Hotels in Santa CroceIf you're arriving or departing at the Santa Lucia Railroad Station, the Piazzale Roma (airport buses and taxis), the Marittima cruise basin, or the Tronchetto parking garage, there's a good chance that you'll stay (or should at least consider staying) at a hotel in Venice's sestiere of Santa Croce.
