Venice Film Festival 2026: stay close to the red carpet without giving up relaxation

From 2 to 12 September 2026, Venice Lido will host the 83rd Venice International Film Festival of the Venice Biennale, one of the most prestigious film events in the world.

During the festival, the Lido becomes a unique destination where cinema, glamour, and Venetian atmosphere come together through red carpets, international premieres, and stars from across the globe.

For guests attending the event as visitors, journalists, industry professionals, or simply passionate film lovers, staying close to the festival venues is essential.

The Convenience of Staying on the Lido

Hotel Rivamare offers the perfect location to experience the Venice Film Festival without giving up peace and comfort.

Located on Venice Lido, it allows guests to easily reach the Palazzo del Cinema and the festival’s main venues on foot within just a few minutes, avoiding the longer journeys from the historic centre of Venice.

After a day of screenings, events, and Biennale appointments, guests can relax away from the crowds, just steps from the sea.

Between Cinema and the Beach

One of the most appreciated aspects of the Venice Film Festival on the Lido is the unique contrast between international glamour and a seaside atmosphere.

The morning can begin with a walk along the waterfront, continue with press conferences and premieres, and end with a dinner overlooking the sea or an aperitif after the red carpet.

Hotel Rivamare allows guests to experience all of this in a simple and relaxed way, with a welcoming atmosphere perfect even for longer stays during the festival.

A Smart Choice for the Festival

During the Venice Film Festival, finding a well-positioned hotel becomes essential.

Many international guests look for accommodation that allows them to experience the festival up close while enjoying more tranquillity than the busier hotels in the heart of the red carpet area.

For this reason, the Lido has always been the ideal choice for those seeking comfort, the sea, and easy access to the Venice Biennale events.
