Lido hotels

Five stars

Hotel Westin Excelsior Palace photoHotel Excelsior
This mock Moorish palace, formerly known as the Excelsior Palace, was the largest hotel in the world when it opened for business in 1912. Its location near the Casino is a fairly long walk from the heart of the Lido, but private launches make it easy for guests to reach Venice's historic center.

Four stars

Biasutti Hotels
Two converted mansions, the Biassuti Villa Adria-Urania and Villa Nora, form a hotel with the three-star Villa Ada (see below). In summer, you can rent a caba�a at the beach, which is 10 minutes away on foot.

Hotel Hungaria Palace photoHotel Hungaria Palace
Unless you're a diehard Bauhaus buff, you'll love the over-the-top Art Nouveau tiled fa�ade of this century-old resort hotel on the Gran Viale Santa Elisabetta. The hotel is nicely situated, with the beach in one direction and the vaporetto stop to the city enter in the other. It's a good choice for a summer honeymoon or a beach weekend.

Hotel Villa Mabapa
The Best Western Villa Mabapa has lagoon views, a boat landing stage, and private beach facilities for guests. The original villa was built in the 1930s; today, the hotel consists of three villas that share a private garden.
