Avani Rio Novo Venice Hotel

The Avani Rio Novo Venice Hotel, formerly known as NH Venezia Rio Novo, is a modern hotel in the heart of the Dorsoduro district - an area renowned for showcasing the 'real Venice' and bustling with restaurants, shops, artisan boutiques as well as important sites like Ca' Foscari University and the Peggy Guggenheim Collection. It's easy to get from here to the rest of the city on foot (the lively Campo Santa Margherita is around the corner) or by vaporetto.
