There are more than 2000 hotels in tiny Venice - the city is in high demand almost all year round. At the same time, the price-service ratio is one of the worst in Europe. In order to make your trip as successful as possible and your accommodation not overshadowed by impressions, BlogoItaliano decided to share his own selection of 5 most notable 4 star Venice hotels.
Our first impromptu list is a great luxury hotel on the canal between San Marco Square and Rialto Bridge.
Hotel Ai Reali Guest Rating - 9.1 out of 10
Hotel Ai Reali is located within the walls of an old palazzo, and, being inside, you really feel like a Venetian doge. The luxurious interior, rich and sophisticated, dates back to the heyday of the republic, recalling the once gorgeous balls and social events that took place here.
This is a full-fledged complex, where under one roof there is a spa, a gym, and the beautiful Alle Corone restaurant, worthy of special mention. The hotel has its own pier, from which you can immediately go down to the water taxi or gondola.
Under the roof of the hotel has its own: spa, gym and restaurant
All rooms are decorated in the same style, supporting the concept of a classic palace setting. Velvet-lined walls, antique furniture, stucco moldings high ceilings, intricate baroque lights, lush drapes on the windows combined with an airy veil - truly a paradise for an esthete.
One negative point that many guests celebrate is the excessive well-trained staff. Of course, these people are high-class professionals, but through hypocritical courtesy a little bit of hypocrisy is still felt.

Hotel L'Orologio 9.3 out of 10
Behind the typical Venetian facades lies a hotel with a modern eclectic interior. Wooden beams under the ceiling, painted white, harmoniously coexist with minimalist furniture and decor in the form of a panel of metal gears over the head of the bed.
The hotel is located right on the banks of the Grand Canal, and if you are lucky you can get a room with stunning views of the main waterway of Venice and the famous Ca d'Oro Palace on the other side. You won’t have to go long to other interesting places either: the Rialto Bridge and the Ca 'Pesaro Art Gallery are very close by, and the San Marco district is 10-15 minutes walk.

The hotel's ground floor is occupied by a nice lounge bar, where it is pleasant to pass the evening, watching the boats and gondolas passing by. And from the open terrace of the top floor you can see the terracotta roofs of the city.

Hotel A La Commedia 9.3 out of 10
First of all, the Hotel A La Commedia has an attractive location. It is located on a quiet street away from crowds, but close to the city center - about 10 minutes walk. 100 meters from the hotel is the vaporetto pier, from where you can reach any place in Venice.
The hotel got its name for a reason - right in front of it is the Goldoni Theater, bearing the name of the famous Venetian playwright, a comedy genre reformer. The theater even resembles the interior decoration: already at the reception desk, crowned with a red curtain, as if you are on the stage.
Opposite the hotel is the Goldoni Theater - hence the name La Commedia
The rooms are decorated in a restrained classic style - elegantly, but without excessive pomp: in bright colors with an emphasis on luxurious textiles.
On the roof there is a romantic terrace with a bar, laden with flowers and palm trees, from which you can admire the rooftops of ancient Venice and the bell tower of San Marco in the distance.

Hotel Palazzo Veneziano 9.4 out of 10
For connoisseurs of art and architecture, the Palazzo Veneziano is a great choice. It is located in Dorsoduro, which has gained fame today in the most bohemian region of Venice. There is probably no such concentration of museums, galleries and architectural monuments anywhere else in the city.
The hotel building is located on the banks of the Judecca Canal, just a stone's throw away - the vaporetto pier. The Peggy Guggenheim Museum of the Academy and the Peggy Collection will take no more than 10 minutes. And crossing the Academy Bridge, you will already find yourself in the San Marco area.

Designers created a light and comfortable atmosphere in the rooms, relying on modern classics. The decoration used only the highest quality materials: first-class textiles, marble and dark wood.
It is really nice to be here and in everything you feel the touch of luxury, not flashy, but noble and calm.

Liassidi Wellness Suites 9.7 out of 10
Luxurious hotel with exceptional service, located in one of the narrow streets of Venice, 5 minutes from St. Mark's Square.
Hotel owners put the interests and comfort of their guests at the forefront, giving key attention to the size of the rooms, and not their number. You will find 5 exclusively decorated spacious rooms and a cute patio, hidden from prying eyes.
The decor of each suite is unique and was created individually for each room. There is no notorious hotel impersonality experienced travelers so often complain about.
Being in the room, you feel at home, where each item in its place, is selected thoughtfully and tastefully. By the way, all rooms are equipped not just with a bathroom, but also with their own hammam.
The hotel has 5 exclusive rooms and a lovely patio.
The pride of the hotel is the King Suite with an area of 70 m2 with a huge bed and a real spa area, which overlooks the canal. It includes a hot tub, hammam and Finnish sauna.
The hotel staff can be entrusted with absolutely any whim; they will make your stay in Venice completely carefree. This is not just a concierge service - guests are accompanied by their own butler, ready to fulfill one or another request, be it a romantic breakfast on a secluded patio or unpacking luggage from the road.
