Hotel Santa Chiara overlooks the Gran Canal and Piazzale Roma (the only part of Venice reachable by car). It is in front of the train station and really near to the cruise terminal and few minutes by car from the Marco Polo airport. It is the only hotel in Venice with private parking (on request only)!!! The hotel location is unique and It is the easiest one to reach ( so you don't need to drag your luggage trough the alleys looking for the hotel). It is few minutes walk from San Marco square ( or few minutes by water bus, which stops almost in front of the hotel). The breakfast room, the bar and the Hall overlook the Grand Canal.
