The centre of all the action
San Marco is one of the smallest neighbourhoods – or sestieri – of Venice, but it’s jam-packed with famous icons and landmarks. What comes to mind when you think of Venice? The Doge’s Palace. St. Mark’s Square. The Basilica and the Campanile…. You’ll find them all right here in San Marco.
This really is the beating heart of Venice city, and the highlight of its historic centre. During the day, it’s filled with travellers who come to cross the Bridge of Sighs and float along the Grand Canal in a traditional gondola. By night, as the crowds thin out, a different side of the city shines through.
San Marco after dark is a world apart from its hectic daytime energy, with an old-world charm edging its way in. Street lights reflect off the still waters of the canals, and soft music drifts from the chilled-out wine bars. San Marco captures everything great about Venice; its excitement, and its grace.
If you’re searching for a city centre hotel, San Marco, Venice, is the best place to start looking. Slap bang in the middle of all the action, you’ll be just moments from Venice’s best-loved attractions. Yet as the sun sets, you’ll experience a more authentic central Venice that many never get to see.
