As strange as it might sound for a hotel where you can easily spend €500 a night for a double room, there might not be better value for location in Venice than the Westin. With rooms overlooking the Grand Canal, the addition of its own personal pier for a water taxi arrival embellishes the romance of this hotel. Bar Tiepolo inside is a little on the expensive side, but when sipping in such grandiose surroundings it’s easy to see why. Late at night the terrace bar comes alive. Great beds too.
