Participants are kindly requested to make their own accommodation bookings.   We regret that INTBAU cannot make reservations on behalf of the participants at The Venice Charter Revisited conference.

This page is divided into four sections:

1.   A link to the official Venice Tourist Office website, which has a wealth of accommodation options from basic to deluxe; and
2.   A list of hotels offering a special rate to those attending events associated with the Venice Biennale; and
3.   Web links that we found useful; and
4.   Areas near Venice that may have cheaper options.

1.   The Venice Tourist Office website

The official website of the Venice Tourist Office has a lot of options and can be searched by various criteria.

The cheapest accommodation option we've found is to rent a small apartment, particularly if you are prepared to share with others who are attending the conference.   There are dozens of apartments on the Venice Tourist Office website.

When searching for accommodation, note that the venue, Teatro Piccolo Arsenale, is in the Castello district and that the San Marco district is the next closest location.   The cheapest accommodation is, as usual, near the railway station in Cannareggio Ovest.   There are bargains too in Dorsoduro, Santa Croce and San Polo, south of the Grand Canal.   For hotels in these locations you should plan on taking the Vaporetto (water bus) to the Arsenale stop for the venue, or leave plenty of time to walk.

2.   Hotels offering a special rate for those attending the Biennale.

3.   Web links we found useful

Simply putting the words "Venice" and "hotel" into search engines brings up countless possibilities. Here are a few we found in a hurry:

  • www.Venere.com is a good site that allows you to start the search of 282 possible "accommodations" by location.   Please remember that the areas nearest to the venue are San Marco, Castello Ovest and Castello Est.

  • Cheaper options are found further away from San Marco: www.venere.com

  • VeniceHotel.org claims to be run by Venice hoteliers themselves: www.venicehotel.org

  • This site also has a good last minute site. We found some very good deals available at the last minute earlier this year: www.venicehotel.org

  • Booking.com is a fairly standard hotel booking site with 150 hotels in Venice, mostly mid-range and above, rated by users: www.booking.co

  • HotelinVenice.com, part of a chain of Italian hotel websites: www.hotelinvenice.com

  • TripAdvisor allows users to rate hotels and check availability. Some in Venice sound terrible: www.tripadvisor.com

  • Beware of imitations! Here is Venezia.Net - one of dozens purporting to be "the" site for Venice: www.venezia.net

  • In fact, Comune.Venezia.it is the real site of the Comune di Venezia - the Venice City Council: www.comune.venezia.it

  • And here is its very useful booking service: www.veneziasi.it (Italian) & www.veneziasi.it (English)

    4.   Nearby areas that may have less expensive options

    If you are having difficulty finding something affordable on the islands of Venice, try looking further away.   Venezia-Mestre is a busy working town, 8 minutes away by train on the mainland.   Lido di Venezia, is a summer resort, on the sandbar separating the lagoon from the sea, and should be affordable in November.   The fine cities of Padova and Treviso to the west and north are about 33 minutes by train from Venezia Santa Lucia railway station.   All these may provide more affordable hotel options.

    We will constantly update this page.   Should you wish to add other hotels which offer good rates please contact us.
