Hotel Antiche Figure occupies a 15th-century palace on the Grand Canal, directly across the water from Venice's Santa Lucia train station. Step off the train, cross the bridge, and you are home, with the canal right at the door.

Booked for my clients: step off the train and you are home, with the canal at the door.

Where you’ll be

The hotel sits in the Santa Croce area, at the start of the Grand Canal. Vaporetto stops are steps away, so Rialto and San Marco are an easy ride, and quieter neighborhoods such as Cannaregio are close for an evening walk.

The stay

Rooms are classically Venetian, with fabrics, gilded mirrors and Murano glass, and some look out over the Grand Canal. It is a warm, family-feeling hotel with attentive staff and a breakfast with a view of the boats going by.
