Hotel Carnival Palace, Venice

Experience Venice's carnival atmosphere in the Hotel Carnival Palace, just a few blocks from the island's edge in the Cannaregio district. This more residential area allows you to explore a more local side of the city while enjoying access to Venice's sites and attractions. The 500-year-old Jewish Ghetto is a 10-minute walk away, where you'll find the Jewish Museum of Venice. Stroll to the Grand Canal and Piazzale Roma in about 15 minutes and reach Piazza San Marco in 30 minutes on foot or by water taxi. The train station is just over a 10-minute walk.

As indicated by its name, the style of these rooms is one of the Venice carnival. Deep red, black, and gold walls, Murano glass chandeliers, and plush velvet love seats capture the feeling of the city's most famous celebration. Economy and Classic Rooms can feel tight, so consider booking a Superior or above for more space. Triples and interconnecting options are available for families, while couples may enjoy the indulgent Red Suite with two terraces and an outdoor Jacuzzi. All rooms look out over the Cannaregio Canal, hotel garden, or the city and include marble bathrooms with rain showers or bathtubs.

The hotel offers different common areas to take in the culture and atmosphere of Venice. The black and gold bar, The Mask, is a chic and cozy lounge to have a drink. The inner garden is a lovely place to read a book or have a cup of coffee, while the waterfront terrace on the canal is a picturesque place to watch the sunset.
