Hotel Santa Marina - Former Convent with Private Water Landing

Private Water Access & Transport

The hotel has a private water landing at the back, allowing water taxis to drop guests and their luggage directly at the property. This eliminates the need to haul suitcases over Venice's bridges and steps. Guests can order a water taxi to the airport or other islands from this same pier, making arrivals and departures stress-free.

Complimentary Terrace Breakfast

A complimentary buffet breakfast is served daily, offering a wide selection of sweet and savory items, plus cooked-to-order scrambled eggs and bacon. In warmer months, breakfast is set on the hotel's terrace overlooking Santa Marina Square, providing a quiet start to the day. Guests also have access to a bar, a coffee house on site, and special diet menus upon request.

Guest Rooms & Decor

The guest rooms and suites feature marble floors and Murano glass furnishings, reflecting Venetian craftsmanship. Room types include Double or Twin, Superior Double, Small Double, and Suite, with some rooms offering a jacuzzi bath or a separate lounge area. Each room is equipped with a private bathroom, and the hotel provides amenities such as a safety deposit box, heating, and free Wi-Fi.

Location in a Quiet Square

The hotel sits in Campo Santa Marina, a quiet square off the main tourist routes, yet less than 10 minutes on foot from both the Rialto Bridge and St. Mark's Square. Nearby attractions include Chiesa di Santa Maria dei Miracoli and the Rialto vaporetto stop for water bus connections. The surrounding area has small grocery shops, local restaurants, and casual bars, offering an authentic Venetian neighborhood experience.

Services for All Guests

The hotel provides a 24-hour front desk, concierge service, luggage storage, and private check-in/check-out. Facilities for disabled guests include emergency cords in bathrooms, lower sinks, raised toilets with grab rails, and an elevator. A designated smoking area, outdoor furniture, and pet-friendly policies are available, making the hotel suitable for families and travelers with specific needs.

Highlights

Location: Quiet square, 10 min from Rialto Bridge and St. Mark's Square

“The location strikes a fine balance: close enough to Rialto and St. Mark's, yet tucked away in a quieter square. I appreciate the private water taxi landing; a civilized way to arrive in Venice. The blend of classic Venetian style with modern updates comes across well, creating an inviting atmosphere.”
