Hotel Il Mercante Di Venezia - An 18th-century Venetian building with Murano glass chandeliers and a private garden
Located in Cannaregio's Lista di Spagna, this 3-star Venice hotel occupies an 18th-century building in the quiet Calle della Misericordia alley. Hotel Il Mercante Di Venezia features rooms decorated with Murano glass chandeliers, damask-covered walls, and period-style lacquered furniture. Each room includes air conditioning, a private bathroom, LCD TV, minibar, and WiFi access. The property maintains Otello's Garden, a private backyard where guests can have breakfast or drinks. Il Mercante di Venezia stands 328.1 ft from public transport connections and 164.0 ft from shops, restaurants, and bars. The Santa Lucia train station and Piazzale Roma transport hub are within a 10-minute walk, while the Grand Canal, Jewish Ghetto, and Casino of Venice are accessible on foot.
Pros
Direct access to Otello's Garden, a rare private outdoor space in Venice
Located in a quiet side alley away from the main tourist flow
Original 18th-century architectural elements including tiled floors
Walking distance to the Natural History Museum (0.5 miles)
Cons
1 mile from St. Mark's Square and major attractions
No on-site restaurant
“Il Mercante di Venezia wins for location; it's steps from the train, and the building itself has 18th-century bones that give it real character. While it's not directly in the tourist crush, its Cannaregio address has an appealing local feel; plus, I appreciate that they maintain a quiet atmosphere for guests. It's a solid choice for travelers who value convenience and a touch of authentic Venice.”
