Venice hotel overlooking the Grand Canal

General Information

What to expect: This hotel is at the foot of the Scalzi Bridge, spanning the Grand Canal. A huge, pale-blue chandelier of Murano glass is suspended over the lobby, which has a gleaming marble floor of green and cream. Freshly cut flowers are artfully arranged. The hotel’s aristocratic past, choice location in the Cannaregio district, and proximity to the train station make it popular with sophisticated travelers from Europe and the United States.

Amenity highlights: Created from two 17th-century homes, the hotel features a rooftop terrace with views of the Grand Canal, Scalzi Bridge, and the copper dome of the S. Croce Church. The breakfast room has sliding-glass panels that open to a garden, where guests can enjoy their meal in summer.

Insider tip: The hotel is less than a 10-minute walk from the Ghetto, the Jewish quarter established in the 16th century. A maze of narrow streets with five historic synagogues and a museum, the Ghetto is a quiet place for strolling, contemplation, and escaping the crowds.

Property Amenities

This hotel is in a particularly historic area, with a vaporetto (water bus) stop just outside.

The Boscolo Hotel Bellini has a rooftop terrace with wrought-iron garden furniture and views of the Grand Canal and beyond. The hotel’s breakfast room opens to a garden. The Bar Canaletto, with exposed beams, marble floor, and Murano chandelier, serves drinks and snacks from late morning until late night.
