A hotel close to Venice airport

Russott Hotel, Mestre

This large, modern hotel in Mestre is part of the prestigious Russott Hotel chain, which has links with Marriott Hotels. The accommodation is conveniently situated in the San Giuliano area, close to the bridge linking the city of Venice with the Italian mainland and surrounded by a large, green park. The hotel has an excellent conference centre - there are nine well-appointed meeting rooms with a capacity of up to 1,000 people and excellent technical support and facilities. It's a great place for holidaymakers, too, with extensive free parking and a shuttle service which runs to and from the centre of Venice. The railway station is also nearby, linking Mestre with Venice and the other lovely towns of the Veneto - including Padua, Treviso, Vicenza and Verona. Marco Polo International Airport is just a matter of minutes away.

This Mestre accommodation has 181 spacious, bright rooms, arranged over six floors. Every room is fully en-suite, soundproofed and comfortably air conditioned with direct-dial telephone, satellite TV, internet connection and a refrigerated minibar stocked with drinks and snacks. Beds are extra large and comfortable and guests can elect to have a non-smoking room. Families with young children are welcome here and there is a babysitting service. Small animals are welcome at the discretion of the management.

There are two excellent restaurants at this Mestre hotel - La Fontanella and El Carneval - serving a combination of typical Venetian cuisine and modern bistrot-style cooking. La Fontenella is sophisticated and elegant while El Carneval has a more informal American coffee shop ambience. There is also a laid-back American piano bar, The Casanova Club, which is a great place to meet people or unwind over a relaxing drink or two. There is friendly, efficient service on the front desk and staff are on hand to offer tourist information and advice or assist with making travel reservations.
