The
Hotel Bel Sito & Berlino (or, more simply, the Hotel Bel Sito) shares a
pleasant campo with several other hotels, including the four-star
Palazzo del Giglio and one of Venice's top
luxury hotels, the historic Gritti Palace. It's
easy to reach on foot from two Alilaguna airport-boat stops.
The 34-room hotel is decorated in traditional Venetian
style and has free Wi-Fi in the lobby. Pets are welcome, with no extra fees.
How to reach the Hotel Bel Sito & Berlino from the Santa
Maria del Giglio airport-boat pier (Alilaguna Linea Arancio):
Leave the Alilaguna boat and walk
straight ahead, down the Calle Gritti, until the street widens into a small
square.
Turn left into the street that faces you. The Hotel Bel Sito
& Berlino's entrance will be across the street, opposite the church.
