Garden Hotel Michelangelo

This hotel is your smart “Venice, but with breathing space” base in Mestre. You’ll be a one-minute stroll from the T1 tram stop (Manunzio), with trams running every 10 minutes and the lagoon glitter just a short ride away. Before you head island-side, warm up locally with a wander around Piazza Ferretto, the M9 museum, or a quick look at Forte Marghera nearby.

Back at the hotel, it’s all about easy logistics and relaxed downtime. There’s a bright lounge, an American bar for pre-dinner spritzes, and plenty of green space to decompress after a day of bridges and gelato. Mornings kick off with a continental buffet breakfast featuring local products, so you can fuel up properly before you chase gondola views. Parking’s on hand for road-trippers, Wi-Fi is fast, and the 24-hour reception has your back for late arrivals and early escapes.
