Hotel Londra Palace is a small and elegant four-pearl hotel that overlooks the Venetian Lagoon, just east of the San Zaccaria vaporetto stop and a five-minute walk from St. Mark's Square. With no fitness center or spa, the emphasis here is on the lavish public spaces and rooms. Decorated in 19th-century Biedermeier style, the 53 rooms all come with free Wi-Fi, mini-bars, and flat-screen TVs. Some feature lagoon views and all are a sharp step up from the frequently drab interiors at other historic hotels throughout central Venice. The hotel's top-notch restaurant serves innovative Venetian cuisine, and has a terrace overlooking the lagoon. While the Londra Palace isn't quite as luxurious as the nearby Hotel Danieli, it's smaller and more intimate, and has slightly lower rates.

The three-pearl Hotel Sant'Antonin is a quaint, boutique property in central Venice. In a city packed with tourist crowds, a greenery-filled garden here draws travelers with its tranquil setting and charming terraces, and attention to detail continues in the 18 rooms. The charming rooms are decently sized for Venice, outfitted with flat-screen TVs, minibars, and AC, though Wi-Fi can be unsteady. Served on garden verandas, free buffet breakfasts offer quality continental options, plus great coffees. Mostly romancing couples frequent this property for the peace and quiet it affords, but the lack of a restaurant, bar, and in-room kettles are downsides. Tranquility-seeking travelers looking to be nearer San Marco should compare rates and amenities with Locanda La Corte.

Sitting at the waterfront of St. Mark’s Basin, Hotel Danieli is a luxury property with direct access to water taxis and walking distance to many top attractions. The Danieli itself is an attraction, with a rich history of hosting royalty and celebrities dating back to the 1300s. Most of its 210 rooms are luxe and romantic with a classical Venetian flair, but a few rooms are small with decor that leans toward dated.

The 28-room Hotel Do Pozzi is a typical lower-middle-range hotel with classic Venetian decor -- ornate in the lobby, sparser in the rooms -- and limited amenities. It's located right in the heart of Venice, a four-minute walk to St. Mark's Square and a two-minute walk to the Grand Canal. Rooms are simple but tasteful, with wooden floors, air-conditioning, satellite TVs, and minibars, and there's a free breakfast served either in the breakfast room, the outdoor courtyard, or right in guest rooms. The nearby Hotel Violino d'Oro offers comparable digs with more ornate decor and a small cocktail bar, though its entry-level rooms are located in a less-desirable annex.

The budget Generator Hostel Venice attracts mostly young travelers seeking a hip and pleasant place to stay on the cheap. This former warehouse on Giudecca island is accessible from the mainland by a 15-minute boat ride. It was renovated in 2013, but still maintains original features such as exposed brick and wood beams that are paired with a fun and eclectic mix of vintage furnishings. The spacious lobby is also home to a stylish restaurant and bar area. The 29 private and shared rooms (235 beds total) are clean and comfortable, though fairly basic and not all have en-suite bathrooms. Laundry facilities and free Wi-Fi are available, but breakfast is not included and there's no guest kitchen. For a reasonably priced alternative on the mainland, consider the budget Stella Alpina Edelweiss, which isn't as stylish, but breakfast is included.

The 76-room Giorgione Hotel is a three-pearl property with an excellent location in the Cannaregio district. It's within walking distance of numerous restaurants, shops, and attractions, and public transportation is nearby as well. Housed in an 18th-century former warehouse, the hotel maintains that historic charm. Rooms are decorated in a classic Venetian style that some may consider elegant and others see as old-fashioned. Some have balconies or terraces. The main highlight here is a lovely central courtyard with a spa pool that's open in warmer months. Breakfast is served here, followed by lunch and snacks. It's also worth considering the UNA Hotel Venezia, which offers free breakfast and snacks, and where classic rooms look far less old. However, rates there are a bit higher and Wi-Fi isn't free.
