4-star historic palace in San Marco, Venice, with direct water taxi access

Location & Water Access

Duodo Palace sits in the San Marco district, a 5-minute walk from St. Mark's Square and next to Teatro La Fenice. The hotel has a private water gate that allows direct water taxi access to and from the property. Guests can take a water taxi from the airport or train station straight to the hotel door, bypassing the bridges and narrow streets.

Deluxe rooms offer canal views or views over Venetian rooftops, and some include private balconies. Bathrooms feature marble finishes, and all rooms have air conditioning and satellite TV.

Dining & Bar

The on-site restaurant serves a daily continental breakfast and local cocktails in the evening. The lounge bar offers traditional Venetian aperitifs such as spritz and prosecco. Guests can also order breakfast in the room or choose from a snack bar and wine/champagne list.

Services & Excursions

The concierge desk arranges exclusive private excursions and guided tours of Venice's historic sites through hotel partnerships. Staff can book tickets for local events and festivals, and provide information on walking tours and gondola rides. Babysitting services are available for families, and luggage storage is offered for late departures.

Accessibility & Family Comforts

mixed experience, some disappointments

cold room thin sheets
the staff were polite. the location was reasonably central.
The room was quite cold even after i reported it. they said they checked the heater, but i am not sure. the bed sheets felt thin given how chilly the room was. the shower also lacked a curtain. It was difficult to shower without getting water everywhere.

great location excellent restaurants small room noticeable heat
the location is close to everything, SO CONVENIENT! it's close to many excellent restaurants and high end shopping. they were very accommodating, putting us in the same beautiful room we stayed in the first time (i was so excited about this!).
i'll start by saying that the staff that welcomed us were wonderful! the room was small, not unexpected in a historic building, but the heat was quite noticeable was good. we were informed that city law did not allow them to utilize air conditioning, so if we are warm, open the window.

The location was good. but the suite i got wasn't quite the experience i expected. the breakfast was average at best. There was very little choice. they also didn't offer complimentary water, a minor detail that still felt a bit cheap.
