Is it worth staying in a 4 star hotels in Venice?

You can also expect to spend your stay in old Venetian palaces but with modern interiors. There’s really a vast choice of hotel options, it’s just a matter of finding your own style!
- Many of these 4 star hotels have unique features, like a jacuzzi in the room, canal view balconies, rooftop terraces with restaurants and bars where you’re able to try exquisite local cuisine without leaving the building.
- If a 5 star hotel would make your stay in Venice one you’ll never forget, I realize they’re also very expensive and most people might not be able to afford it. In Venice, you can find 4 star hotels with many of the facilities offered by 5 star hotels but paying a lot less!
