Located in a quiet street of San Marco district, this 3-star Venice hotel sits 984.3 ft from Saint Mark's Square and 164.0 ft from La Fenice Theatre. The Hotel Ateneo occupies a former merchant family residence overlooking a canal where gondolas pass beneath its windows. All rooms feature Murano glass chandeliers, Venetian décor, air conditioning, satellite TV, minibars, and soundproof windows. Private bathrooms come equipped with showers, hairdryers, and complimentary toiletries. The breakfast room serves a morning spread of pastries, croissants, cereals, yogurt, fruit juices, cheeses, cold cuts, omelets, and bacon. Ateneo provides a 24-hour reception, baggage storage, business center, and multilingual staff. The property offers its own jetty for water transport access to Lido, Murano, Burano, and Torcello islands. The surrounding area houses numerous shops and restaurants along the historic Mercerie shopping street.

Pros

Direct canal views with passing gondolas

Located between Saint Mark's Square and La Fenice Theatre

Original architectural features and Venetian design elements

Private jetty for water transportation

Cons

No on-site restaurant

Limited common areas

“In my opinion, this is a charming three-star hotel, where antique Venetian decor creates an authentic atmosphere. I appreciate its location, tucked away from the busiest areas yet still a short walk from Saint Mark's Square. I especially value the attentiveness of the staff and the thoughtful touches, like arranging water taxis, to ensure a smooth stay.”
