Hotel Ai Due Principi - A restored patrician palazzo with canal views in historic Castello district

Located 328.1 ft from Saint Mark's Square, this elegant Venice hotel occupies a restored aristocratic palazzo overlooking a typical Venetian canal. The 4-star property features 15 guestrooms equipped with minibars, flat-screen TVs, and refined furnishings, some offering hydromassage showers and canal views. A delicious breakfast buffet is served daily from 7:30 AM to 10:00 AM in the dining room. Hotel Ai Due Principi provides a 12-seat meeting room, complimentary Wi-Fi throughout, and concierge services. The multilingual staff at Ai Due Principi delivers 24-hour front desk assistance. Positioned in the ancient Castello quarter, the property stands near the churches of San Zaccaria and San Giorgio dei Greci. Water taxis and vaporetto stops at San Zaccaria connect guests to the Lido, Murano, and other lagoon islands.

Pros

Original 700s well preserved in the indoor patio

Premium Bisazza mosaic decorations in bathrooms

Walking distance to Venetian Arsenal and Libraria Aqua Alta

Multiple dining options within 984.3 ft

Cons

8 miles distance from Venice Airport

Some rooms face the internal courtyard rather than the canal

“Hotel Ai Due Principi occupies a skillfully renovated aristocratic palace, placing guests within easy reach of St Mark's Square. The boutique setting extends to the rooms, where Venetian decor meets modern amenities, including hydro-massage showers; I found the personalized concierge especially appealing, streamlining arrangements for tours and local transport.”
