Canal Grande in brief

Our review

Updated on August 7, 2026

Canal Grande is an absolutely perfect address in Venice for a romantic getaway. The hotel is located on the banks of the Grand Canal in an elegant palazzo. You're just a 5-minute walk from Santa Lucia Station and Piazzele Roma. Let yourself be enveloped by the magical atmosphere of 18th-century Venice.

 

Reservation

We recommend booking your stay at Canal Grande via Booking.com, which often offers free cancellation. Send us a message on Instagram if you go, it would make us super happy.

 

Reviews

Couples love the hotel and particularly appreciate its perfect location near the train station, its intimate size, and the dedication of its multilingual staff. The staff welcomes you in five languages: Italian, English, German, Spanish, and French.

 

The arrival

There are two entrances: the main entrance to reach the hotel by land on foot or the entrance to the Grand Canal to arrive by water cab or gondola, the typical boat of the city.

Once inside, you'll discover the lobby with its pink marble fireplace, the breakfast room with its golden mirrors and the beautiful bar with its red Venetian velvet chairs. The small terrace overlooking the Grand Canal allows you to relax after a day of exploring Venice.

What we particularly like here: the warmth of the staff and especially Ramon and Tommaso at the reception, the welcome in several languages, the possibility to leave your luggage after check-out, the laundry service and the possibility to organize a transfer to the airport.

 

Venetian blinds

There are 15 rooms inspired by key figures in 18th-century Venetian art and culture, including Doge, Casanova, Vivaldi, and Goldoni. Each room features a painting that recalls the person or place that inspired the room.

Some of our favorite rooms:

1 • Classic Room • Photo • Photo
2 • Prestige Room with Grand Canal View • Photo • Photo
3 • Suite with Grand Canal View • Photo • Photo
4 • Prestige Junior Suite with Grand Canal View • Photo • Photo

Depending on the room you choose, you will enjoy the following amenities: traditional Venetian décor, safe, king-size bed, private marble bathroom with shower or bathtub, air conditioning, Rezzonico-style parquet flooring, Murano glass, and mirror with gilded frame. Some rooms offer a magnificent view of the Grand Canal.

 

Breakfast

In the morning, a delicious, rich, and varied breakfast is served in the dining room. If the weather is nice, you can enjoy it on the small pontoon overlooking the Grand Canal... The gondolas pass right by you! The staff is attentive and checks back several times to see if you want anything else.

 

Location

Canal Grande is located in Campo San Simenon, a typical campiello of the city. You are away from the crowds, in the ancient district of Santa Croce. The Santa Lucia train station is only a 5 minute walk away! The hotel is also located near the church of San Simeon Grande, founded in 967, where you can admire Jacopo Tintoretto's Last Supper, the famous painting depicting Christ's last meal.
