Best with free parking in Venice

Ranked hotels whose own website states that self parking is free, in the order of the list above.

Which hotels can be ranked

74 hotels were considered and 14 can be ranked. The other 60 are not ranked yet: our profile of each is not yet a Detailed or Full profile (a Journeyed Score of 65 or more) and no recognized award is on record for it. That describes how much we have verified so far, never the hotel itself.

Every hotel in range is on the page for Venice.

What "best" means here

"Best" on this page means first by one published formula, not by anyone's opinion: recognized awards count 30 points, hotel class 30, verified facts (parking, parking fee, check-in time and more) 15, reader votes 10 and distance to Venice 15, out of 100.

Only hotels with a Detailed or Full profile (a Journeyed Score of 65 or more) or a recognized award can be ranked, and no hotel can pay for a place on this list.

Formula best-1.1.

  • Recognized awards, 30 points: the highest level a hotel holds on the awarding body's own current list. MICHELIN Guide: Three MICHELIN Keys 100%, Two MICHELIN Keys 90%, One MICHELIN Key 80%. Forbes Travel Guide: Five-Star 100%, Four-Star 85%, Recommended 70%. AAA: Five Diamond 100%, Four Diamond 75%.
  • Hotel class, 30 points: luxury 100%, upper upscale 80%, upscale 60%, upper midscale 40%, midscale 20%, economy 0%, from the published chain scale of the hotel's brand, or from the awarding body's own definition of a level the hotel holds. A hotel with no class on record gets 0 here.
  • Verified facts, 15 points: the share of these facts on record with a source: parking, parking fee, check-in time, checkout time, pet policy, pool, fitness room and Wi-Fi.
  • Reader votes, 10 points: the share of reader Yes or No votes that confirm what the hotel states about its details, starting from a neutral 5 votes at 50%. A hotel with no votes yet gets half.
  • Distance, 15 points: full points at 0 miles and none at 2 miles from Venice, in a straight line.
  • Ties go to the higher Journeyed Score, then the shorter distance.

This list uses no guest reviews and no review-site ratings. Reader opinion enters only as Yes or No votes on specific details of a hotel, cast on its page. No votes have been counted for the hotels considered here yet, so every hotel carries the same neutral value for that part of the formula.

Read the full method

Why trust this ranking

  • No reviews, by design. This ranking is built only from things you can check: facts each hotel states on its own website (each linked and dated), recognized awards read from the awarding body's own list, the hotel class of its brand, distances computed from open map data, and reader Yes or No votes on specific details once enough people have voted.
  • On record for Los Angeles: 13,199 sourced facts on 2,610 hotels, 471 hotel websites read and 84 recognized awards on 60 hotels from Forbes Travel Guide and AAA. Reader voting is open on every hotel page.
  • One published formula for every hotel. No hotel can pay to change a score or a rank, and a fact loses credit when it is not re-checked within 180 days.
