"Room overlooked the street so obviously a bit noisy with window open, the drawback of having a good location"

Historic Venetian Setting
Hotel Il Mercante Di Venezia is housed in an 18th-century building on Calle della Misericordia, a quiet alley off Lista di Spagna. The hotel takes its name from Shakespeare's 'The Merchant of Venice' and features Venetian décor with Murano glass chandeliers, brocade upholstery, and tiled floors. It is a 3-minute walk from Santa Lucia train station and Piazzale Roma bus terminal.
Rooms with Venetian Charm
Rooms are furnished in 18th-century Venetian style, with Murano glass chandeliers, damask-covered walls, and lacquered furniture. Each room includes air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, free Wi-Fi, a minibar, and a private bathroom with a hairdryer. Options range from single rooms with French beds to family rooms with four single beds. Some rooms overlook Otello's Garden, a private courtyard.
Breakfast in Otello's Garden
Guests can have breakfast or enjoy a glass of wine in Otello's Garden, a secluded courtyard. The hotel does not have an onsite restaurant, but Lista di Spagna, the main street, offers cafés, patisseries, and restaurants within 50 meters.
Explore Venice Easily
The hotel is steps from the Ferrovia waterbus stop, with direct routes to Rialto (20 minutes) and San Marco. Nearby landmarks include the Jewish Ghetto (500 meters), Ca' d'Oro (15-minute walk), and the Grand Canal (3-minute walk). Waterbus line N°12 connects to Murano and Burano islands.
Transport and Parking
From Marco Polo Airport, take the ATVO shuttle bus to Piazzale Roma (25 minutes). The hotel is a 10-minute walk from Piazzale Roma's parking area. Cruise passengers can take waterbus N°2 from San Basilio to Ferrovia or use the People Mover monorail to Piazzale Roma (3 minutes).
“Il Mercante Di Venezia has a prime advantage, a quiet location a short walk from the Santa Lucia train station, which is welcome in a city of bridges and cobblestones. I especially appreciate the hotel's nods to its 18th-century roots. The garden offers a tranquil respite, and the friendly, attentive service seems to anticipate every need.”
