Located in the quieter Santa Croce district at Campo S.
Giacomo dell'Orio, this 4.7-rated property lets guests sleep where they celebrate, cutting travel time between events to mere minutes.
You'll avoid the Piazza San Marco crowds while maintaining authentic Venetian authenticity.
A true gem. A little off the main tourist paths but still a perfect and central location for your stay in Venice. The neighbourhood offers a bit of authentic feel and there are a lot of cafés, bars and restaurants in the vicinity. Across the lovely square there's a little supermarket and the vaporetto-station San Stae is nearby as well. The hotel is lovely, a lot of nice art everywhere. It's well kept, newly furnished and clean, beds comfy, staff is super nice. Absolutely worth the price - highly recommended. I will definitely come back (for a longer stay).

Asked along the way.
Can we get married outside on the campo?+
The campo itself is a public space, but Hotel Aquarius can arrange ceremonies on its terrace or in the palazzo's halls overlooking the square. Legal civil ceremonies must occur in Venice's Municipio; the hotel coordinates this process.
How many guests can the hotel accommodate?+
The property holds up to 150 reception guests. On-site accommodations include 25 rooms, with partner hotels nearby for additional overflow guests.
What's included in wedding packages?+
Contact the hotel directly at http://www.hotelaquariusvenice.com/ for customized packages. Typical services include venue rental, catering, room blocks, and wedding coordination.
Do guests need a boat to reach the hotel?+
Venice is car-free, but the hotel is accessible on foot from Piazzale Roma (15-minute walk) or by vaporetto water bus. Hotel staff assist with water taxi and boat transfers.
What's the best season for a wedding here?+
April–May and September–October offer stable weather and fewer crowds than summer. November–March can be rainy; verify flood risk (acqua alta) with the hotel during booking.
