Walking directions to Hotel Londra Palace (with map)

From: Venice Hotel Directions

The four-star Hotel Londra Palace boasts of its "100 windows overlooking St. Mark's Basin." If you're lucky or well-heeled enough to get one of those rooms, you'll enjoy spectacular views of local boat traffic, the island of San Giorgio Maggiore, and passing cruise ships.

Even if you spring for a cheaper city-view room, you'll have access to a waterfront promenade--the Riva degli Schiavoni--and many of Venice's top sights, which are within a few minutes of the hotel.

How to reach the Londra Palace from Alilaguna's San Zaccaria airport-boat stop:

1. As you leave the Alilaguna Linea Blu boat station, look at the buildings facing you.

2. The Hotel Londra Palace will be almost directly ahead, just to the right of the pier. (It's a large white building behind the Vittorio Emmanuele II monument on the Riva or waterfront promenade.)

From the San Basilio cruise terminal:

1. Leave the terminal by the main doors, walk to the wooden bridge, and cross the bridge.

2. Catch the No. 2 vaporetto toward San Zaccaria at the ACTV water bus stop, which is just beyond the bridge.

3. Get off at the San Zaccaria ACTV stop, turn left, and look for the Hotel Londra Palace (a large white building behind the Vittorio Emmanuele II monument).
