The Gritti Palace

I would like to sincerely thank the wonderful staff who made my birthday so incredibly special. You made me feel important, valued, and truly cared for. My birthday dinner was nothing short of superb and truly blessed, an experience I will never forget. Your kindness, attention to detail, and professionalism touched my heart, and I will remain forever grateful for everything you did. I promise to find a way to give back to each of you for the warmth and generosity you showed me.

Unique in Venice. Impeccable all-around service, from housekeeping to the RIVA Bar. Every aspect of your stay is curated under the tutelage of the newly appointed GM Mr.Giovanni Cellerino and his team. Attention to details is at the base of a perfect stay.

Our second time staying here and it was just as great as we remembered! It’s a beautiful property, with such an incredible history. It’s easy to walk from the hotel around town, which is a huge plus in Venice. The breakfast is my favorite meal available at the hotel - its the most incredible spread (buffet and made to order options, cappuccinos, fresh juices, etc. are all included) The bar feels like you’re in an old time movie, one of the classics. Our favorite cocktail is the Basilica, so much so that we have replicated it at home. Pro tip: snag an extra bottle of water at breakfast to take back to your room if you drink a TON of water like we do, I’ll drink the bottles they give me in the room before lunch, so I always need extra.

The Gritti Palace has it all figured out. Our stay was pure perfection with no missteps anywhere. First, there is the location - right on the Grand Canal with a terrace that has an amazing view of the Basilica Santa Maria della Salute. It is a perfect place to have a cappuccino or aperitif. The staff is amazing. They are so well trained and work together in perfect harmony. They seem to anticipate any time there is a concern and move swiftly to resolve it. Our room was beautiful, well laid out, and again, they had thought of everything. Sure, you pay for this level of luxury, but you will not leave disappointed. We can't wait to go back.

A great stay on the grand canal. While there are several nice hotels in Venice, the Gritti Palace is special to us. We stayed in one of the canal front suites on what I guess would be the second floor. The decor was a bit over the top, but it was completely comfortable. Little technological glitches, like a non-functional record player, really didn’t negatively impact our stay since we were regularly showered with attention and support from the professional hotel staff. The food was truly great. Wondrous breakfasts and room service. Dinner on the canal was top notch. The bed was super comfortable and the bathroom well appointed.
