Venice hotels, Cannaregio

Hotel Ai Mori D'Oriente, Venice

This Venice hotel is conveniently located in Cannaregio, the quiet, northernmost district of this fascinating island city. If you are coming by car, the Ai Mori d'Oriente hotel is accessible from Highway A4 or A27, and parking is available either in the San Marco Autorimessa Comunale garage or on the parking island of Tronchetto. From there, you can take a water taxi or water bus directly to the hotel.

Built in the 15th century as a palace and named after the "mori" - the Turkish tradesmen who once lived here - Venice's Ai Mori d'Oriente Hotel has been transformed into an exotic-looking 4-star hotel that combines first-class facilities and service with traditional Venetian style. Just seven kilometres from Marco Polo Airport and half a mile from the Santa Lucia railway station, it has 55 comfortable, plushly furnished guest rooms, each with a full range of amenities including air conditioning, satellite TV, direct-dial telephone, minibar, safe and internet access. Non-smoking rooms are also available on request.

This accommodation is within easy reach of many of the most famous tourist sites including the Jewish Ghetto - Venice's Jews were only given equal rights to other Venetians towards the end of the 19th century - and the Gothic church of Madonna dell'Orto, parish church of the artist Tintoretto and just one of the many fascinating churches in this part of Venice.

Staff at this hotel in Venice will be able to help you make the most of your stay in this unique Italian city, offering advice on transport links and suggesting tourist attractions worth a visit, such as the island of San Michele, where Igor Stravinsky and Sergei Diaghilev are buried, and Murano, home to Venice's glass-blowing industry.
