Walking directions to Hotel Pensione Wildner (with map)

From: Venice Hotel Directions

The Hotel Pensione Wildner has a long history, as well as a superb waterfront location amid the luxury hotels on Venice's Riva degli Schiavoni.

In the era of Henry James and for much of the 20th Century, the hotel was known as the Pensione Wildner, and that name still adorns the building's façade. Today, the Wildner offers all the usual modern conveniences. You can even bring your pet for free.

How to reach the Hotel Wildner from the San Zaccaria airport-boat stop:

1. As you leave the Alilaguna Linea Blu waterbus station, turn right and walk along the waterfront promenade.

2. The Hotel Wildner will be up ahead. (It's the third building before the stone bridge.)

From the San Basilio cruise pier:

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

2. At the ACTV vaporetto station (which is just ahead), take a No. 2 water bus in the direction of San Zaccaria.

3. As you leave the boat station at San Zaccaria, look for the Hotel Wildner, which will be almost straight ahead of you facing the waterfront promenade.
