From 2 to 12 September 2026, the Venice Lido hosts the 83rd International Film Festival — the world’s oldest film festival and one of the most anticipated cultural events of the year. Ten days of world premieres, red carpets and Golden Lions that turn Venice into the capital of cinema.
To experience the festival from an authentic perspective — away from the crowds, immersed in the true soul of the lagoon city — Hotel Indigo Venice Sant’Elena is the perfect choice. Our 4-star boutique hotel, housed in a former 1930s monastery in the quiet neighbourhood of Sant’Elena, is located less than 15 minutes by vaporetto from the Palazzo del Cinema.
Planning a trip during Film Festival week requires booking ahead — but plans can change. With our Flexible Saver rate, you can secure your stay at the best available price, knowing you have until 7 days before arrival to cancel free of charge.
No compromise between savings and freedom: the Flexible Saver gives you both. Book now while rooms are still available — during festival week, they sell out months in advance.
