Where to Stay in Lido Venice – Best Hotels

If you’re looking for beach hotels in Venice or a quieter alternative to the historic center, the Lido is the perfect choice.

The Lido of Venice is the city’s elegant seaside escape — long sandy beaches, fresh sea air, Liberty-style villas, and direct vaporetto connections to San Marco.
Staying on the Lido means enjoying space, calm, and nature, while reaching the historic center in just 10–20 minutes.
It’s Venice — with more room.

The Lido feels almost Mediterranean — wide beaches, pine trees, and sunlight reflecting off the Adriatic.

Below you’ll find the best hotels on the Lido, from legendary beachfront icon to refined boutique stays.

Hotel Venezia 2000

A relaxed beachfront hotel on the Lido — ideal if you want sea views and a quieter atmosphere away from the historic center.
