Hotel accommodation in downtown Venice, Italy

Bridge Hotel, Venice

This Venice (Venezia) hotel sits only 200 metres from St Mark's Square (Piazza San Marco) and is perfectly situated for exploring the ancient city. Built in the Calle Della Sacrestia, an area directly behind San Marco, the three-star Bridge Hotel, Venice offers close proximity to many attractions, including the Basilica Di San Marco, one of the most celebrated and lavishly decorated cathedrals in Europe. Guests will also be within a short walking distance of the Doge's Palace (Palazzo Ducale) and the Castello district (or sestiere as the divisions of Venice are known), home to the famous Arsenale shipyard. The Rialto Bridge and La Fenice opera house are also within walking distance, making this hotel the perfect destination for tourists.

The three-star hotel was built in 1400 but has recently been fully restored and decorated in traditional Venetian style. The hotel has been run by the Rossi family for the last four generations and maintains a very friendly atmosphere with staff on hand at the 24-hour front desk to help you book restaurants and tickets for events. The hotel also organises its own trips to the nearby island of Murano to visit the old-style glass works and watch the glass being blown by hand. An express checkout service is available to help you reach your destination on time.

Each of the ten rooms is Venetian in style, with original ceiling beams exposed in the traditional way. Views are of the Venetian rooftops, the Calle Della Sacrestia outside and the neighbouring Calle Della Corona. Every room is air conditioned with an in-room safe, direct-dial telephone and controlled heating. Cable/satellite television has also been installed in every room, so that guests can keep up to date with events back home and there are also en-suite bath and shower facilities in each room. This hotel in Venice is a great marriage of history with modern comfort and accessibility to an ancient city - you'll have a marvellous time exploring what is perhaps the world's most romantic city.
