HOTEL MESSNER, Venice

The hotel is situated on a canal in the charming and tranquil Dorsoduro district. The Salute vaporetto stop (Line 1) is a two-minute walk, while the Zattere stop (Line 6) is roughly five minutes away. This makes travel from Piazzale Roma or the train station straightforward (about 10-15 minutes by water bus). The Alilaguna water bus from Marco Polo Airport also serves the Salute stop. Many of Venice's top attractions, including Piazza San Marco and the Accademia Gallery, are within a 10-15 minute walk. Multiple restaurants and a minimarket are located immediately nearby.

Room types range from singles to family rooms and apartments, all featuring private bathrooms (some are located just outside the room but are for exclusive use), air conditioning, soundproofing, flat-screen TVs, and free toiletries. Rooms may have canal, garden, or city views; no rooms have balconies. Beds are generally comfortable. Some rooms are compact, and a few have external bathrooms located across the hall. The hotel complex includes an annex; these rooms are smaller and less maintained. Choosing a room in the main building is recommended for a more reliable standard.

The Messner Restaurant is open daily from 07:30 to 23:30, serving Italian cuisine for lunch and dinner (dietary options: vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free). Hotel guests receive a 30% discount on their dinner bill. Breakfast is a buffet with continental, Italian, vegetarian, and gluten-free options, available from 08:00 to 10:00 for €12 per person. Additional dining options include a bar, snack bar, and coffee house on site.

While the hotel does not have a swimming pool or spa, guests can enjoy the outdoor garden terrace and sun terrace. For activities, the hotel offers paid walking tours and can arrange access to temporary art galleries (free, off-site). The prime Dorsoduro location places guests steps from the Peggy Guggenheim Collection and within a short walk of Venice's main cultural attractions.

Free Wi-Fi is available in all areas. The 24-hour reception offers luggage storage, lockers, and a tour desk. Daily housekeeping is included. The hotel provides a paid airport shuttle (private water taxi or Alilaguna water bus) and can arrange airport pick-up and drop-off. Business facilities (meeting rooms, business centre, fax/photocopying) are available for an additional charge. The property is wheelchair accessible with no lift; staff assist with luggage.
