Hotel Santa Chiara Hotel  

Perched on Venice’s Grand Canal right at Piazzale Roma, this hotel sits opposite the train station and a few steps from the waterbus stop. It’s the easiest-to-reach hotel in the city, with private valet parking by reservation and quick access to the cruise terminal and Marco Polo Airport.

Housed in a renovated 500‑year‑old palace, rooms mix Venetian tradition with modern comforts — think silk‑covered walls, parquet or classic Venetian floors and Murano chandeliers in the Deluxe units. Many Deluxe and Deluxe View rooms look straight onto the Grand Canal, while the nearby annex offers simpler, budget‑friendly options connected to the main building.

Enjoy lobby, breakfast room and bar with Grand Canal views, a rooftop terrace and a small garden for relaxing between canalside walks. Helpful services include concierge and a tour desk, laundry/dry cleaning, 24‑hour front desk and limited onsite parking with valet; the hotel can arrange transfers and shuttle service for a fee. Free wired and wireless internet keeps you connected while you wake up to lagoon breezes.

Complimentary wired and wireless high‑speed internet and a 24‑hour front desk make short work trips easy.

A canal‑facing breakfast room serves continental breakfasts and the bar/lounge is perfect for evening drinks. There’s also a coffee shop/café for snacks and limited‑hour room service, with espresso makers available in rooms for authentic Italian coffee moments.
