UNAHOTELS Ala Venezia – Adults Only (16+)

UNAHOTELS Ala Venezia accepts guests from 16 and fills an early 18th-century building on a quiet square with about 80 rooms. It opened in 1980 and was renovated in 2019.

A boat stop at the door

The vaporetto stops right outside, so the airport and the islands are an easy ride. The hotel can also arrange a private water taxi. Guests point out that no bridges stand between the boat and the door, which helps with a suitcase.

An evening programme

The lobby has a fireplace, and the American-style bar and terrace host a happy hour. Temporary art exhibitions, walking tours and live music change the programme. Breakfast comes as a buffet, and a snack bar and deli stay open for lighter bites. The restaurant also prepares halal meals.

Rooms and sights

Rooms are classic singles and doubles, economy rooms, and superior and deluxe doubles. Many overlook a canal or the square, and typical Venetian decorations fill them. Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo is 180 m away, Piazza San Marco 230 m and the Doge's Palace 320 m. Trains arrive at Santa Lucia, 1.8 km from the door, and Marco Polo Airport is 9.7 km from the hotel.
