Where to stay near Venice's smaller cruise pier
In Venice, small oceangoing ships and river vessels often use the San Basilio cruise pier or its extension, the Santa Marta pier. This long quay is at the foot of the Giudecca Canal, around the corner from the larger Marittima cruise basin.
If you're looking for a hotel near San Basilio, you have several options:
The immediate neighborhood:
These hotels are within short to moderate walking distance of the San Basilio pier and terminal building, with only one or two small footbridges to cross.

Between your hotel and the pier, take No. 2 vaporetto (Zattere to S. Basilio, or vice versa) or walk.
Across the Giudecca Canal:
The following hotel is one stop away from San Basilio on the No. 2 vaporetto, or you can take the hotel's free shuttle to Zattere and walk to San Basilio.
