Venice hotels - the family run Hotel Messner, Venice

Hotel Messner, Venice

This Venice (Venezia) hotel is in the Dorsoduro sestiere or area, one of the six traditional districts into which the city is divided. Art lovers will be especially at home, as the Hotel Messner, Venice is in close proximity to the Guggenheim museum and the Accademia art gallery - home to the most significant collection of Venetian art in the world today. This is a beautifully quiet and peaceful residential area, a marvellous antidote to the bustle of downtown Venice. And when you do want to explore, simply take a boat across the Grand Canal and you are within a short stroll of Piazza San Marco.

The hotel itself is separated into three different areas: the main house, the junior suite and the annex. The facilities differ slightly between each section, but every room enjoys either a view of the canal at the front or the garden and outdoor play area to the rear. This hotel has been family-run by the Messners for generations, the staff are very friendly and the hotel is renowned for its local cuisine, available in the restaurant. There is also a lounge/bar and a spa where guests can relax and take beauty treatments.

Each of the 40 rooms features an en-suite bathroom as well as an in-room safe, direct-dial telephone, hairdryer and central heating. The main house and junior suite also boast air-conditioned rooms with cable/satellite television in each and full internet access also available. The 24-hour front desk and express checkout service make it easy to get in and out, as does the easy access from both the Santa Lucia railway station and Marco Polo International airport. This hotel in Venice is perfectly situated for quiet tours around the city but is close enough to the action to satisfy all tastes.
