Hotel Palazzo Bembo ***
This hotel is located high up in a 14th Century Venetian Gothic palace on the Grand Canal near the Rialto Bridge. The route from the hotel to the Piazza San Marco is a straight line, so you shouldn't get lost. See guest comments.

Hotel Palazzo Priuli ***
The family that built this 14th Century home claims three doges, 14 procurators, and five cardinals. Today, the palazzo is a first-class hotel with a variety of accommodations--including doubles, triples, connecting rooms, and junior suites (at least one of which has a fireplace).

Hotel Pausinia ***
The Pausinia occupies a Venetian Gothic palazzo in Dorsoduro, in the San Barnaba neighborhood near Venice's last remaining fruit and vegetable barge. The Accademia Gallery and the Scuola Grande dei Carmini are close by.

Hotel Principe ****
This hotel faces the Grand Canal. Behind it is the Lista di Spagna, a pedestrian thoroughfare that leads to the railroad station nearby. The area is pleasant enough and convenient if you don't feel like hauling your luggage aboard a crowded waterbus. See guest comments.

Hotel Rialto ***
Of this hotel's 80 rooms, 28 face the Grand Canal. The Rialto Bridge is nearby, giving easy access to churches, museums, and other sights on both sides of the canal. Vaporetto routes 1 (local) and 2 (express) stop right in front of the hotel. See guest comments.

Locanda Salieri *
Wi-fi is a perk at the inexpensive Salieri, which one guest has described as a "lovely welcoming little hotel." It's in Santa Croce, within a fairly short walk of the Piazzale Roma.

San Clemente Palace *****  See illustrated review
This luxury hotel occupies a beautifully landscaped 17-acre private island beyond Giudecca, where it has 205 rooms, a swimming pool and tennis courts, a 12th Century church, and free boat service to the Piazza San Marco.

Hotel Royal San Marco ***
The former Hotel Boston has a great location: directly behind the Piazza San Marco, not far from Venice's most popular tourist attractions and the airport boat's pier. See guest comments.

Hotel San Gallo ***
With a location just north of the Piazza San Marco, 12 air-conditioned rooms, and a roof terrace where you can enjoy breakfast on sunny days, the San Gallo is a good bet in the medium-priced category. See guest comments.

Hotel Sant' Elena ****
To get away from the crowds, head for the Sant' Elena residential neighborhood near the tip of Venice's historic center, which you can reach on foot or by vaporetto. The Hotel Sant' Elena is especially pleasant in spring, summer, or fall, when you can enjoy the deck chairs in the garden. Rates include a buffet breakfast, and the hotel is wheelchair-accessible.

Hotel San Marco ***
The San Marco has both rooms and apartments. The hotel is just off the piazza of the same name, and it's conveniently located for shopping in the streets between San Marco and Rialto.

Hotel San Marco Palace ****
26 one- and two-bedroom suites make the San Marco Palace a good option if you're traveling with a family or feel cramped in a standard hotel room. A buffet breakfast is included. The hotel is through an arch and across a short bridge from the Piazza San Marco.

Hotel San Maurizio *
This hotel in the San Marco district has three room categories. You can choose between a private or shared bathroom, depending on your budget. Guest comments are mixed, although ratings seem to have improved since the hotel underwent renovations in 2005.

Hotel San Moisè  *** See illustrated review
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 gondola canal

Hotel San Zulian ***
It's a three-minute walk from the Piazza San Marco to the three-star San Zulian, where accommodations range from singles to quads. See guest comments.

Hotel Saturnia & International ****
A Gothic palace from the 14th Century with attractive rooms and a nice location on the Calle larga XXII Marzo, a few minutes' walk beyond the corner archway in the narrow or enclosed end of St. Mark's Square. See guest comments.

Hotel Savoia & Jolanda ****
The Savoia is a short walk from the Doge's Palace on the Riva degli Schiavoni. You can board a gondola right in front of the hotel. See guest comments.

Locanda Silva
Signor Ettore and his daughter have run the Silva since 1956. All 23 rooms have been renovated and have private bathrooms, and the location is convenient for this price range: It's just a few blocks from the Piazza San Marco and the Zaccaria vaporetto stop.

Sofitel Venezia ****
The upscale French hotel group's Venice property is near the Tolentini church, behind the public gardens by the Piazzale Roma. Its location is especially convenient for air travelers and cruise passengers.

Locanda Ss. Giovanni e Paolo **
With a location near the church of the same name, the Locanda Ss. Giovanni e Paolo is convenient for sightseeing but off the main tourist track. Rooms have beamed ceilings and are furnished in 18th Century Venetian style.

Hotel Starhotel Splendide Suisse ****
This hotel lies on the main retail thoroughfare between the Piazza San Marco and the Rialto Bridge. Ask for an Executive Room if you feel like splurging. See guest comments.

Hotel Torino ***
Shoppers will like the Torino's location on the Via XXII Marzo; its neighbors include Prada, Versace, Magli, Vuitton, Biagiotti, and Bulgari. See guest comments.

Hotel Tre Archi ***
This hotel, which opened in 2001, faces the Cannaregio Canal. The Venetian Ghetto is just a minute or two away, and the hotel is also easy to reach from the railway station and the Piazzale Roma. See guest comments.

Hotel Villa Rossa *
The Santa Lucia railroad station is only 100 meters away from the Villa Rossa, which is located just off the main pedestrian thoroughfare between the station and the Piazza San Marco. The hotel has 33 bedrooms, all with private bath, plus a garden where you can eat or drink outdoors in summer. See guest comments.

Hotel Wildner **
The former Pensione Wildner faces St. Mark's Basin, a short walk along the waterfront from the Basilica and the Doge's Palace. It's a good choice for travelers who can't afford the Danieli but crave a hotel (and maybe a room) with a view. See guest comments.
