word choice - "How far" vs "How long"

I am not clear how to use "How long" and "How far". Suppose I got in a taxi or cab to my hotel, how should I say to the driver if I want to know the distance to the hotel? Which of the following is correct?




How far is it to the hotel?



How long is it to the hotel?





Then,if I need to know the time it will take to the hotel, may I say:




How long is it to the hotel?




Or are there any other more appropriate expressions for the above two scenarios?
