General Advice

Where to Sleep in Venice
Doze like a doge in a palatial hotel, or huddle with the hoi polloi in a dormitory. It's up to you--and your pocketbook.

Early Departures
If you need to make a fast getaway on the morning you leave Venice, read my advice. Also see:

Early-Morning Flights from Venice
Departing at dawn? Learn where to spend your last night and how to reach the airport in the morning.

Hostel

Venice Hostel
The Ostello Venezia is a bargain (except for the waterbus fare), and my directions make it easy to reach.

Hotels

Hotels Near the Piazza San Marco
If you're a first-time visitor to Venice, you'll probably want to stay near St. Mark's Square, the Basilica, and the Doge's Palace. My article describes hotels on all sides of the Piazza, in every price category.

Venice Airport Hotels
Got an early flight or heaps of luggage? Whether you're going to Marco Polo or Treviso airport, pick a hotel that's convenient to transportation.

Venice Railroad Station Hotels
If you're in Venice for only a few days, stay at a hotel that you can reach easily on foot from the station--even with heavy luggage.

Venice Cruise Terminal Hotels
My four-page article describes hotels near the Piazzale Roma (for Marittima), San Basilio, and the shuttle pier at San Marco-Vallaresso.

Hotel San Moisé
This three-star hotel in San Marco is perfect for a honeymoon or romantic weekend--especially if you book a room overlooking Venice's most musical canal.

Hotel Cipriani
Venice's most exclusive resort hotel is just a few minutes by private launch from St. Mark's Square.

Locanda del Ghetto
If you're Jewish or simply have an interest in the Venetian Ghetto, try this newish hotel in Venice's medieval Jewish quarter.

Luna Hotel Baglioni
Crusaders slept at Venice's oldest hotel in 1118. Nearly 900 years later, the Luna is still serving luxury-minded guests at the same location next to the Piazza San Marco and Napoleon's Royal Gardens.

San Clemente Palace
This luxury hotel on a beautifully landscaped 17-acre private island has 205 rooms, a swimming pool and tennis courts, and its own 12th Century church. The hotel is 15 minutes from San Marco by private launch.

Venice Hotel Guidebooks
Before you book a room in Venice, read these two paperbacks.

An Apartment in Cannaregio
This attractive two-bedroom apartment has a huge living room, beamed ceilings, and a nice location between the Campo SS. Apostoli and the Fondamente Nove. My wife and I stayed there in November, 2007.)
