Hotel Tre Archi

Hotel Tre Archi is a three-star hotel set in an 18th-century Venetian palazzo overlooking the Cannaregio Canal, right next to the bridge with three arches that gives it its name. It lies in the Cannaregio district, the most authentic and residential part of Venice, full of bacari, restaurants and shops used by locals, about 850 metres on foot from Santa Lucia railway station and close to the Jewish Ghetto.

The building was restored by local craftsmen who combined traditional Venetian style with modern comforts. On arrival, a hall with a decorated 18th-century ceiling and a Murano glass chandelier houses the reception and a small bar. A rare treat in the historic centre is the private garden, green and shaded, which is home to the breakfast room and where the buffet breakfast is served in the warmer months.

Rooms feature damask fabrics and lacquered Venetian-style furniture, with air conditioning, TV, telephone, minibar, safe and a private bathroom with hairdryer. Some look onto the canal, others onto the garden, and there are triple, quadruple and family rooms too. The Tre Archi restaurant and pizzeria is next door. Pets are welcome on request, and a supplement may apply to be agreed with the hotel.
