A room at the Hotel Galleria, Venezia
A Grand Canal-view room at the Hotel Galleria, Venezia
The view of the Grand Canal from a room at the Hotel Galleria, Venezia The Hotel Galleria has one huge plus going for it: You can fling open your window and look right out onto the Grand Canal and still pay only around $200 for the privilege. (I know: seems like a lot—but not in Venice—and in winter that price for a Grand Canal view can be as low as €95, or $125).

That's what you get—along with antique Venetian styling and breakfast served in your room—at Luciano Benedetti and Stefano Franceschini's 17th-century palazzo at the foot of the Accademia bridge, across a square from the Galleria Accademia. Seriously: cross the Accademia bridge, turn to your left, and it's right there in front of you, the door just to the right of the cafe with all the outdoor tables.

Of the six rooms with a view, the best are intimate no. 8 with a raised sitting nook set into the curved canal-vista window, no. 10 with its frescoed ceiling, and cheaper (but smaller and bathless) no. 5 on the corner. Other rooms with partial views overlook the bridge past a noisy canalside café (annoying to anyone hoping to sleep before the bar closes). Viewless 2 and 4 are also nice, with stuccoed decorations on the ceiling.
