We selected Hotel American Dinesen because it is a Fodor's choice hotel in the 2009 guidebook. The hotel has a few apartments next door to the main building. We stayed at one of the apartments for a few days. We had a wonderful experience. We found the apartment very comfortable and we felt like local Venetians or expats living in... more

If you love the Dorsoduro/Accademia side of Venice, or want to be somewhere out of the path of tourists streaming back and forth from the Rialto to Piazza S. Marco, this is IT. Immaculate, perfect little hotel tucked away on a side canal halfway between the Guggenheim and the Accademia museum. Sweet rooms, large bathrooms by Italian standards, very nice... more

We spent two nights at Hotel American Dinesen. The hotel is very easy to find from the Accademia bridge and vaporetto stop. Our quad room was small but comfortable with bathroom with shower/bath. The neighborhood (Dorsoduro) was quiet with excellent shopping and restaurants, especially next door. Breakfast was good and included. It was nice to leave the congestion of San... more

This well located comfortable hotel was a great place to stay. We booked a room with balcony facing the canal and were not disappointed. The staff at the front desk was most helpful getting us internet access at the public computer as well as recommending a close by restaurant with delicious food for dinner. We enjoyed the more than adequate... more

Upon arrival, we were greeted with a friendly "Buena Sera" by Elizabetha at the front desk. Beppi helped us with our luggage and we proceeded to room 210. We recommend this room as... more

We stayed in the American Dinesen hotel on the recommendation of family members who had stayed there twice before. The hotel is in a lovely location very close to the Academia Bridge. The staff were wonderful and friendly - nothing was too much trouble for them. The room we had, 104, was extremely comfortable. Large bed, sky tv, and wonderful... more

My husband and I spent 2 weeks at the American Dinesen. The hotel is located close the Accademia Gallery, the bridge and vaporetto stop, and the Peggy Guggenhein Collection. Despite the name, it is very Venitian, with a delightful staff who are multilingual. The hotel is well kept, very clean and quiet. Our room was tastefully decorated, not overdone, and... more
