BEST WESTERN PREMIER SANT' ELENA

There’s a secluded and peaceful corner of Venice, far from the madding crowd, yet just “a few waves” from Piazza San Marco and the Doge's Palace that very few people know about. This is where the buzz of the calli dissolves seamlessly into the murmur of the lagoon and time is marked by gentle strolls among the trees of the Parco delle Rimembranze; here the Best Western Premier Hotel Sant'Elena offers a haven of peace just a short walk from the Giardini della Biennale. Our romantic boutique hotel owes its secluded ambiance to the former convent in which it is housed and of which it still retains much of the original structure: the high walls and the imposing façade conceal unexpected gems such as the impressive spiral staircase and the amazing garden furnished with comfortable chaise-lounges. Venice, with its historic center and beautiful architecture, can be reached with a pleasant stroll along Riva degli Schiavoni, or in just a few minutes by waterbus. Sant'Elena is connected to the other islands of the lagoon by frequent water buses and comfortable bridges, which allow you to enjoy a leisurely stroll to Piazza San Marco along Riva degli Schiavoni and through the majestic trees of the Parco delle Rimembranze.
