two of the most central districts of Venice are Cannaregio and San Marco. The Cannaregio area is the home to much of Venice's defining history. Marco Polo and Tintoretto lived there, and the church of Madonna dell'Orto contains several of Tintoretto's paintings. The Hotel Silva Ariel is a relatively cheap option in this district.
San Marco is known as the the tourist hub. Doge's Palace, the Basilica di San Marco, and the Piazza San Marco are three of the must sees in Venice that are located here. In addition, San Marco has upscale shopping and great places to eat. Here you pay a little extra to be in the center of it all, but the quality of service at hotels like The Gritti Palace will not disappoint.
Famous for elaborate masks and lots of celebration, the Venice Carnival is well known worldwide. It takes place in February and March, ending four days before Easter. The Carnival Palace Hotel is a great place to stay if you want to be part of this famed festival, but would rather sleep a little ways away from the noise and crowds.
