Honeymoon hotel in Venice for under £200 ($325) a night
 
My fiance and i are wanting to go to Venice for our honeymoon. We are looking for a hotel for under $325 (228 Euros) a night. We really like chic, clean, modern hotels (i know this isn't very Ventian but nevermind). Does anyone know of any hotels that fit the bill?

Thanks in advance!

I forgot to say that although we do like modern hotels, it must also be fairly romantic and worthy of a honeymoon :)

You need to say when you are travelling. Rates change a LOT according to the seasons.

In 2004 and 2005 I stayed at Foscari Palace 4*, that had been opened only a year or less, both times with a direct Grand Canal view. Very satisfying experience, rooms, breakfast, rooftop terrace for 360 view of Venice ... Only a 29-room boutique type of hotel. I also liked its East Cannaregio location - 5 minutes walk to Rialto Bridge.

1st time deluxe double with 2 windows for € 160.
1nd time Gonzaga suite with 4 windowns (50m2), 3 of which were facing the Grand Canal with a balcony each (standing only - typical) for €230. Both times, it was in the lowest season (NOV - DEC). It must have costed double or more in high seasons.

There are so many choices of hotels in Venice but this was one of the best I have made so far.

Sorry, forgot to say we will be travelling in the first couple of weeks of September.

Ok high season. You can try nice 3* hotels such as

http://www.lacalcina.com/

La Calcina's tariff says Sep is a peak season, even higher than a mere high season, their best rooms between €210 - 310. I think you should take a room with Giudecca Canal frontla view.

Oh, sorry, neither are particularly modern. Only well maintained with air-con (I would prefer having it in SEP). In any case they are very popular. Calcina has a deck restaurant on the water. Also has a rooftop terrace.
