Map & location
Venice Mainland, Venice, Italy
Antony Hotel is in Mestre on the Venice mainland, about 9km from the city. You’re in a calm residential area rather than the busy tourist centre, so evenings feel quieter and more authentic – wander to local cafés or pizzerias, then head into Venice itself by day or night.
Mestre’s pedestrianised Piazza Ferretto, the striking M9 Museum and the historic Chiesa di San Lorenzo are all within a short taxi or bus ride, giving you plenty to explore before you even cross the lagoon. When you’re ready for the highlights – the Grand Canal, Rialto Bridge and St Mark’s Square – simply hop on the bus or tram and you’ll be in Venice in around 15–20 minutes.
- Approx. transfer time from airport 15–20 minutes from Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE) by taxi or pre‑booked transfer, depending on traffic.
Facilities
Pool & outdoors
Antony Hotel doesn’t have a swimming pool, and Venice itself has no beach in the central districts. For a seaside fix, you can take a seasonal vaporetto from Venice to the Lido, where a long sandy beach awaits (local charges apply). Most guests, however, spend their days exploring canals, piazzas and museums rather than sunbathing.
Spa, sports & wellness
This is a city‑style hotel focused on comfort and convenience rather than resort‑style leisure, so on‑site sports and spa facilities are limited. Instead, you’ll find:
• Indoor children’s play area (great for keeping little ones occupied between sightseeing sessions)
• Comfortable lobby and lounge areas to relax with a coffee or drink
• Concierge desk to help with tours, tickets and restaurant reservations
• Shuttle bus service (local charge) which can be arranged via reception for selected routes
If you’re keen on running or walking, the flat streets around Mestre and towards the lagoon make for easy morning jogs before you board the bus into Venice.

Food & drink
Start the day with breakfast at La Laguna restaurant, where you’ll find a generous spread of continental and hot options before heading into Venice. In the evening, the same space transforms into a relaxed à la carte restaurant, serving a mix of Italian classics – think pasta, risotto and regional fish dishes – alongside international favourites to keep everyone happy.
A smart‑casual dress code applies in the evening (no beachwear; long trousers requested for gentlemen). The bar is open from late afternoon until around 23:00 for spritzes, Italian wines and after‑dinner drinks, making it an easy pre‑ or post‑city‑exploring stop. Board inclusions and opening times can vary by season; always check what’s included in your chosen board basis on arrival. What All Inclusive typically includes.
