Hotel Canal & Walter - A Gothic Palace Venice Hotel Near Santa Lucia Station

Located in Santa Croce's laid-back neighborhood, this 3-star hotel occupies a 15th-century Gothic palace two minutes from Santa Lucia Train Station. The 17 rooms feature satellite TVs, minibars, safes, and individually controlled air conditioning, with many offering views of the Grand Canal or Canal Dei Tolentini. Hotel Canal & Walter serves a continental breakfast buffet with eggs, cold cuts, cheeses, and pastries in their indoor dining room or summer garden. A 24-hour front desk provides tourist assistance, while a lobby computer and small bar cater to guest needs. The property sits 2 minutes from Piazzale Roma's transportation hub and 25 minutes from St. Mark's Square via walking or vaporetto. The surrounding area features tourist-oriented shops, restaurants, and bars, with easy access to the Grand Canal and Papadopoli Gardens.

Pros

Historic Gothic palace with 18th-century Venetian furnishings and Murano glass decor

Private garden available for summer breakfast service

Located between two canals with scenic water views from many rooms

Walking distance to major transportation hubs including airport buses and water taxis

Cons

No elevator in the historic building

25-minute journey required to reach St. Mark's Square area

“This property stands out for its enviable position directly on the Grand Canal and proximity to major transport hubs like the Santa Lucia train station, simplifying arrival and exploration. I appreciate that guests can enjoy a continental breakfast in the garden, a tranquil start to a busy day of sightseeing. While the decor leans toward a classic Venetian style, the location and practical amenities, including air conditioning, are what make it a smart choice.”
