The Hotel Indigo Venice Sant'Elena (formerly the Best Western Premier Hotel Sant'Elena)  is in a quiet, family-friendly residential neighborhood near the eastern tip of Venice's historic center. It's a relaxing 20- to 25-minute walk along the waterfront from the Piazza San Marco.

The location may feel isolated in the colder months, but in summer, it offers quick access to Venice's Lido beach resort, which is only one vaporetto stop away from the hotel.

How to reach the Hotel Indigo Venice Sant'Elena from the Arsenale airport-boat stop:

1. As you leave the Alilaguna Linea Blu stop at Arsenale, turn right and walk along the waterfront.

2. Cross the footbridge and keep walking past the Museo Storico Navale (Naval Museum) and the Hotel Bucintoro.

3. When you see a street (the Via Garibaldi) angling inland, bear right and continue along the water on the Riva dei Sette Martiri.

4. Continue walking past the Biennale grounds and the Giardini Publici (Public Gardens).

5.  At the end of the park, follow the pavement's curve to a footbridge over another canal. Cross the bridge and walk a short distance straight ahead to the Viale IV Novembre (a pedestrian path through the trees).

7. Turn right and walk a short block to the Hotel Indigo Venice Sant'Elena (shown on the map as the "Best Western Premier Hotel Sant'Elena") ,which is a large building of yellow stucco and brick.
