Albergo Cappello is sixth, the top old-town hotel on our scoring. Breakfast is in the rate, Ristorante Cappello is in the building, and Visit Ravenna lists it as a pick-up point for the terminal transfer, about 8.3 road miles away by our routing.
The building is the point. The hotel calls itself a historic residence, Palazzo Bracci, a short walk from Piazza del Popolo.
The pick-up is the operator's arrangement, not the hotel's. Book Visit Ravenna's shared transfer, from €20 (about US$20) a person, and tell them you're at the Cappello.
Parking is off site at €15 (about US$17) a night, per its Expedia listing. Rooms are yours from 2 pm until 10:30 on departure, which is earlier than Expedia's 11.
Book it if
- You want a historic building in the old town
- Dinner in the hotel matters
- You'll book Visit Ravenna's transfer
Look elsewhere if
- You need to check out after 10:30.
- You want parking on site.
- You want the shortest morning.

Which terminal
Porto Corsini, north bankShips board at the Porto Corsini terminal on the north bank of the Canale Candiano, about 8.3 road miles from Albergo Cappello by our routing. A new terminal was due for 2026 and is running late, so expect the temporary check-in tent unless your documents say otherwise. More in the Ravenna cruise guide.
