Sleep closer to the locals at the Molino Stucky Hilton (rooms from $290), located on the blue-collar island of Giudecca. Interiors may be slightly chain-y, but the hotel’s recent $330 million renovation gave birth to Venice’s first rooftop infinity pool with stellar canal views, plus a brand-new spa—the city’s largest.
Leave behind the dark, dowdy Venetian aesthetic by booking a room at the Hotel Palazzo Barbarigo Sul Canal Grande (from $152), located in off-the-path San Polo. Hidden at the end of a quiet alley, with its own private landing dock, the hotel’s sixteenth-century exteriors are expectedly worn, but the room interiors—including four suites with views of the Grand Canal—are luminously modern.
