Hotels near the Piazzale Roma

Several hotels are in the immediate vicinity of the Piazzale Roma, central Venice's closest point to the Marittima terminal.

Hotel Antiche Figura (3 stars) overlooks the Grand Canal. Its location couldn't be better, and it has a top rating among guests who have booked through Venere. Singles, doubles, and triples are available.

Hotel Santa Chiara (3 stars) is also just off the Piazzale Roma, next to the Grand Canal. Some triples are available, and there's there's even a private car park.)

Hotel Olimpia (3 stars, photo at right) is across a small bridge from the Piazzale Roma. Rooms accommodate one to four guests.

Ca' Doge is a "town house suites, 1st category" property, which corresponds to a 3-star hotel. The Ca' Doge offers free ADSL Internet access and has a parking garage.

The following hotels are within easy reach of the Piazzale Roma if you don't mind carrying your luggage over a bridge or two:

Hotel Airone (2 stars) is down the steps from the Piazzale Roma and to the right, across a bridge and along a fondamenta or waterfront promenade. Some of the single and double rooms overlook the Grand Canal.

Hotel Arlecchino (3 stars) is on the Fondamenta delle Burchielle, about  100 meters from the airport buses and taxis in the Piazzale Roma. Singles, doubles, triples, and quads are available.

Hotel Canal & Walter (3 stars, photo at right) has 33 rooms, some overlooking the Grand Canal. One- to four-person rooms are available, and breakfast is served in the hotel's garden courtyard during summer.

Hotel Gardena (3 stars) faces the Tolentini Canal, just off the Grand Canal and about a five-minute walk from the Piazzale Roma. Guest rooms range from singles to quads, and breakfast is served outdoors in warm weather.

Sofitel Venezia (4 stars) is behind the public gardens by the Piazzale Roma. The Sofitel, which belongs to a French international hotel group, is a good choice if you're looking for an upscale hotel in this district.

The Hotel Abbazia (3 stars) in is a side street near the railroad station, a little more distant from the Piazzale Roma than some of the other hotels described here. The 39-room hotel occupies a former monastery, and some rooms face the large garden where breakfast is served in nice weather. See the very favorable guest comments.

If you prefer to be a little more distant from the buses, boats, and bustle of the Piazzale Roma, you could try Al Gallo (3 stars), Al Sole (3 stars), the Carlton & Grand Canal (4 stars), Palazzo Odoni (3 stars), or the Falier (2 stars, photo at left), which is a 15-minute walk from the Piazzale but is handy to one of the liveliest squares in Venice, the Campo Santa Margherita. Still, I'd recommend staying closer to the Piazzale Roma unless you're fit and are traveling with nothing bulkier than a midsize wheeled suitcase.

Other hotels in the area that aren't represented by Venere include the Ca' Corte, Capri, Locanda Solieri, Residenza Parisi, and Sofitel Venice. Consult your Venice guidebook for additional listings.
