Venice hotels in April
We are ending our Northen Italy vacation in Venice and flying out at the crack of dawn of course. Looking for recommendations in the $250-300 per night range.
We have lots of Amex points as well that we could transfer to a hotel group.
Thoughts?
Areas?
Thanks

In the San Marco area, but not right at the Piazza the Duodo Palace Hotel. There is a canal entrance for water taxi's and a street entrance as well. There is an elevator, and the front desk staff were very nice and professional. The rooms are nice and fairly large for Venice, and the breakfast was good too. The hotel is very close to La Fenice.
I stayed here in September and found it to be very comfortable, well located and quiet.

Bob- Thank you for your recommendations! I am researching them now!.
Considering the Hotel FLora and Locando Orseolo, as well as Pensione La Calcina,
We will be there 3 nights in mid-late April. Your favorite?
Also, a question re: Airport transfers.... We leave from Venice EARLY in the am, like at 7 am, to return home (via Rome to head back to Miami)..... are any of these hotels any easier access to the airport? I guess we will need a 4 am wake up!!

This is probably a situation where I would spring for a water taxi from the hotel to the airport.
Pensione La Calcina (which we love) is very near the Zattere stop for the Alilaguna "Blue Line" which goes to the airport, but the first departure (4:40 a.m., arriving at the airport at 6:07 a.m.) will not be early enough if your flight is 'at' 7:00 a.m.

The ATVO express bus from Piazzale Roma to the airport is very quick. Probably less than 30 minutes, starting I think around 5:00 a.m. But you'd have to get to Piazzale Roma, so whether that works well for you would depend on the hotel.

Another vote for the Locanda Orseolo, loved it. We also had an early morning flight and sprang for the water taxi, which came right to the water door in the hotel, very convenient, at that early hour I am not interested in any complicated commuting.
Also it was really fun to leave Venice in this manner,streaking across the waves watching her recede into the distance; it felt a bit like being in a Bond movie! How often do you go to the airport in this manner?
In any event I would not stay near the airport.

BTW -- it is a small airport and you might check with your airline to see when they open in the morning -- no sense getting there 2 hours early with nothing open (I've taken a 7 a.m. flight out heading to US and eventually west coast).
Although we are familiar enough to make a complicated commute, we also would opt for the water taxi from Locanda Orseolo.
