My favourite hotel is the Rialto, right overlooking the Rialto Bridge. And just over the bridge is one of the local markets, where you can buy all your fresh fruit for breakfast. (The Rialto's the pink one in the photo.)
The second time I was in Venice we stayed at Hotel Rialto which was directly next to the Rialto Bridge. It was a little pricey but very nice and extremely easy to find. This is very important in Venice. Hotels near a landmark are more important than you might think!
We've stayed at this hotel during two different visits, both times getting an apartment type room to accomodate the family. You can't beat the location of this hotel, as it looks out over the Rialto Bridge and the Grand Canal. We had great rooms both times and got a good rate. The only downside, is the elevator does not go all the way up, so if you get a room near the top, you will be carrying luggage up the stairs.
