The theme here, reflected in the decor, is Venice's connection with the exotic East. Some rooms and suites overlook the expansive canal along the Fondamenta della Sensa, one of the bright, broad byways typical of the upper Cannaregio district. In good weather, you can also take breakfast or a Venetian Spritz cocktail at a sunny table along the canal. Though the atmosphere hearkens back to Venice's past, facilities and amenities are everything you'd expect from a 21st-century establishment, and the staff is accommodating. Ask about the type and location of room you're reserving when booking. Pros: Modern construction, nice for families, large number of rooms makes it a good last-minute option. Con: Some might consider the hotel remote from the Piazza.
