Hotel Bauer Palazzo, Venice
More photosExpert reviews
“The Bauer used to be two hotels, joined by a communal lobby: the 1940s brutalist Bauer L’Hotel, and the more classical 18th-century Il Palazzo, right on the Grand Canal. 2017 saw them come together to form a single property — and with 200 rooms at its disposal, it’s a winning combination.”

Amazing we would go back in a heart beat.
A stunning location right in the heart of San Marco. Excellent views from a large spacious suite. Service was excellent you definitely get the 5 star experience- living the dream. Nothing was too much trouble and the concierge team were phenomenal.
It was all great. A Venetian hotel with all the historical features and modern comforts

Disappointing rooms, great location.
Location was great and the terrace was wonderful for breakfast.
Our suite was very dark and lights needed to be on all day. The rooms smelled stale but in opening the windows I let in mosquitos so made matters worse.

over priced for service
location was excellent
a 5 star hotel with none of the 5 star experience or service.
breakfast was included in room rate yes it was a 15 euros to have it delivered to the room. Ordered 2 coffees to the room and the delivery charge was more that the cost of the coffee. No iron as it was deemed a safety issue but they would happily press for a ridiculous extra charge. Mini bar cooler didn't work. We forgot our charger and hotel had none and no adapters to offer. All staff very rude and everything seemed an effort. Very disappointing given the price paid.

Lovely, old-fashioned hotel right on the Grand Canal. We got a good deal as we booked a year ago, so for us it was good value although I see that prices have risen significantly. Throughout our stay the staff we met were friendly and efficient but unobtrusive. The breakfasts were great but we didn't eat there otherwise. I believe the hotel is soon to undergo renovation and I hope they don't lose all of the beautiful old features like the deco room numbers and doors.
We were happy with everything. It's a minor gripe but having a double bed rather than twin beds pushed together would've been preferable. .

Hotel Al Ponte Antico, Venice
Lonely Planet + 2 more“Like a courtesan’s boudoir, this 16th-century palazzo is swathed in damask wall coverings, heavy silk curtains and thick, plush carpets. A smiling host greets you at the padded, golden reception desk and whisks you up to large, unabashedly lavish rooms with enough gilt to satisfy Louis XIV.”
Hotel Palazzo Barbarigo Sul Canal Grande, Venice
CNN + 1 more“This fantastic little hotel on the Grand Canal, Palazzo Barbarigo occupies a small, unassuming building reached via the alleyways of San Polo. Room décor strikes out boldly from Venetian norms, with a sultry art deco feel.”
Hostel Combo Venezia, Venice
Telegraph“Combo, located in a restored ex convent in the Cannareggio area, is a hostel that brings together students and travellers. The atmosphere is young, welcoming and creative with lots of weekly events, ranging from art exhibitions to DJ sets.”
Hotel Sina Centurion Palace, Venice
CNN + 2 more“Unlike the other luxury hotels on the Grand Canal, the Centurion Palace has ditched the traditional frou-frou Venetian style and opted for thoroughly modern bling. Bathrooms are clad in real gold leaf, bedrooms are given bright palettes and ceilings in the main wing can be enormous.”
