Bottom Line

If you're looking for a centrally-located hotel that captures the charm of Venice, this boutique property is a nice option. There are very few on-site amenities aside from a generous breakfast buffet and a small rooftop, but the overall ambiance is incredibly romantic thanks to the canal-side location and spacious rooms bedecked in stylish, contemporary decor. Bathrooms are tiny and there's no elevator, but most find the hotel makes up for it with a friendly staff and often reasonable rates. Freebies include Wi-Fi and trips to the Murano glass factory.

Ad Place Venice

Scene

A romantic, boutique hotel that is favored by honeymooners and couples celebrating their anniversaries.

If you want the full Venice experience, the AD Place Venice is a nice option. Rooms overlook the canal where you might see singing gondoliers pass by the hotel. Candles and lanterns light the hotel's entryway at night, setting the mood for a romantic honeymoon or trip to celebrate one's wedding anniversary. The hotel also rents out apartments, convenient for those traveling with their families or friends.

The rooms and common areas are outfitted in brightly colored Venetian baroque furnishings and Murano lamps. The hotel also has a small bar and a rooftop lounge outfitted with comfy cushions, where you can sip some limoncello and enjoy the view.

Location

Centrally located hotel near St. Mark's Square and the Rialto bridge.

The hotel is in a central location, just a few minutes from St. Mark's Square and the Rialto bridge. There's also a food market two blocks away. It's next to the main canal route for gondolas, so you can hear the music and singing as the gondoliers glide by. It's a short walk to a water taxi stop. In spite of the proximity to main sights, guests report that the hotel is fairly quiet.

Some travelers say the hotel is a bit difficult to find, as is the case with many places in Venice.
