Hotel Metropole Venice

Hotel Metropole Venice sits on the Riva degli Schiavoni, a five-minute walk from St. Mark's Square and the Doge's Palace. It is a fifteen-minute walk from the Rialto Bridge.

The location is the primary draw for those who want to be near the historical center without staying inside the immediate perimeter of the square. While the nearby alleys often trap the heaviest surges of pedestrian traffic, the hotel benefits from the open stretch of the waterfront. It feels more connected to the pulse of the lagoon than the tucked-away boutiques of the city’s interior. Choose this spot if your priority is proximity to major landmarks paired with a broader view of the passing boats, rather than the claustrophobic quiet of the narrow side streets.
