Moreover, there are plently of hotels at higher price that you can find and book by using the standard hotel websites. We strongly suggest to book an hotel not too far from the Arsenale, otherwise you will spent 30-45 minutes to reach the venue of the workshop (both on foot or by waterbus “vaporetto”).
