Location & what to see

Hotel Riviera Venezia Lido stands on Gran Viale Santa Maria Elisabetta, one of the main thoroughfares of the island of Lido di Venezia, right opposite the primary water bus terminal. This location directly faces the St. Mark’s Basin, offering panoramic views across the lagoon and allowing guests to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of the island, away from the crowds of the historic centre while remaining well-connected to all major Venetian attractions.

Water transport links situated just a few metres from the entrance make getting around extremely straightforward: St. Mark’s Square and the Doge’s Palace can be reached in roughly 10 minutes by boat, while Venice Santa Lucia Railway Station is 4.5 km away and Venice Marco Polo Airport is around 8 km away. Staying on the Lido also offers the advantage of accommodation rates that are often lower than those in the central island district, without sacrificing quick access to the Rialto Bridge (3.5 km) and the Peggy Guggenheim Collection (3.3 km).

During the warmer months, the island transforms into an ideal destination for combining cultural sightseeing with seaside relaxation: the equipped beach at Lido Lungomare d’Annunzio is located just 650 metres from the hotel, easily reached on foot. From late August to early September, the area becomes the international hub of the Venice International Film Festival, while year-round guests can enjoy walks through local gardens, cycling trips along the coast, or visits to the nearby Biennale Gardens (1.6 km).

Lido Lungomare d'Annunzio Beach — Equipped beach on the Lido, ideal for days at the seaside and relaxation. 650 m

Biennale Gardens — Historic park serving as the venue for international contemporary art exhibitions. 1,6 km

Doge's Palace — Masterpiece of Venetian Gothic architecture overlooking the St. Mark's Basin. 2,9 km
