Venetian Style Rooms

Hotel American-Dinesen offers 30 rooms with Venetian furniture, LCD satellite TVs, free Wi-Fi, minibars, and air conditioning. Choose from Classic rooms facing quiet lanes, Superior rooms with balconies overlooking San Vio Canal, or independent Dependence units 5 meters from the main building that accommodate 2-4 guests.

Breakfast and Bar

A daily breakfast buffet includes croissants, cakes, yogurt, fruit, bread, cheese, and cold meats. The cocktail bar serves wines, spirits, liqueurs, and light snacks like nuts, crisps, and pizzette. A first-floor terrace with shaded seating provides space for drinks with rooftop views.

Canal-Side Relaxation

The hotel features an internal courtyard with outdoor sofas and tables for drinks. The private dock on San Vio Canal accommodates water taxis and gondolas. The peaceful location away from main tourist crowds provides a quiet retreat.

Dorsoduro Art District

Located in Venice's Dorsoduro district, the hotel is 250 meters from both the Academy of Fine Arts and Peggy Guggenheim Collection. It's a short walk to the Grand Canal, St Mark's Square, Rialto Bridge, Ca' Rezzonico, Palazzo Grassi, and Punta Della Dogana. Venezia Santa Lucia station is 2 km away, and Marco Polo Airport is 15 km away.

Family-Run Service

Owned by the Sutera family for generations, the staff provides restaurant recommendations, museum advice, and assistance with luggage from the private dock. The hotel can host meetings in its Venetian patio setting.

“Hotel American-Dinesen, owned for generations by the Sutera family, presents a unique Venetian experience in the Dorsoduro district, removed from the main tourist flow. I admire the location near the Accademia bridge, and the seamless water taxi access from the hotel's private dock. The canal-facing rooms with balconies promise serene evenings, while the family-friendly atmosphere makes it ideal for a relaxing vacation.”

a fair stay, some downsides

helpful staff excellent soundproofing convenient lift broken air conditioner hot room simple breakfast
The staff were very helpful! on day one, i asked about fat-free milk for cappuccino, and it was available for me . thank you. the soundproofing is excellent. I had quiet nights. the hotel has a lift. It made moving luggage easy.
The air conditioner in my room was not working, and the room felt hot! i contacted reception to resolve this issue, but they only provided a fan. sleeping was difficult and uncomfortable. the breakfast was simple. I expected more variety.
