Lido hotels
Five stars
 Hotel 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
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.
