The five-star
Luna Hotel Baglioni (see our
illustrated review) is said to be Venice's oldest hotel, dating back to the
Crusades. It's less flashy and more intimate than many of Venice's top luxury
hotels, and it has a perfect location on the Bacino di San Marco just a few
meters west of St. Mark's Square.
Although the Luna Baglioni has its own landing
for water taxis, it's also easy to reach on foot from the San Marco Giardinetti
waterbus stop, which is served by airport boats of Alilaguna's Blue and Orange
lines.
How to reach the Luna Hotel Baglioni from the
Alilaguna airport boat's San Marco Giardinetti stop:
As you leave the boat station, turn left and cross a small
stone bridge.
Continue a few meters to the Calle Vallaresso and turn
right.
Walk straight ahead down the Calle Vallaresso, past Harry's
Bar and a row of designer shops.
The Luna Hotel Baglioni's entrance will be on your right,
before you reach the corner.
