The 7 Best Venice Hotels for Views
Water, water everywhere—that pretty much sums up Venice. But surprisingly, a good number of Venetian hotels don’t offer much of a view. Not so with the accommodations below, which range from simple to deluxe, and where an astounding water view is all but guaranteed.
Hotel Danieli
Why it made the list
The iconic lagoon views from the rooftop Terrazza Danieli are not to be missed—come here for lunch or aperitivo to catch the water sparkling in the sunshine.
Westin Europa & Regina
Why it made the list
With the most terraces in Venice, and right on the Grand Canal to boot, you’re sure to find some unforgettable scenery.
Bauer Palazzo
Why it made the list
Don't miss getting a drink on the Bauer’s terrace, with stunning views of the Grand Canal. A number of guest rooms also have superlative water vistas (though some don’t, so look before you commit).
Aman Venice
Why it made the list
Perched on the Grand Canal—but away from frenetic St. Mark’s—the Aman offers water views from many of its luxurious rooms, as well as from the bar in the lovely garden.
Palazzo Barbarigo
Why it made the list
Grand Canal views are only part of the charm at this gorgeous little art deco hotel in San Polo. There’s even a romantic second-floor cocktail bar with a wonderful terrace.
Palazzo Stern
Why it made the list
For Grand Canal views in a peaceful atmosphere (in the Dorsoduro district), this pretty hotel delivers. A large number of the delightful guest rooms offer outlooks right on the water—a wonderful way to wake up.
Al Teatro
Why it made the list
Want to see (and hear) a crooning gondolier without ever leaving your room? This three-room B&B is nearly surrounded by water, and if you book the Amber Room, your private balcony is like sitting in the front row of a water opera.
