The 43-room Hotel L’Orologio is a four-pearl design boutique with a central location a 10-minute walk from St. Mark’s Square. Rooms have black wood-heavy decor punctuated by bright pops of red, yellow, or green, and upscale amenities such as flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, minibars, and electric kettles. Many rooms have panoramic Grand Canal views, but a few overlook a small side street and are a tad dark. The bar is a nice, quiet spot for a nightcap, and free breakfast is served daily in the adjacent room or the tiny shaded terrace by the Grand Canal. Travelers looking for a property with more historical touches and a location even closer to St. Mark's Square may want to compare rates with the Corte Di Gabriela.

The 48-room Hotel Montecarlo is a comfy, budget-friendly hotel close to the Piazza San Marco. Classic antique-inspired furnishings (that border on being just plain dated) and flat-screen TVs fill small, yet cozy rooms on a busy street. The hotel features a cozy bar, a buffet breakfast room with traditional furnishings, and a TV room with an Internet corner, but space in common areas is limited and can feel cramped. The three-pearl Hotel American Dinesen offers more spacious common areas and rooms, and has canal views.

The 39-room Hotel Belle Epoque is a two-and-a-half-pearl property located on the dynamic Lista di Spagna in Venice’s Cannaregio district. While some corners of the hotel are starting to show their age, a bold approach to design in common areas -- with chandeliers, columns, and gilded furnishings -- certainly tries to look glamorous. The Venetian-inspired rooms are on the small side, but match some of Belle Epoque’s nearby competitors. Unfortunately, in-room amenities are limited, and include old tube TVs and small bathrooms. The over-the-top breakfast room is popular and usually crowded with guests in the mornings, but like most lower-middle-range hotels in this neighborhood, other extras are few and far between. Travelers looking for something more modern might prefer Carnival Palace Hotel, though prices there can be a bit higher.

Hotel Principe is a formal, upscale 139-room hotel with classic touches in the Cannaregio district on the Grand Canal. The view is amazing on the terrace overlooking the canal where guests can enjoy all meals, including the free breakfast. It’s a four-minute walk to the Santa Lucia train station but farther way from more traditional tourist destinations like San Marco. The furnishings are traditional, and some guests have complained of small rooms and unpleasant odors. It’s worth comparing the hotel Principe to the Carnival Palace Hotel which is more modern but farther from the train station.
