The five-star
St. Regis Venice, formerly the Europa & Regina, is one of Venice's most conveniently-situated luxury
hotels, especially for shoppers.
Many of the top boutiques are in the
surrounding streets, and the hotel has its own water-taxi pier for convenience
in hauling suitcases filled with Missoni sweaters, Prada handbags, and Jesurum
linens to the airport.
The hotel is one bridge away from the San Marco Giardinetti
waterbus pier, which is served by Alilaguna airport boats.
How to reach The St. Regis Venice from San Marco
Giardinetti:
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.
At the first corner, turn left into the Salizzada San Moisè.
Walk to the narrow canal alongside the Hotel Bauer, where you'll see
gondolas on your left and a small bridge just ahead.
Cross the bridge. On your left, you'll see a campiello or
small square and the Hotel Violino d'Oro. Look for a sotoportego
or passage.
Go through the passage and past the Hotel Lisbona.
Continue down the Ramo Secondo Barozzi to the Corte Barozzi,
where you'll see the entrance to The St. Regis Venice in the southwest corner
of the small square.
