Cameo Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 Spent my honeymoon here: Hotel Concordia Very nice and clean. Just round the corner from St Marks Square. If you're trying to impress get a private taxi boat from the airport. It's an absolutely magical journey across the lagoon to the square. We arrived just as the sun was setting.

Mollox Posted October 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 They both look nice....just very...traditional. Are there any modern hotels in Venice or am I missing the point? Heard about the taxi boats - do you have to book them in advance? Know if there are any details online? Also, going in December - is a taxi boat a stupid idea? Ta p.s. Daz any ideas on rates for the hotel you mentioned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 I think you are missing the point Molly. Not sure you'll find any modern hotels, certainly not in the city centre. Here's some more to look at Venice Hotels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollox Posted October 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 I thought that might have been the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameo Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 Sorry don't know of any others. A contemporary hotel might be missing the point. I'm sure once you've booked a hotel they can sort out the taxi. If you don't want to do that there are definately taxis at the airport in the summer (been the in August and September) but I'm not sure about December.

Very traditional, but I think that's the point. Didn't come across any contemporary hotels as such, but they might exist We didn't pre-book the water taxi, just went to the booking desk at the airport on arrival. This was in May, and we had no problem getting one, so would have thought you'd be fine in December, though would imagine it'd be pretty chilly so sit inside, or wrap up warm!

Tony260Z Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 Been to Lido Di Jesolo a couple of times which is nice enough (our hotel OK but a bit basic) and has a great beach. Venice itself is lovely, but lacking in contemporary (and affordable!) hotels I think. Beware going there in mid-summer - it can get a bit whiffy on a hot day. Not sure about water taxi's but water-buses easy hop-on/hop-off and Gondola's fun but expensive. Oh, and whatever you do, buy a good map! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony260Z Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 Mollox, in fact, I think I was there when I spoke to you for the first time to ask something about the BM-LM trip! (That was the day that my Father-in-Law decided he could navigate from the quayside at St. Marks Square over to the whatever-it's-called-but-very-famous bridge without a map, and managed to get us all completely lost) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesB Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 Shame I missed this thread when it was first posted. Next time, think about the Cipriani - the Palladio suite is a steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony260Z Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Yeah, up late again. Only time I don't get disturbed! Enjoy Venice Mollox m8, it's a great place. Why this time of year though? Oh, and if you go there in Summer, make sure to visit Lake Garda. Visit a town called Sirmione - it's gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
