The three-star
Hotel Canal & Walter
is on the Grand Canal, within an easy walk (albeit with two small bridges) of
the Piazzale Roma. It's convenient to airport buses, taxis, the Marittima cruise
terminals, and Venice's main Santa Lucia railroad station.
How to reach the Hotel Canal & Walter from the
Piazzale Roma:
Walk to the tree-lined side of the Piazzale Roma where a
red-and-white crosswalk from the central bus area feeds into a sidewalk
through the trees.
Go through the trees, past the vendor stands, to a low stone
bridge.
Cross the bridge. On the other side of the canal, turn left
and walk along the fondamenta or sidewalk by the park.
When you reach the corner, continue around to the right.
Beyond the park, you'll reach a second small bridge. Cross
it.
The Hotel Canal & Walter is just after the bridge, facing
the Grand Canal.
