The Gritti Palace

Nothing beats the Gritti. The location, the building, the staff (hands down the best concierge in Venice), the bar, and ohh the rooms. It felt like waking up in a dream. The level of craftsmanship that has gone into the entire property is above and beyond. I could have spent the whole trip between the bed and bath-tub, only there is so much to enjoy in Venice. Breakfast is fantastic and by the second day the team remembered what we had most enjoyed and brought it out as soon as we sat down. We can't wait to be back!

All the staff was very helpful polite and helpful the hotel was of a very high standard. The service was wonderful and the breakfast had a lot of choice.and restaurant was very good . The rooms were clean and view was just magical . Had a lovely 5 nights there . Would recommend to anyone

Everything about The Gritti Palace is exceptional. The service, restaurants, rooms, and atmosphere is top notch. We even took a private gondola ride around the islands and it was one of the highlights of our trip. It was something to be able to experience the place!

We spent one night in Venice at the end of a long trip and splurged on The Gritti Palace, paying $1,500 for a standard room. Celebrating a special occasion, we were upgraded to a deluxe room which was of comfortable proportions. Unfortunately, being a busy time of year, no rooms with views were available. On that note, try not to go to Venice in July, it's the hottest we've ever been on Earth. Due to the heat, we returned to the hotel for every meal, and found the food delicious and beautifully presented and the dining location unbeatable. Of course it was very, very expensive but seemed worth it to escape the throngs of tourists in the busiest corner of Venice. The room was faultless, though in hindsight, I would have prioritized having a room with a view. The marble bath with soaking tub was divine. The staff surprised us with champagne and strawberries at one point. Service was a 10/10. Every staff member we encountered was pleasant and helpful. I don't know that I would stay in this section of Venice again- you must traverse all the basic shopping (Rolex, etc.) you see in every major city to get to the sites. I would pick a more charming, local neighborhood and make one trip in for Doge's Palace.

Another AMAZING stay at The Gritti. There's no better place to stay in Venice if budget allows. Super glamorous but with a friendly, homely feel. Really special, kind staff, a beautiful bar, and an unrivalled terrace on which to enjoy a fantastic breakfast, watching the water world go by. The hotel kindly upgraded us to a stunning Patron suite with an incredible view of the Grand Canal and provided a lovely, complimentary bottle of champagne and a huge Easter egg - wonderful touches we really appreciated. We will, God willing, be back. Grazie, Gritti Palace!
