Hi, looking for hotel recommendation in Venice.
I think our criteria would be the following; easy to get to from airport, location in town and to make sure it has air-conditioning for my mom....lol.
price range moderate to higher end.
Thanks for sharing!

Bauer Hotel - very close to San Marco with a side canal
Ca' Segredo - Grand Canal
both are expensive.
Foscari Palace is right on the Grand Canal with a vaporetto stop nearby. Air-conditioned rooms and a nice roof terrace.
I am not sure what your $/€ price range is but I found Hotel Campiello very easy to get to from the airport with no bridges to cross to get there. The dock for the Alilaguna airport boat is right near the entry to the street where the hotel is located which is easy to see on Googlemaps street view. It does have AC.
Hotel ala is extremely convenient and affordable. Hotelala.it is their web site. Right at the giglio vaporetto stop and in between the Accadememia bridge and San Marco. Amazing breakfast will get you through the day!
Pam, We are staying at Hotel Campiello..Thanks to you and others who gave it thumbs up. Did I read that correct from your post? At the airport there is a dock to the boat? Do we take this one boat to our stop near the Hotel? Oh that sounds so easy..Almost too easy.
Another question we arrive 9:30AM on a Saturday I am sure it will be noon or later before we arrive at hotel. Do you think we would feel like taking a boat tour at 3:30 ? I thought sitting on boat might be better than a walking tour..I been hunting tours and running into the problem that the next day is Sunday and can't find tours on Sunday. Monday we need to leave for Padua to join our tour Village Italy at 5:00.. So I figure we need to be at hotel in Pauda maybe by 3:00 Last year we the did GAS tour and jet lag didn't really bother us.

Yes, the Alilaguna dock is at the airport. Go out the front doors of the airport and turn left following the herd to the docks. Buy your ticket and then take the Blue line to the San Zaccaria stop for the Hotel Campiello. It takes about 1hour 15 minutes so you might not be up for another boat tour that afternoon. From the San Zaccaria dock walk straight forward toward the restaurants, then veer slightly left in to the small street. Do not cross a bridge. Easy peasy. (Even for my not-comfortable-in-a-city brother!)
Hotel Le Isole. Wonderful hotel in the San Marco area. AC worked great while we were there.
Since I saw your price range is from 200-400 (on another thread you posted) and you want a place with air-conditioning and an elevator for your mom (you'll be glad of both yourself!), I recommend the luxurious and central Hotel Moresco www.hotelmorescovenice.com/en/ It will meet all of your needs and is a pleasure to stay in. They have an elevator and air conditioning plus so much more. Our family loves it.
Domina Home ca Zusto. Don't stay near San Marco, its in the "suburbs" of Cannaregio, you'll get a much more unique, enjoyable experience. You can still walk to San Marco or wherever you want. I just returned from Italy, except for the Alilaguna from the airport to San Stae, we never got on a water taxi, we walked everywhere, and that made all the difference.
