Overview

Location. Tucked away on a quiet street next to a little canal, the San Marco Palace is a tranquil retreat 70 metres from St Mark's Square and 350 metres from the shopping areas around Rialto Bridge. The nearest airport is Venice Marco Polo, 13 kilometres from the Piazzale Roma, Venice's only entry point by car.
Hotel Features. Guests relax on red leather banquettes in the small lobby with its dark-wood panelling and Murano- glass chandeliers, and plan their days with the aid of concierges who offer tour advice and restaurant recommendations. Complimentary newspapers and wireless Internet access are available in the lobby and breakfast room. Room service, serving coffee and drinks, is available around the clock from a partner hotel 10 metres away.

Guests of San Marco Palace can enjoy a American buffet breakfast each morning in the dark-wood panelled dining room with marble floor, gold table linens and drapes, Murano-glass chandeliers, damask wall insets, and views of the narrow canal in front of the hotel.

The Lido, a slender, 11 kilometre-long island facing the Adriatic Sea lies a 15-minute water-bus ride east of historical Venice's centre. In summer it becomes the city's playground, when beaches and water sports draw visitors and Venetians alike. Year-round, visitors rent bicycles to explore the island, take horseback rides, and play golf, tennis, and volleyball. Deep-sea fishing is available in the Adriatic Sea.

Guestrooms. San Marco Palace offers 26 guestrooms and suites spread over six storeys. All feature clean, bright decor with dark-wood trim, wooden floors, and contemporary Venetian-style furniture. Furnishings include dining sets and desks. Amenities include satellite television, safes, minibars, and dial- up Internet connections; a turndown service is also provided. Tiled bathrooms come with bathrobes, slippers, heated towel rails, hair dryers, and complimentary toiletries.

Expert Tip. Tucked away near the hotel is the Museum of Erotic Art, a popular attraction for visitors who can locate it. It's visible to the right at the end of the short street on which the hotel is located.

San Marco Palace - All Suites San Marco

A short guide to San Marco

San Marco (St Mark’s) is quintessential visitors’ Venice. The Piazza San Marco, famous for its pigeons, campanile, basilica, Palazzo Ducale (Doge’s Palace) and expensive cafes, is unmissable. The waterfront views are legendary and more gondolas depart from here than anywhere else in the city. In season the Piazza teems with day trippers though just a block or two away streets are quiet and offer more museums and palaces to explore.

Superb suite located just of Piazza San Marco (less than 1 minutes walk). The hotel is easy to find, the directions are very clear and accurate. The size and quality of the suite was very impressive far better than we expected for the price.

Recommended Trip type: Family "Wonderful hotel"

Reviewed by Mary of Phoenix on Jun 16, 2009

This hotel is well worth the money that we spent. We took our 2 girls, who are 18, on holiday with us and we had a quad suite. It was a nicely appointed room, great Air Conditioning, which we needed in Venice in June. The location couldn't have been better...just 75 yards from San Marco Square. The staff was wonderful and very accommodating. The breakfast that was included was much more than a continental breakfast. They served everything except eggs to order. The had WiFi available at no charge if you have your own computer....but also offer WiFi for a fee if you use their computer. We stayed 3 days and wished we could have stayed a week. The day we were leaving, we had a later flight to the airport and wanted a late check out. They were completely booked, so they didn't allow us to stay in our room, but they locked up our baggage so we could have lunch and not drag our bags with us. They also coordinated our water taxi back to the airport. This is a wonderful hotel and I would highly recommended it!

The hotel was superbly located,a very spacious suite that suited our family of 5 very well. Service at Reception,concierge,and Room service excellent and very responsive, we needed extra pillows, they arrived immediately, had a maintenance issue which was also sorted out speedily . The only minor issue was the bathroom which was a bit tired and the shower could have been better. Overall an excellent venue to stay for the family

Reviewed by Susan of Columbia on Apr 13, 2009

We were traveling as a family of 5 with three teen/early 20's age children. We only had a couple of days in Venice and knew that our must sees were all in Saint Mark's square. Our suite accomodation and excellent location were perfect for us. Lying in bed, I had a great view of Saint Mark's Tower. While the price was a little steep, nothing in Venice is cheap and the location and quality of the hotel met all of our expectations.

Recommended Trip type: Family "Great For Families"

Reviewed by Pete of Freehold on Aug 7, 2008

OK this is my first review, so believe that I am going out of my way here so everyone can see what a great hotel this really is. The location is perfect, our room faced the bell tower. The location is steps from the piazza, this is good when you walked all day and need to get back to the room quickly. The down side is that the water taxi cannot reach the hotel, so you would need to dock the water taxi about 350 yards away and walk with all of your stuff to the hotel. Porters are available to assist you with your luggage. Also, eating dinner near or on the piazza is costly. The best bet is to walk down the very romantic streets to very quaint restaurants that are less costly and give you more food. Also, this hotel offers a continental breakfast that is more than continental. It is a slight step below a full breakfast.

Recommended Trip type: Family "Great location, difficult to find, highly recommended"

Reviewed by Terri of Portland on Jul 18, 2008

We stayed 4 nights in this hotel with our 3 boys, in a 1-BR Suite. We had plenty of room, the hotel was very clean with helpful staff, and the location is great. Very close to San Marco Square, but on a quiet alley-canal. It's difficult to find at first, but another review on this website gave great directions; very helpful. Close to shops, restaurants, museums, water-taxis, water-busses, walking distance to Rialto bridge and most other sites of interest on Venice. We'd return anytime; highly recommended.

What a great way to stay as a large group (6people) in Venice. Hotel was right by San Marco Square, but off it enough to give some privacy. The staff was accommodating and nice. I have already told Friends to book there if they go.

Wir waren vom Hotel allgemein enttäuscht. Das Zimmer, resp. die Suite war zwar riesig, aber sehr alt und vernachlässigt. Die Aussicht entweder auf einen schmutzigen Innenhof oder auf eine Wand. Die Suite war sehr schlecht aufgeteilt und entsprach überhaupt nicht einem 5-Sterne Hotel. Kein Internet Point im ganzen Hotel!
