    Despite the current name, Hotel American (Dinesen) is all Venice

    I thought it was quiet, comfortable, a little expensive but worth the lire.

    It sits in the Dorsoduro off the Grand Canal on the quiet Canal San Vio. Here's a live webcam of Canal San Vio from the Hotel.

    Book in advance prior to high season, it is often full with few if any good rooms available.

    The view and location are outstanding, and the staff is very helpful.

    Hotel American-Dinesen sits in my favorite part of Venice, in the quieter Dorsoduro section, south across the Grand Canal from the more boisterous San Marco side.

    I recommend paying the extra for a room on the second floor with a canal-view balcony (room 201).

    I thought it was worth the money at the time, (~$200 /night in Oct 2001), the rooms are bigger & better, & the canal view makes it worth it.

    Price Update: High Season for the double room I had with the view (Room 201) is now 300 Euros / $450 per night (with a "no-view" single going for 180 Euros / $270).
    In low season (beginning end of October, the same room 201 with the view is 140 Euros / night). Venice is expensive, and the Euro vs. dollar exchange is no help.

    I had a compact (OK small) but comfortable single at the top of the hotel. Possibly the only single, and certainly the doubles I saw into were on a more generous scale. Some have balconies overlooking the canal , at a substantial premium of course. You can enjoy a bit of balcony experince without paying as a corridor opens onto one. The hotel is a pretty classy joint throughout.

    I paid 80E a night including generous breakfast buffet in August 2003 - this was the lowest possible price as it was the off season for Venice. Doubles work out much less per person, and for Venice these are reasonable prices.

    I booked through venere.com - you can see reviews from past guests there, ranging from very good to superlative.

    Originally built in the 18th century by a rich Venetian merchant (the normal kind of Venetian merchant, I presume). Remodelled as a pensione in 1925.

  • Directions: Great location about three minutes from Accademia (and bridge and vaporetto) by picturesque canal, and fairly easy to find. Also only about 5 mins walk from Zattere, where the Alilaguna from the airport stops. The rich can take a water taxi to the door.

    Free internet access. Hotel was in a quiet part of Venice, away from the tourist area. There was a fresh seafood market nearby. Breakfast was good.

    It is rates in summer is 130 Euro per night for double .

    I am not really sure if this is the average price or above average.

    Located on the canal, Rio di San Vio, southeast of the Accademia Museum.

    The room price is about average for Venice, but be aware that average in Vencie would be outrageously expensive anywhere else.

  • Directions: A water taxi from Marco Polo Airport to the hotel's approdo privato costs about 70 euros. Closest vaporetto stops are the Accademia in the Grand Canal and the Zattere in the Giudecca Canal.
