The Best Venice Hotels with Pool – Swim in the Floating City

Venice is a magical place to visit. The buildings are exquisite and the canals add an extra layer of ambience to make it one of our favourite places in Italy.

Accommodation in Venice can be hard to come by and is famously expensive. But you will find some wonderful hotels and it is possible to find some bargains. It gets busy there though so it is definitely worth booking ahead to make sure that you are staying somewhere nice and not paying an over the odds last-minute price. 

This is especially the case if you are looking for a Venice hotel with pool. In the narrow, ancient winding streets of Venice, there simply aren’t that many places that have space for a swimming pool. But having one can make such a difference to your trip by giving you a space to cool off and unwind after a busy day sightseeing. 

To find Venice hotels with a pool you may have to look beyond the confines of the ancient centre to hotels that are on private islands in the lagoon, on Venice Lido or on the mainland in Mestre. 

In this guide to the best pool hotels in Venice we have found all the best hotels in all locations and for all budgets. We hope that this helps you to quickly find the perfect place to stay in Venice.

The centrepiece of this Venetian masterpiece is the rooftop pool which is just amazing and goes alongside the largest spa in Venice which includes a sauna, a hot tub and a Turkish bath. We think that it is one of the best swimming pools in Venice.

Hotel Excelsior Venice

Hotel Excelsior Venice is a 5 star hotel set right on the beach on Venice Lido. The location a lovely and peaceful and the swimming pool here is really big and heated to a nice temperature. We think that a stay on Venice Lido offers a nice escape from the hurly-burly of Venice and you can add a bit of beach time to your stay. 

Hotel Excelsior makes staying on The Lido an easy choice since they offer a free boat service across the lagoon to the heart of the old town. We love any opportunity to see Venice from the water and a daily trip across the lagoon might well be a highlight of your time in Venice. 

The recently renovated hotel is very grand and boasts a distinctive Moorish style complete with chandeliers, rich fabrics and tapestries. The best rooms have a great view across the water to Venice whilst the others look into a nice Moorish courtyard with a gurgling fountain in the centre.  

Hotel Excelsior has its own private sandy beach that guests have access to in the summer months.

Ca’ Del Moro

If you are looking for a more affordable option, Ca’ Del Moro could fit the bill. It is on Venice Lido, so across the water from the famous waterways of the ancient trading city.

It is a modern hotel with lots of sports facilities and a great location near to the beach. Rooms are functional rather than elegant but they are large, comfortable, clean and great value. The hotel provides a brilliant breakfast that will set you up well for a day exploring Venice. 

But, it is the swimming pool that you are most interested in and you will not be disappointed by the one at Ca’ Del Moro which is both big and beautiful.

The location on Venice Lido does mean that you are away from the main attractions, but there is a bus every 10 minutes to take you to the water bus station where boats depart for Venice every 12 minutes. It doesn’t take too long and being on the water taking in the sights as you approach the city is one of the best activities in Venice.

Hilton Garden Inn Venice Mestre

Staying in Venice Mestre is a good way to get cheaper accommodation. Admittedly the location isn’t as spectacular as some on this list but your money goes a little bit further. It is also a good option if you are travelling around Italy by car. 

The Hilton Garden Inn Venice Mestre is set about halfway Between Marco Polo Airport and the historic centre of Venice.

The Hilton is a 4-star hotel that offers private parking as well as a lovely outdoor pool with outside café. Despite not being right in the centre it is a good location right opposite the large San Giuliano Park which has running paths and views across the Venice lagoon. 

It is easy enough to get into the centre by taking the bus that leaves from right outside the hotel. They come and go very frequently and the journey is only 10 minutes.

The Garden Grille & Bar Restaurant serves classic Italian and international cuisine for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
