Hotel Antiche Figure, Venice

5.0 (7 reviews) · Standard
Historic 15th-century palazzo with original building elements, canal views, and warm hospitality

Overview

Hotel Antiche Figure offers a true Venetian experience in a historic building overlooking the Grand Canal just opposite the train station. The facade of this 15th-century palazzo was transformed in the 18th century with Renaissance frescoes of ancient figures, which give the hotel its name. The city's largest church, Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari, is a 10-minute walk away, while the historic Jewish Ghetto and Museum is 15 minutes away. San Marco Square is 30 minutes away on foot, or you can hop onto a gondola just outside the hotel and be there in 25 minutes. 

Rooms follow a traditional style, incorporating Murano glass and mirrors, patterned damasks or curtains, and vintage furniture to capture a sense of the Venetian atmosphere. Standard and Superior Doubles can feel a little small, so consider a Deluxe or above for more space. The Junior Suite and some Superior Double options can sleep up to three, or you can book a Residence Suite in the building next door for larger parties. Canal-view rooms are highlights, as others may face the building next door. Bathrooms are marble with bathtubs and European-style hand-held showerheads. 

The hotel's common areas equally evoke a sense of place, particularly in the reception area with its patterned marble floors and ornately decorated wooden ceiling beams. Enjoy a breakfast buffet in the indoor dining area, or grab a seat at a table outside to watch the gondola drivers prepare for the day.

The entire staff at Hotel Antiche Figure was incredible. They were extremely friendly, helpful and courteous. Everywhere we went, people know the hotel and the staff, and everyone spoke very highly of them. They are well respected - and for good reason!

The staff here was so nice, and the room was adorable. When I checked in, the woman at the desk gave me a map and provided detailed directions on how to reach certain landmarks (which was great, as Google Maps and Venice don't always get along). She then escorted me to my room and helped me with my bag. The room itself was large, comfortable, and quiet, and breakfast was good.

The location was convenient -- right across from the train station -- but be warned that there's a large bridge with no ramp you'll need to cross to get there. There's a spot for a private water taxi pickup to the airport right next door, which was also super convenient and easy to find.

They actually upgraded us to a junior suite at the sister hotel which was a 5 minute walk from this place. Both looked great but we stayed at the Canal Grande and loved it and the staff. Read more

Authenticity & Character
I loved the Venetian mirrors and light fixtures in the breakfast room.
Location
It is directly across from the train station and one of the water transportation stops. Walkable to just about everything.
Staff
Could not have been any more helpful and friendly. The owners really seem to enjoy all of their guests!
Cleanliness & Comfort
Room had everything we needed but the view was lacking (we faced the side of the building next door). Also, not a fan of the two single beds pushed together. Also, not a fan of the handheld shower wand.

This was our favorite hotel by far!! ❤️🇮🇹 It was quaint and sweet and comfortable. The owners went out of their way to make us feel completely at home. They had an enormous breakfast spread and little tables out front where we could watch the gondola drivers prepare for the day. I highly recommend Hotel Antiche Figure in Venice!! Read more
