Located 20 meters from St. Mark s Square, the Antico Panada Hotel provides everything you d expect f

Visitors to Venice , especially those who are traveling to this famous canal city for the first time, generally want to make their homebase a hotel that s as close as possible to the center of activity. And while Venice is easily walkable so that just about any hotel is going to be close to something worth seeing, St. Mark s Square is arguably the hub of most of the stuff going on in Venice.
If you re looking at a map of Venice, the placement of this bustling piazza way off to one side of the city doesn t make it seem like it would be so central to tourist life in Venice, but it is. So it s not surprising that there are a gajillion hotels near St. Mark s Square (yes, a gajillion I counted). This is by no means, therefore, an exhaustive list but it is a list of 11 of the hotels around Piazza San Marco that I think are worth checking out.
There s a Venice map below, with St. Mark s and all the hotels I ve listed marked on it, so you can see exactly where each one is. Below the map, there s a bit of information about each hotel. You can find out more about and book each one either by clicking on the hotel icon on the map or by clicking on the link provided in the list below the map.
This is actually the very first hotel I stayed in on my very first trip to Italy, so it s got a special place in my heart. It s a few short steps from St. Mark s Square, on one side of a tiny bridge over a small canal, and a hotel has occupied the building since 1857. The three-star world poker tour chips wooden box San Marco Hotel has 56 individually-decorated rooms, all with en suite bathroom and air conditioning, and breakfast is included with the room.
Unlike world poker tour chips wooden box many older Venice hotels, this one does have an elevator. Back when I stayed there, I wasn t interested in getting online but it appears that the San Marco Hotel has kept up with the times, as there s now internet access and even WiFi in the public areas.
This isn t the cheapest hotel around St. Mark s, but the rates are actually pretty world poker tour chips wooden box reasonable in the short off-season. For instance, in January when I was looking at the room prices a single varied between 79-104 depending on the day, and a double ranged from 88-116. And given the location near St. Mark s Square in a city that s notorious for its overpriced hotels, that s not a bad deal.
Located 20 meters from St. Mark s Square, the Antico Panada Hotel provides everything you d expect from a top-notch hotel for reasonable prices. The three-star hotel s 50 rooms over five floors (yes, there s an elevator) occupy a former 18th century Venetian palace, and the decor includes lots of antiques, Murano lamps, and overstuffed furniture.
Internet access is available for a fee with two public computers in the lobby, and a continental breakfast is included in the room rate. All of the Antico Panada Hotel s rooms have en suite bathrooms, though the superior rooms also boast whirlpool baths and other bathroom amenities.
When I was looking at prices in late January, the range for a double room was $75-86 so although this place may look like a luxurious splurge to budget travelers who are used to more spartan digs, if you re visiting in the off-season you can get a great deal.
The Hotel San Zulian is a few minutes world poker tour chips wooden box walk from St. Mark s Square (and, in the other direction, a short walk to the Rialto Bridge), and although the building dates from 1800 it s been renovated recently to accommodate the modern traveler world poker tour chips wooden box s needs.
There are 22 individually-decorated rooms in the hotel, all of which come with satellite TV, en suite bathrooms, and free WiFi. In addition to the breakfast room in the hotel, there s an in-house wine bar called Cavatappi, and the hotel runs free tours to nearby Murano.
Another world poker tour chips wooden box small hotel that s only a two minute walk from St. Mark s Square, Casa Sul Molo is actually technically a Venice B B. Each of the seven rooms is individually-decorated in a 17th century Venetian style and features Murano glass lighting fixtures.
All of the rooms have en suite bathrooms, satellite TV, air conditioning, world poker tour chips wooden box and an internet connection not to mention a view overlooking Campo di San Zulian. And because this is a bed and breakfast you d expect that breakfast would included in the price of the room but they ve upped the romance factor at Casa Sul Molo by providing breakfast in your room at no extra charge. Talk about the ideal way to start each morning of your honeymoon, right?
The B B will also arrange a trip to Murano island, where you can check out the glass making first-hand, via water taxi at no additional charge. And with prices starting world poker tour chips wooden box at 90 for a double in the low season, this place won t break the bank, either. world poker tour chips wooden box Of course, that same room will run you around 250 in the high season, so you can once again see the benefit of traveling when everyone else is at home.
50 meters from St. Mark s Square en route to the Rialto Bridge you ll find the Hotel Noemi, a family-run hotel with 16 rooms in a traditional Venetian building. Each of the rooms is decorated in an 18th century Venetian style, and every room has an en suite bathroom, satellite TV, air conditioning, and internet access.
The front desk is staffed by friendly folks and is in operation 24 hours a day, so you don t need to worry about waking anyone up to get back into your room after hours, and the room rate includes nice perks like breakfast and WiFi access. In fact, you can even get breakfast in your room if you re so inclined. Do note that there s no elevator in the hotel, so if you get a room on an upper floor I hope you ve packed light.
Room rates at Hotel Noemi can be surprisingly low if you re visiting world poker tour chips wooden box in the off-season. For instance, a search for rates in late January came up with a single for 45 and a double for 60-70. Those same rooms in late May go for 120-220.
I don t know about you, but when I read family-run hotel I usually think it s marketing hype. With Locanda Silva, it s not. This Venice inn has been run by Ettore and his daughter, Sandra, since 1956. Locanda Silva is about five minutes on foot from St. Mark s Square in the Castello district (which neighbors the San Marco district), and the inn s 23 rooms are spread over three floors. They re nothing fancy, but they re clean and comfortable and, above all for travelers looking for bargains, they re cheap.
The single and double rooms can be booked with or without en suite bathrooms, and there s one each of a triple and quad room (both of which have en suite bathrooms), and all rooms come with breakfast included. Because Locanda world poker tour chips wooden box Silva is concentrating on offering you nothing but the basics, the prices are great the cheapest room, a single with shared bath, runs from 45-65 depending on the season; and a double room with an en suite bathroom is only 80-130. Note that the inn can be challenging to locate, so arm yourself with good directions and get some help from the tourist information office if you need it. You can also punch the address into this Venice map website and get an amazingly accurate location pinpointed for you.
This is another hotel that s between St. Mark s Square and the Rialto Bridge, world poker tour chips wooden box although it s closer to the Piazza. Hotel Orion is a two-star hotel a short walk from the square through the archway underneath the big clock (the one that always seems to be under scaffolding). All the hotel s rooms have en suite bathrooms and air conditioning, and all have been recently refurbished. There s WiFi available world poker tour chips wooden box in the hotel, and breakfast is included in the price of the room.
Like every other hotel in Venice, the rates at the Hotel Orion are steeply discounted in the low season so if you re a budget traveler, plan to visit in (say) January when you can get a single for around 70-80 or a double world poker tour chips wooden box for 75-85 instead of later in the year when you ll pay as much as 140-160 for that same single or 145-165 for the double. Given how close the single and double are in price in both the high and low seasons, I say travel with a friend and split the cost of the double! Otherwise, that single in the high season is going to feel rather overpriced.
Usually when I m looking for hotels near St. Mark s Square, I don t look at any hotel that s got anything but a San Marco neighborhood address. But the four-star Ca Dei Conti Hotel is worth mentioning anyway, despite being located in the neighborhood that s next door to San Marco. It s still only 200 meters or so from St. Mark s, and because it s in the opposite direction from where most of the tourists go, that 200 meters can take you from overly crowded to peaceful and serene in an instant.
This former Venetian palace sits alongside a quiet canal close to Campo Santa Maria Formosa, and you might just forget it s a former world poker tour chips wooden box palace when you step inside. world poker tour chips wooden box All of the 17 rooms have en suite bathrooms, satellite TV, and gorgeous decorations, and breakfast is included with the price. There s even a private terrace where you can enjoy that breakfast or a drink when the weather s nice.
Now, as you can imagine, this kind of place doesn t come cheap. In the high season, a standard double will be more than 240 but bargain hunters can get a deal that s half the going rate when traveling world poker tour chips wooden box in the off-season.
Saying a hotel is two steps from St. Mark s Square might seem cliche, but in the case of Hotel Ai Do Mori it s almost true. This Venice world poker tour chips wooden box hotel is 10 meters from the lively square, and many of the rooms even have a view of the famous bell tower. (Which means that you re likely to hear the bells quite well something to keep in mind if you re a light sleeper, though the windows are double-paned.)
There are 11 rooms in the hotel, all of which come with satellite TV but not all of which have en suite bathrooms. There s also no elevator, but as the hotel only covers three floors that s not as much of a problem as it can be in some other (taller) elevator-less world poker tour chips wooden box hotels in Venice.
Rates for the en suite double rooms range from 50-150, depending on the season, so serious budget travelers who fancy the Hotel Ai Do Mori should target the
