LOCANDA AL LEON, Venice

Locanda Al Leon occupies a restored 15th-century building with original period architecture and traditional Venetian furnishings throughout common areas and rooms. The strictly non-smoking property retains historical charm with Murano light fittings and authentic material walls. The limited number of guest rooms provides privacy in a historic setting just off Campo Santi Filippo e Giacomo.

All rooms are en suite with air conditioning, minibar, and satellite TV, and some are located in a modern annex building 20 meters away. Triple rooms are available for larger groups or families, with connecting-room layouts in some configurations. The rooms feature traditional Venetian decor including vintage glass light fittings and comfortable beds.

The hotel sits 100 meters from St Mark's Square and within a 5-minute walk of the Doge's Palace and the Rialto Bridge. The San Zaccaria vaporetto stop is a 4-minute walk, providing direct water bus connections from the airport. Despite being in a bustling tourist area, the hotel is set on a quiet narrow street that reduces noise after 9 PM.

Personalized breakfast service delivers a continental breakfast to guest rooms between 08:00 and 10:00 daily, with hot drinks made on request. The staff provide porter service for carrying luggage up and down stairs at check-in and check-out, along with free luggage storage until departure. Direct booking offers personalized itinerary assistance and late check-in arrangements by phone.

Triple rooms accommodate families with two connecting rooms, and the staff offer local recommendations for nearby restaurants and bakeries within 20 meters. The hotel provides a safe box, daily housekeeping, and allergy-free room options for families. The central location allows easy access to gondola stations and water taxis for excursions to Burano.
