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 (Hotel sites are often years out of date.)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 Orion
Directions and Booking Links
Powered by iMapBuilder
ABOVE: The Hotel Orion is marked by an
icon in the upper section of the map, just to the left of the three-icon
cluster. (Zoom in for a better view.)
 The three-star
Hotel Orion
is a few short blocks north of the Piazza San Marco, on the way to the Rialto
Bridge. Like many smaller Venice hotels, the Orion doesn't have an elevator
(which can be good or bad, depending on your exercise needs or your knees).
How to reach the Hotel Orion from San Marco
Giardinetti:
-
As you leave the boat platform, turn right and walk along
the water. (Souvenir kiosks and a small public garden will be on your left.)
You'll cross a low metal ramp over a canal.
-
At the Piazzetta (a large open space with two stone
columns), turn left and walk into the Piazza San Marco.
-
Walk toward the Basilica di San Marco and look for the Calle
San Basso, which is on the northeastern side of the Piazza San Marco near
the carved stone lions by the basilica.
-
Walk one short block on the Calle San Basso, bear right into
the Calle Larga San Marco, and immediately turn left onto the Calle
Spadaria.
-
The Hotel Orion will be just ahead on the Calle Spadaria.
Look for the hanging sign above the entrance.
From the Marittima cruise terminals:
-
Take the Alilaguna Blue Line airport boat from the cruise
basin to the San Marco Giardinetti waterbus stop.
-
Follow the directions above.
