Three hotels for all prices in San Marco, Venice

San Marco

For many people who have one or two days in Venice, a hotel location close to or in the San Marco district is a plus. It means you don’t have far to walk to any of the major sights Venice has to offer.  However, you will normally have to pay more to be in this area, but perhaps not as much as you think – especially with the budget offerings.

The other consideration is that the San Marco area of Venice gets very busy with tourists. So, if you want something a little more relaxed, something outside this area will be beneficial.

Below are three Venice hotels at the luxury hotel, mid-range hotel and budget hotel price points that have good ratings in the San Marco area.

1. Luxury

Gritti Palace
