Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Bucintoro
Castello 2135/A, Venice, Veneto, 30122, Italy
"All rooms with a view" touts this pensione (modest lodging)-turned-four-star-hotel—and the views are indeed expansive: from the hotel's waterfront location near lively Via Garibaldi, your windows swing open to a panorama that sweeps from the Lido across the basin to San Giorgio and San Marco; upper-floor vistas are particularly inspiring. Decor could be termed "understated maritime," meaning deep mahogany wood tones, brass accents, and nautical appliqué abound, from railings to reading lamps to hallway lighting. Enjoy breakfast, a sunset aperitivo, or a nightcap on the quayside terrace.
PROS
- lagoon views from all rooms
- waterfront without the San Marco crowds
- near the Arsenale vaporetto stop
CONS
- yachts sometimes dock outside, blocking lagoon views, and without those views the hotel is really overpriced
- some rooms on the small side
- noise from boats when windows are open
