Venice adventures made easy
This hotel gives you a practical base in Mestre, ideal if you want easy access to Venice without staying right in the middle of the lagoon crowds. Public transport links make it straightforward to reach Venice’s island heart, where canals, bridges, palaces, churches, and little backstreet bacari are waiting. St Mark’s Square, the Rialto Bridge, the Grand Canal, and the Doge’s Palace can all sit nicely on your sightseeing list.
The hotel keeps things simple and comfortable, with a relaxed setup that works well for city breakers who plan to spend most of the day exploring. Mestre itself adds handy extras, too, from shops and cafés to restaurants and transport connections, so you’ve got everything you need within easy reach. It’s a good choice if you like your Venice break with a practical base and plenty of flexibility.
Get the day started with an on-site breakfast before you head towards the lagoon. Later, Venice serves up the magic: cicchetti, seafood pasta, spritzes, gelato, and candlelit canal-side dinners. After a day of boats, bridges, and basilicas, heading back to Mestre keeps things refreshingly fuss-free.

Find out more about Mestre
In Mestre, city energy mixes with residential calm to create a Venetian suburb like no other. Over on the mainland, away from the city centre crowds, Mestre’s the gateway to the lagoon, offering easy access to Venice’s top sights and attractions.
Together with Carpenedo, Marghera, Favaro Veneto, Chirignago, Zelarino, and Tessera, Mestre forms part of the Greater Venice area. However, as it was only incorporated into Venice in the 1920s, it still has its own independent character. The modern town feels very different to the city’s historic centre.
Mestre has emerged as a top destination for savvy travellers exploring Venice, thanks to its strategic location and affordable transportation options. Mestre hotels are often cheaper than city centre alternatives, leaving you with more to spend on one-of-a-kind experiences, like those iconic gondola rides along the Grand Canal.
But Mestre’s more than just a base. It’s got a lively nightlife scene, cute shopping streets, and a vibrant cultural atmosphere waiting to be explored. From charming cafes to busy markets, Mestre offers a taste of the authentic lifestyle of Italy beyond the tourist crowds of Venice.
