Hotels on the Lido's Main Street

From: Lido di Venezia (Venice Lido)

Hotel Ausonia & Hungaria

ABOVE: Spring blossoms add color to the garden of the Grande Albergo Ausonia & Hungaria, an historic four-star hotel on the Lido's main shopping street, the Gran Viale Santa Maria Elisabetta.

Hotels by the Lido S.M.E. waterbus stop

These hotels are extremely convenient if you plan to spend most of your time exploring Venice, because they're only a few meters from the Lido Santa Maria Elisabetta vaporetto and  airport-boat station. They're also handy if you're departing or arriving by ship at Venice's Marittima cruise terminals. (Alilaguna's Linea Blu airport boat offers direct service between Lido S.M.E. and Marittima.)

Hotel CristalloHotel Cristallo (2 stars)
For value, it's hard to beat the Hotel Cristallo, which is only a few minutes on foot from the waterbus stop on the Gran Viale Santa Maria Elisabetta. Don't let the 2-star category fool you: The Cristallo has an elevator, many of the air-conditioned rooms are quite large, and rates include free Wi-Fi. Be sure to try the croissants at the breakfast buffet, which are excellent by Venetian standards. (Tip: If you visit the Cristallo for three days or longer during the summer months, you'll have free access to a private beach club nearby.)
