Location

The Hotel Dolomiti is conveniently located near Santa Lucia Railway Station in Venice and not too far from Piazzale Roma (parking and bus terminal). Visitors who arrive by ferry will find the main lagoon ferry landing stages close to the hotel. The location is perfect because the water taxis are close by, which makes getting around easier.

The hotel is situated in the historic city centre of Venice in a quiet Calle in the Cannaregio district. Located in the far north of the city, Cannaregio is one of the six historic sestieri (districts) of Venice and it is the second largest neighbourhood. It is also the most populated part of the city with around 20,000 inhabitants.

While visiting us, why not have a wander around this prestigious zone, which represents the gateway to Venice. Here you’ll find the world's oldest Jewish Ghetto. Under the Venetian Republic, Jewish people were forced to live in this area of Venice. In fact, the word “ghetto” is derived from the old Venetian dialect. Other must-see attractions include Ca' d'Oro (Palazzo Santa Sofia) - one of the oldest and most beautiful palazzos; the little known Palazzo Labia - an eighteenth century baroque palace; the wonderful churches of Santa Maria dei Miracoli, and Sant'Alvise; and the Isola di San Michele Cemetery (The Island of the Dead) - where Igor Stravinsky, Joseph Brodsky, Sergei Diaghilev, Ezra Pound and Luigi Nonon are buried. You’ll be spoilt for choice when looking for souvenirs and gifts because in the surrounding area of the hotel there are many craft shops and shopping lanes.
