Top attractions such as Piazza San Marco a significant walk away
A 97-room classic Venetian property, B4 Bellini Venezia overlooks the Grand Canal near the bus terminal and train station. Rooms are traditional and elegant with small flat-screen TVs, Murano glass lamps, and big marble bathrooms -- some rooms have nice balconies, too. A bright breakfast room overlooks the garden and breakfast is free, but Wi-Fi is only available in the lobby and bar. Just note that the Cannaregio location is a significant trek from many popular tourist sights.
Scene
A classic hotel overlooking the Grand Canal
The grand lobby of B4 Bellini Venezia has marble checkered floors, glass chandeliers, and big gilded mirrors. Once a palace dating back to the 1600s, this hotel also has exposed wood beam ceilings. There are places to relax beyond the room such as the small, cozy bar and welcoming breakfast room overlooking the garden.
Location
Near the train station and bus terminal
Convenient for guests with heavy luggage, B4 Bellini Venezia is located an easy walk away from Venice’s train station and bus terminal. The hotel overlooks the Grand Canal in a busy neighborhood dense with restaurants and bars. Though it's removed from the main tourist actions, it is possible to explore on foot -- the Piazza San Marco (St. Mark's Square) is approximately 30 minutes away -- and the hotel is extremely close to a Vaporetto stop.
