17 Best Hotels in Venice
In this labyrinthine warren of a city, it pays to be clear about what you want when booking a room: tourist-addled Venice’s classic hotels cluster around St. Mark’s square, along the Grand Canal to the west, and on the riva degli Schiavoni to the east. Elsewhere in the city you’ll find everything from backpacker hostels and intimate B&Bs, to design-forward four-stars and owner-rentals galore. A ‘canal view’ will cost extra, but could mean anything from a spectacular Grand Canal vista to an awkward squint down into mosquito-infested backwater. An inwards-facing room can be far quieter than one that looks out onto a busy thoroughfare—as long as ‘inwards’ means over a courtyard or garden, and not onto a dead wall, that is. Wondering where to start? Our editors' picks for Venice's best hotels are here to help guide you.
