The 25-room Hotel Dei Dragomanni is an upscale property in the heart of Venice. Piazza San Marco is less than a 10-minute walk from the hotel, and there are plenty of luxury boutiques in the immediate area. Rooms are elegant, with classic details and modern amenities such as minibars, free Wi-Fi, and flat-screen TVs. For Venice, many of them are spacious, and families can get connecting rooms. Some have terraces and views of the Grand Canal. A free continental breakfast is available, and there is a bar, but otherwise features here are thin. The Hotel Rialto Venezia has nice outdoor spaces and directly overlooks the Grand Canal, but interiors are much fussier.

Palazzina G (formerly Palazzina Grassi), is a 25-room luxury hotel known for being the first hotel in Italy to be designed by the renowned French designer Philippe Starck. It’s a small and quiet property in a great location -- all the main tourist spots in Venice are within walking distance, as are a good variety of shops and restaurants. There’s a fashionable bar and restaurant on-site, and the decor throughout is eclectic and hip. Rooms are chic and elegant, but for five-pearl prices, they are small, with no tea- and coffee-making facilities, and many have no view (though some have big balconies and some suites have Grand Canal views). Room rates are comparable with the Boscolo Venezia Autograph Collection, which is further out of the historic center of Venice, but offers a grander, more traditional style with the bonus of a spa.

Starhotels Splendid Venice is an upscale property within a two-minute walk of the Piazza San Marco. Its 165 contemporary rooms include Italian marble bathrooms, fine fabrics, and modern amenities like espresso machines, minibars, and flat-screen TVs -- but guests report that the air-conditioning can be weak. A free breakfast is served under a glass roof in a courtyard, and the hotel has a formal restaurant as well as a lovely rooftop bar and lobby lounge. Wi-Fi is free, and guests can use computers at the on-site business center. The hotel even has a private water taxi landing and marina. Travelers could also consider the five-pearl Baglioni Hotel Luna, which features similar amenities and rates and more traditional, antique decor -- though some might find it stuffy.

The two-pearl Rio Venezia Hotel is a small, stylish property with a stellar location in central Venice. Its positioning is both prestigious and convenient, as San Marco Square and a well-connected water taxi dock are both a block away. Polished, contemporary, and muted-palette interiors extend to the 17 rooms, which are well-equipped with flat-screen TVs, desks, and kettles, but some can be noisy and small. A compact lounge serves all-day free tea and coffee, but limited features here don't include breakfast. Steep stairs throughout can prove tricky for some, however, its attractive design and location still make it a solid pick. Compare with Hotel Scandinavia, which is more old-fashioned, but offers free breakfast.

The Luna Hotel Baglioni is a luxury chain hotel with 104 rooms located less than a two-minute walk from the shops, restaurants, and architecture of Saint Mark’s Square.

Prices are a lower at the Bauer Hotel, but it’s farther from Saint Mark’s and less luxurious.

The 25-room Arlecchino Hotel is a small, mid-range hotel overlooking a picturesque Venice canal. The best aspect of the Arlecchino is its location, within steps of the central train and bus stations, as well as the cruise ship port (though this location doesn't have main sightseeing attractions on the doorstep). The atmosphere is simple and authentically Venetian, while remaining low-key. There is a free buffet breakfast served in a bright, cheery breakfast room with tables covered in white linens. Pleasant rooms (and bathrooms) are tiny but bright and clean with flat-screen TVs. Guests looking for the full Venice experience may want to stay closer to the city center; the Ca' San Polo, for example, often has similar rates. Wi-Fi throughout is free.

The Ca' Angeli is a classic three-pearl hotel option with just six rooms situated right on the Grand Canal. It provides a convenient -- and beautiful -- base for seeing the sights of Venice, and it's close to numerous restaurants and bars. It was previously a residential apartment, and still feels much like someone's home. Rooms are traditional and ornate, but come with flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and air-conditioning. Some have nice canal views, and one has a lovely private terrace. A free breakfast buffet is served daily in an elegant breakfast room overlooking the canal. Wi-Fi is free throughout the property. With just six rooms, this place tends to fill up quickly. A nearby alternative is the Ca' San Polo, which has a common rooftop terrace.
