Arcadia Boutique Hotel, Venice
The Arcadia Boutique Hotel is a beautiful retreat tucked away in the historic Cannaregio district of Venice. Housed within a meticulously restored 17th-century palace, the hotel masterfully bridges the gap between old-world Venetian grandeur and modern luxury. It’s an adults-only property, which keeps the atmosphere quiet, intimate, and romantic, perfect for those looking to escape the busier tourist hubs.
The design inside is a love letter to the city’s artistic heritage. You’ll find authentic touches like stunning Murano glass chandeliers, elegant marble flooring, and exposed brick walls that highlight the building’s rich history. Every room is designed to feel like a private sanctuary, featuring high-end amenities like hand-embroidered Egyptian cotton sheets and custom Murano glass sinks.
A standout feature of the hotel is its “Skyfall Bar.” Located on the noble floor, this cozy spot is the heart of the hotel, where guests gather to enjoy a classic Venetian spritz or a glass of prosecco. The hotel also offers a highly personalized experience, with a small, attentive team that makes every guest feel like a personal friend.
Location-wise, you couldn’t ask for a better spot to explore the authentic side of Venice. You are just a short walk from the historic Jewish Ghetto and the scenic Ponte delle Guglie bridge. While you’re tucked away in a peaceful corner of the city, the iconic Rialto Bridge and the transport links at Santa Lucia train station are only a ten-minute stroll away, making it an incredibly convenient base for your Venetian adventures.
Expert reviews
“Find more reasonable rates and a warm welcome at the Hotel Arcadia, a new boutique hotel with 17 modern rooms in a restored palazzo on Cannaregio’s main drag. Included is an outstanding breakfast buffet served beneath wood-beamed ceilings and a gorgeous Murano-glass chandelier.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Venice, Italy.
“Sensational, modestly advertised boutique set in a 17th-century palazzo, with an appealing blend of old and new: The theme is Byzantium east-meets-west, combining elements of Venetian and Asian style, but the rooms are full of cool, modern touches.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Venice.

10/10 would stay here again
Can not fault my stay, the room was nice and spacious, bathroom is on the small side though but still very usable.
The comfiest bed I have had after a week of travelling in Italy!
Breakfast was included in my stay and they had a large range.
The staff were lovely and spoke english. Offer a map upon check in and gave some wonderful recommendations on where to sight see and how to get from A to B.
10 minute walk from the train station and only over one bridge. Located around restaurants. And about a 30min walk to San Macro so it was less busy.
The staff offered to hold my bag while I did a tour on check out day, and offered ammenties to freshen up before leaving which was very kind.
Robes are a nice touch!
Nothing, cannot fault my stay. I had the room right next to reception. At times some conversations were abit noisy, but overall the rooms are well sound proofed. I was impressed.

Gorgeous hotel handy for all locations.
Gorgeous hotel. Staff so friendly and amazing
Room was stunning, comfy and quiet.
Breakfast was well worth it. Location was great too
No complaints really. Had a few drinks in the hotel bar that in the information in the room stated "complimentary" but be careful as they aren't. Not expensive.

Very good experience overall 8/10 would recommend.
Immaculate and beautiful interior of room and common areas. Delicious breakfast offerings in the morning. Staff was friendly and helpful at all times.
No elevator for baggage and there are cheaper options available for that type of hotel.

Comfort and Value. Highly Recommended.
Great hotel that has been nicely renovated. The bed was comfortable and the space was adequate for solo or couple travelers. A less than 10-minute walk to Venice Santa Lucia station is also a big plus. Let me not forget the front desk people who are very welcoming and very accommodating.
The TV could be a little bigger, if I'm being picky.

Superior stay in a convenient upscale and elegant hotel.
Upscale hotel close to train station. Great location for day trips into city centre. Substantial breakfast. Elegant environment and spacious room.
Pricey for our Canadian exchange rate.

Close to train station, great breakfast and clean room
Location is great, about 10 mins from train station. You do need to pass a bridge to get to the hotel tho, if you are with big suitcase, better hide the portable “human” taxi to help move your stuff. The hotel is relatively new, just few years old, used to be a palace, according to the staff there. We got breakfast there, and it’s great!
The only thing I say is that the room we got is very small. But I can’t complain since it’s Venezia.

The Arcadia is conveniently located close to the train station, yet quiet and welcoming.
The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was excellent and served in a beautiful, spacious room. The bed was comfortable.
Could have used a little more closet space. The room was efficient, but cluttered quickly for lack of space and storage.

A great hotel to stay and close to the train station.
Hotel is a short walk from the train station. also great location when you have to return to the train station or bus transfers to airport. Breakfast is serve on the primary floor upstairs. Breakfast is hearty and quite nice. Everything from fruit , eggs, meats, cheese, pastries, pancakes and more. Help from the front desk is tremendous. Staff is tremendous. Very helpful making sure you are comfortable advise you how to get to everywhere you desire to go. I have stayed here many times. Elena, the new young lady at the front desk, was hired in January and she is great!!!! Best choice is adding her to the team. Francesca is always the heart beat of the hotel and has been there for about 20 years. You will love your stay.

28 November 2024
The hotel was really easy to get to from the airport and a good location for walking around Venice.
The room was very comfortable, the staff were friendly and helpful and the breakfasts were good.
It would have been nice to have had some kind of window onto the world, rather than onto a brick wall.

Staff is very helpful and friendly
Breakfast was really good
We were surprised that we had to take our luggage by stairs . If bags are heavy as ours were it’s not very pleasant .

A lovely relaxing stay in a superb hotel.
This a wonderful boutique hotel. The staff were great and very helpful. Even providing u with a map of venice if required. It has a very beautiful lounge and dining area. It's located 2 min away from a waterbus stop very handy for trips down the grand canal or to murano island. Would definitely stay there again if we came back to venice
Would have like a little more room round the bed .

Clean Hotel, Friendly Staff and Convenient Location
We were greeted by the friendly reception staff who gave us a lot of detail and a map to help guide us around. The room and bed was a good size with a substantial bathroom. Well equiped for a small hotel.
Buffet breakfast was in the lounge/bar area which was a nice intimate size and the staff were helpful.
Location was great as it was away from the main square but close to the railway station and the Gugile water taxi jetty.
Remember, if you use one, to bring a face towel as these are not provided.
The rooms nearest reception can be noisy if other clients aren't considerate when checking in late.
We liked being away the Piazza San Marco but it is a good 25-30min walk to get to it so worth thinking about getting a water taxi 24 or 48 hours pass.
