About these Venice hotel pages:
We've included customized Google maps that you can zoom, rotate, or drag for better views.
If you see a conflict between our directions and a hotel's, rely on ours. (Hotel sites are often years out of date.) Ditto for maps: Our icons are hand-placed for accuracy, while GPS-based labels can be off by a street or more.
Finally, if you don't know the city's
layout, see our Venice Orientation Map
before booking.

Hotel Airone
Directions and Booking Links
Powered by iMapBuilder
ABOVE: The
icons mark the Hotel Airone and hotels nearby. The Airone is directly across the
Grand Canal from the train station.
The two-star
Hotel Airone faces the Grand Canal and the Santa Lucia Railroad
Station. It isn't luxurious, but its rates are reasonable for the location.
(Caveats: The hotel doesn't offer breakfast or Internet access.)
How to reach the Hotel Airone 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.
From Santa Lucia railroad station:
The most direct way to the Airone
is over the Scalzi Bridge next to the train station. (Scroll the map down with
your mouse or finger for a better view.)
-
As you leave the train station, turn left and walk the short
distance to the Scalzi Bridge.
-
Cross the bridge.
-
Turn right as you leave the bridge and follow the
fondamenta or waterside pavement to the Hotel Airone. The hotel is a
minute or two from the bridge, beyond the Hotel Antiche Figure and the
Carlton on the Grand Canal.
If you hate stairs and you're traveling with heavy luggage, you
might want to consider a slightly longer but less strenuous route:
-
As you leave the station, turn right and walk past a large
building to the Calatrava Bridge (a.k.a. the Ponte della Costituzione). This
bridge has a gentler incline and is much easier to cross with luggage than
the Scalzi Bridge.
-
Cross the Calatrava Bridge to the Piazzale Roma.
-
Follow the directions above.
From the Marittima cruise terminals:
-
Take a free shuttle bus (if available), a taxi, or the
People Mover elevated
tramway to the Piazzale Roma. (The People Mover's glass-enclosed station is
just beyond the port gates.)
-
Follow the directions from Piazzale Roma.
