'How Many Bridges to Cross?' Hotel Listings

Calatrava Bridge in Venice This directory lists handpicked hotels in central Venice that are of decent quality, and that are easy to reach from Alilaguna airport-boat stops, airport buses, the railroad station, and cruise ships.

In a city with more than 400 footbridges, these hotels are well worth considering if you're traveling with heavy luggage and don't want to wrestle your bags up and down steps.

How to use these listings:

Pick a location from the interactive map or the menu below.
On each location page, you'll see listings of hotels and how many bridges they are from transportation. Click on a hotel link, and you'll be taken to either one of our new Venice Hotel Directions pages (which have booking links for Venere, Booking.com, and the hotels' own Web sites) or--until we've finished our Directions pages--a hotel page at Venere.com.
