Heineken Jammin' Festival Hotels :: The Golden Tulip Tritone
Come June 20-22 there won't be any singing under the Bridge of Sighs in Venice, 'cuz everyone will be rockin' out in nearby Mestre at Italy's Heineken Jammin' Festival. Since its inception in 1998, each summer 100,000 fans from all over the world have flocked to the country's premier rock fest, listening to a roster of such notable bands as Bon Jovi, Metallica, Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Cure.
This year the rock fest takes place across the Venice causeway in Mestre's Park San Guiliano overlooking the Venice lagoon. Sure, you won't get serenaded on a gondola, but you'll enjoy three performance stages,a Green Village, Sports Village, DJ Zone and camping area.
Iggy & the Stooges, the Sex Pistols, Linkin Park and Chris Cornell will be responsible for getting the fans warmed up the first day, with the important closing slots will be filled by The Police, Alanis Morissette, Counting Crows and Baustelle, among others. The list keeps expanding.
As we've mentioned previously, hotels in Venice cost a pretty penny. And while it would've been nice to find some offering special packages for the event, no such luck. So we checked for cheaper hotels in Mestre near the concert venue and one stood out with terrific reviews, The Golden Tulip Tritone.
Born of the 60s generation, this 65-room hotel has been completely renovated and restyled. Situated in front of the Venezia-Mestre railway station, just 10 minutes away from the historical centre of Venice, the hotel offers a choice of single/double/triple rooms and mini suites, all comfortably furnished and equipped with modern conveniences like free high-speed internet connection, minibar, and safe. Guests also enjoy full-service bar, room service and Express Check-In/Check-Out.
In June, a twin room that sleeps two runs USD $204 per night, including daily American continental breakfast buffet, VAT and service charges. If you grab breakfast elsewhere, the room's just $187. At least with rates like this, springing for a T-shirt isn't out of the question.
