Walking directions to NH Collection Venezia Grand Hotel Palazzo dei Dogi (with map)

From: Venice Hotel Directions

The five-star, 72-room NH Collection Venezia Grand Hotel Palazzo dei Dogi occupies an historic palazzo in the Cannaregio district.

Amenities include a huge private garden, a water-taxi landing on the Venetian Lagoon, an upmarket restaurant and bar, a spa and wellness center, and a free hotel shuttle boat to the Piazza San Marco.

The Orto (a.k.a. Madonna dell'Orto) waterbus stop is close to the hotel. It's used by several ACTV vaporetto lines and the Alilaguna Orange Line airport boat, and there are no bridges between the pier and the hotel.

How to reach the hotel from Madonna dell'Orto (Alilaguna Linea Arancio):

1. As you leave the pier, walk straight ahead on the street that leads inland. (The street will fork and jog around a building or two, but don't worry: Just keep going forward until you reach a canal.)

2. At the Madonna dell'Orto Canal, turn right. The hotel's entrance will be just ahead of you on the fondamenta or sidewalk along the canal.
