A 10-room boutique in one of Venice’s most elegant neighborhoods, Corte Di Gabriela is a chic residence that blends modern polish with historical touches. Located in San Marco an easy walk from the city’s top attractions, this quiet hotel has a pretty internal courtyard and lovely breakfast room with big buffet. No two stylish rooms are the same; some have frescoes on the ceiling while others have canal views -- all have big, modern bathrooms, iPads, and free Wi-Fi. All in all, it's one of the best upscale choices in the neighborhood, but it's worth comparing rates with the Hotel Saturnia.

There are two buildings making up the 32-room Hotel Colombina near St. Mark’s Square. There is the main building with upscale rooms -- some overlooking the canal running under the Bridge of Sighs -- and there is also an annex building, the Locanda Remedio, which has mid-range rooms.

Famous theaters Goldoni, La Fenice and Malibran are all within a 10-minute walk. Another upscale hotel, the Hotel a La Commedia** **is more expensive and not located on a canal, but has a lovely outdoor rooftop bar.

The 79-room Hotel Rialto Venezia has a fabulous, central location overlooking the Rialto Bridge and Grand Canal. Features include a canal-side outdoor terrace and quality breakfast buffet. Rooms are clean and have nice details like glass chandeliers, but the decor is dated and a bit worn. The location is near a vaporetto stop and host of attractions, while some guests complain about noise.

The Hotel San Gallo is a quaint two-and-a-half pearl boutique property in the heart of San Marco, just a one-minute walk from Saint Mark’s Square. It has a slightly shabby terrace on the top floor for impressive views over Venice’s rooftops. There’s a traditional Venetian style throughout, with modest communal areas and 15 rooms that are simple and comfortable with eye-catching headboards, but a mostly homey style. Amenities include satellite TVs, minibars, telephones, and air-conditioning, as well as small desks and luggage racks. The charming breakfast room is open throughout the year, though guests prefer dining on the terrace during the warmer months. Rates are high, but that's the norm for the neighborhood. For a more luxurious stay in San Marco, consider Palazzo Paruta.

The 119-room Bauer Hotel is a convenient two-minute walk from St. Mark's Square in the heart of Venice. This exclusive Art Deco-influenced property has a grand lobby full of gold accents and chandeliers as well as traditionally decorated rooms with high ceilings and big, modern bathrooms. The hotel features a restaurant and two bars; Bar Canale has an outdoor terrace and Grand Canal views. There is nice variety in the daily breakfast buffet, but rooms lack tea or coffee facilities. Rates are typically lower at the nearby Hotel Saturnia, but the Bauer is arguably a bit more elegant.

The Albergo San Marco is in an excellent location steps away from the shops, restaurants and historical sights of St. Mark’s Square. However, the mid-range, 56-room hotel is need of renovation. The floors are uneven and paint has chipped off its façade. The historical Venetian decor inside the rooms looks a bit dated in some cases, rather than charmingly old-fashioned. It's one of the more affordable options in this central location, but it's also worth considering the similarly priced Hotel Ala.

The Oltre il Giardino is an upscale boutique hotel with only six rooms built to feel like a home. All of the comfortable rooms blend classic and modern touches and overlook a serene garden, which is a rare find in Venice. The hotel is down an alley and on a side canal in an area that is off the beaten path and away from the noise of the city -- but still within walking distance of the Rialto Bridge. The hotel books up quickly due to its small size, and guests looking for an intimate experience may also want to consider the seven-room Al Ponte Antico Hotel, which has a slightly more convenient location, as well as views of the Grand Canal and Rialto Bridge.

A barebones guesthouse near the train station, Aloggi Gerotto Calderan is a no-frills hotel with both private and dorm-style rooms. There is no elevator, no breakfast, and a nightly curfew, but the spare rooms are clean and some overlook a pretty square. Wi-Fi is free, if unreliable, and some rooms have shared bathrooms. This basic, affordable hotel has a reasonably convenient Cannaregio location by the train station and a Vaporetto stop; many other budget options in Venice are further removed from the city center.

The 63-room Amadeus Hotel is a classic property in the Cannaregio district, an easy walk from the train station and bus terminal. Main tourist attractions including San Marco and Rialto are a long walk away. A serene interior garden has chairs and umbrellas and a free breakfast buffet has both hot and cold items. Rooms are mostly quiet with stocked minibars (some have balconies overlooking the garden) but most are worn and in need of an update. Wi-Fi is free but inconsistent.

Hotel Moresco is a 23-room boutique on a small canal near Venice’s bus terminal. The tranquil bar with library and fireplace provides a welcoming setting where guests can relax with a drink and snack upon check-in. Spacious, bright rooms have fun names -- such as The Scribe and The Gondolier -- and include mosaics in bathrooms, flat-screen TVs, and big antique mirrors. But the hotel's location is somewhat removed from tourist attractions. Aqua Palace Hotel has a more central location, but its rates tend to be a tad higher.
