Driving Directions:
Getting there. From the airport, visitors can go by water or by land across the lagoon to Venice. By water, the fastest and most expensive way is by water taxi. Less expensive and slower is a boat that stops at other islands in the lagoon and ends up docking adjacent to St Marks Square 900 metres from the hotel. By land, there are taxis and buses which run from the airport to Piazzale Roma, the historic centres land transportation terminus near the Venice St. Lucia train station. From Piazzale Roma (and from the train station on the opposite side of Grand Canal), public water buses (vaporetti) go to various stops around the city along the Grand Canal, other major waterways, and the lagoon across the street from the hotel. More expensive water taxis go from Piazzale Roma and the train station directly to a dock 150 metres from the hotel.
Directions to hotel: The Grand Canal water bus stop nearest the hotel is S. Marco, 200 metres away. After getting off the water bus, walk along the arcade bordering St Marks Square to approximately the middle on the northern side. Look for Ristorante Quadri under the arcade. To the left of the restaurant, follow the street named Sotoportego dei Dai across a little bridge and turn right along a narrow canal. The hotel is 20 metres ahead on the left.
