Leone Hotel
Located in the heart of Cannaregio, one of Venice's most charming and authentic districts, Leone Hotel combines design with hospitality. Offering a view over a tranquil canal but close enough to major transportation nodes, the hotel gives tourists the serenity of an oasis at hand but within walking distance of the Venice Santa Lucia Train Station and the bustling Grand Canal.
With cozy interior rooms, sophisticated service, and individualizing amenities, Leone Hotel is ideal for first-time explorers and experienced travelers who want an upscale and convenient Venetian experience.
A Conveniently Situated Retreat in Cannaregio
At Sestiere Cannaregio, 1250, Leone Hotel benefits from a priceless position between calm resident Venice and the hustle of its active waterways. Those arriving by train bring it just minutes from Stazione di Venezia Santa Lucia, and those who fly in can easily make it accessible by vaporetto or water taxi.
It's situated conveniently close to the city's most famous landmarks. The Rialto Bridge, St. Mark's Square, and the Jewish Ghetto are within walking distance or a short drive. But despite its convenience to these attractions, the area retains an air of normal Venetian life, with tiny restaurants, artisan shops, and peaceful canals.
Right on its doorstep, visitors get to see the city rhythm without the pressure of time—a compromise that best describes a Leone Hotel experience.
Warm and Modern Rooms
The hotel rooms are compact and intimate, delivering the blend of up-to-date amenity and unobtrusive Venetian flair. The rooms are tastefully designed with subtle elegance and contain soundproofing, air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, desks, and free Wi-Fi for customers who wish to be connected.
Furniture is set out in pale, muted tones and warm illumination, a friendly environment that is comforting but also refreshing after a day's sightseeing. There is some canal view, some peaceful courtyards characteristic of the Cannaregio neighborhood.
Bathrooms are modern, well-equipped with such amenities as rainfall showers, towel warmers, and simple toiletries. Cleanliness and attention to detail contribute to the sense of comfort guests experience at all times.
Authentic Venetian Atmosphere
As small as it is, Leone Hotel captures the essence of Venice in both location and dedication. It is located in a picturesque canal, and in wake-up instances, travelers can wake up to reflections of gondolas passing by and hear church bells from afar. The surrounding area of the hotel is still largely residential, thus travelers can get a glimpse of the daily life of Venetian natives.
Nearby, the Ponte delle Guglie Bridge and Fondamenta Cannaregio offer pleasant walks lined with restaurants and cafes where locals gather for cicchetti—Venetian small plates—beneath a glass of spritz or Prosecco. Such blending of comfort and culture makes Leone Hotel not just a spot to rest and revitalize, but part of the city's fabric of life.
Accessibility and Transport Connections
One of the most notable aspects of Leone Hotel is that it is convenient. The hotel is within reach of public transport hubs, and for this fact, it is the best choice for visitors who want convenience. Convenient vaporetto stops nearby go directly to major attractions such as St. Mark's Basilica, Doge's Palace, and Murano Island.
The Piazzale Roma airport shuttle terminals are also within easy reach, with direct lines for Venice Marco Polo Airport. In the event of train arrivals, the short walk from Santa Lucia Station precludes the hassle of lengthy transfers or bridges with cumbersome luggage.
The hotel is strategically positioned but still has a relaxed and serene atmosphere since it is away from the city's most traveled tourist routes.
Personalised Hospitality
Service at Leone Hotel is a testament to the warmth and professionalism of Venetian hospitality. Multilingual, friendly staff are delighted to provide directions, restaurant reservations, and transportation booking for guests.
Their inside knowledge helps guests discover the best of Venice beyond the obvious sights—from secret churches to off-the-beaten-path canal-side trattorias. The front desk also provides luggage storage, ticket reservations, and valuable advice on how to navigate the city's maze of alleys and bridges.

To the art enthusiast, Ca' d'Oro Palace and Scuola Grande di San Rocco boast Renaissance art in painting and architecture within a walking distance from Cannaregio. After a day of touring, returning to Leone Hotel is like returning home to comfort and tranquility.
