Ca' Pozzo Inn, Venice

Ca'Pozzo Inn is a contemporary art-themed hotel in the Cannaregio district, just next to the centuries-old Jewish Ghetto formed in 1516. Walk five minutes to the Jewish Museum of Venice to learn more about the history of this quiet quarter away from the crowds. Piazza San Marco is a 30-minute walk or 25-minute water taxi ride, and there's a water taxi stop just two minutes from the hotel, making it easy to access different parts of this floating city.

Rooms are simple and modern, each focusing on a different painting, and you can ask reception for details about the work and artist. Rooms can include local items of Murano Glass, Venetian-style floors, and exposed wooden beams. Economy and Standard Rooms can feel small, so go for a Double Comfort, Family Room, or Double Extra Comfort for more space. There are two Residences made up of connecting rooms with two bathrooms and a kitchenette. Common areas include cozy courtyards and a rooftop terrace, where you can take in the sun and have breakfast if the weather is good.
