Tips to Staying in the Right Place with the Right Crowd
For when you are ready to mellow out and enjoy the real Venice

When planning a trip to Venice, some of the popular hotels you might research are Danieli, Cipriani or the Westin Europa e Regina. Yet on our last trip, we wanted to stay in a neighborhood that was less touristy.

Nestled between the vaporetto stops of Salute and San Marco is a charming little hotel called DD 724. This small boutique is only fifty steps from the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, and minutes away from the Accademia Gallery and several delightful restaurants.

Apart from the modern design and attentive staff, we found that staying on the south bank of the Canal Grande in the Dorsoduro neighborhood made us feel like we lived there. Each day as we walked along the canals of the neighborhood, we would run into locals sipping an espresso, walking their dogs, or repairing their boats. It was a refreshing experience to be away from the heavily populated tourist streets. Better still, when we did want to cross over to the north bank, we had two vaperettos with routes in opposite directions. This made it easy when we wanted to visit the Francois Pinault’s Palazzo Grassi Museum and the Basilica di San Marco.

The hotel in Venice, Italy has recently acquired an Annex with suites that are a bit larger than the rooms in the main building. Take a look at DD724’s and DD694's special offers for this season.
