Elegant palace off the tourist trail
Located in the bustling Santa Croce district – where romantic eateries line medieval streets and young couples share al fresco sips in elegant squares – this four-star hotel feels a world away from the tourist trail. Yet it’s just a 10-minute walk from the Rialto Bridge and only a 15-minute drive from the airport.
Occupying a delightful 15th-century palace, the hotel overlooks San Giacomo dell’Orio square, which is blessed with bars and restaurants and hosts lively carnival celebrations in the lead-up to Lent. The elegant rooms each have Wi-Fi, a flat-screen TV, and a minibar, while the apartments come with fully-equipped kitchenettes.
Whether or not you’re self-catering, the hotel serves a delicious continental breakfast buffet every morning, featuring everything from traditional Venetian pastries to gluten-free goodies, while the hotel’s secret garden is the perfect place to taste some local wine and soak up the sun.
When you’re not out seeing the sights – including the Palazzo Franchetti and St. Mark's Square, which are 20 minutes away by foot – you can work up a sweat at the hotel’s gym or indulge in a massage at the hotel’s spa area. Alternatively, head to the onsite tea room for an elegant afternoon brew.

What Hotel Aquarius Venice has to offer
Venice Carnival
Featuring period costumes, street parades, and elaborate balls, ‘Carnevale’ dates back to the 11th Century and typically takes place in January or February. Be sure to don a mask for the festivities.
The Rialto Bridge
The oldest of the four bridges which cross Venice’s Grand Canal, the Rialto was first built in the early 12th Century. It has since been reconstructed several times and is just a 10-minute walk from the hotel.
