Where to stay in Venice with direct access to a water taxi?

Venice is a city unlike any other, where getting around means crossing bridges, alleyways, and above all, canals. For those seeking maximum convenience, finding a hotel with direct access to a water taxi can truly make a difference. The Hotel Kette, located in the heart of the San Marco district, offers exactly that: a secondary entrance on the canal allows guests to board and disembark directly from a private water taxi, avoiding long walks with luggage or in the rain.

Why choose a hotel with direct water taxi access?

First-time visitors to Venice often underestimate how tiring it can be to walk with luggage, especially when staying far from a landing point. A hotel with direct canal access allows for a smooth arrival and departure—whether coming from Marco Polo Airport, Santa Lucia train station, or the cruise terminal.

In the case of Hotel Kette, the concierge can pre-book a private water taxi and inform the driver of the canal-side entrance. Upon arrival, guests are welcomed right at the dock and accompanied to the lobby, without the need to cross bridges or walk long distances.

A central but peaceful location

Beyond the transportation convenience, Hotel Kette offers an unbeatable location for exploring Venice. It’s just steps from St. Mark’s Square, Teatro La Fenice, the Rialto Bridge, and the city’s most elegant boutiques. Despite its centrality, the hotel sits on a quiet side street, far from the noise and bustle.

This balance between practicality and tranquility is one of the reasons why Hotel Kette is highly appreciated by international travelers, families with children, couples seeking romance, and even business travelers.

Services designed for discerning guests

The direct water taxi access is just one of many advantages. Hotel Kette also offers:

The staff is always available to assist with restaurant reservations, event tickets, and guided tours to the islands.
