Hotel San Fantin - A historic family-run Venice hotel next to La Fenice Theatre
Located in San Marco district, this 2-star Venice hotel features two 19th-century cannons decorating its facade and a small lodge designed by Giorgio Casarini in 1869 to commemorate the Venetian resistance of 1849. Hotel San Fantin sits just meters from the historic La Fenice Theatre and a 5-minute walk from St. Mark's Square. The rooms overlook either an internal courtyard or a canal, equipped with fans, telephones, and private bathrooms with showers and hairdryers. Some rooms include TVs and free WiFi access. An Italian breakfast is served in the dining room, and the property offers luggage storage. The San Fantin stands 1 mile from Santa Lucia Train Station, with water shuttle service available at the Vallaresso stop. Surrounding attractions include the Rialto Bridge, Peggy Guggenheim Collection, and Calle Larga XXIII Marzo's designer shopping, all within 0.5 miles.
