Aqua Palace - A Canal-View Boutique Hotel in Historic Castello with Classic Venetian Design

Located in the ancient Castello quarter, this 4-star Venice hotel occupies a historic palazzo overlooking Rio della Guerra canal. The Aqua Palace features wood beam ceilings, classic Venetian furnishings, and marble accents throughout its four floors. Each air-conditioned room includes a minibar, satellite TV, and private bathroom with bathrobes and complimentary toiletries. Select accommodations offer canal views and separate seating areas that accommodate up to 4 guests. A complimentary buffet breakfast is served daily in a nostalgic wallpapered dining room overlooking the canal. The 24-hour reception area showcases inlaid woodwork and antique leather sofas. The Aqua Palace sits 0.5 miles from both St. Mark's Square and the Bridge of Sighs, with the Rialto Bridge accessible via a 5-minute walk through the designer shopping district.

Pros

Direct vaporetto access to Murano's glass shops and Burano's lace makers from nearby Fondamenta Nuove

Located in one of Venice's most authentic neighborhoods near the Arsenale shipyards

Walking distance to six restaurants within 0.3 miles

Multilingual staff available 24/7

Cons

70-minute water shuttle ride from Marco Polo Airport

No on-site restaurant

“Aqua Palace stands out for its prime Castello location, steps from both San Marco and the Rialto, yet tucked away in a quiet corner. I appreciate the hotel's blend of traditional Venetian design with modern comforts and the option of arriving directly by water taxi is a definite plus. The attention to detail, like personalized welcome gifts, elevates the experience beyond the typical Venetian stay.”
