One guest summed it up:
“Fantastic location! Great bar and restaurant, but book before you get there as it is very popular. Great rooms with good facilities.”
On the Grand Canal

Set in a prime spot on Venice’s Grand Canal, The Gritti Palace, A Luxury Collection Hotel, puts everything the city has to offer just outside the door - both business travellers and holidaymakers use it as a base, and the service-minded staff are used to looking after both. Every guestroom is elegantly furnished, and the hotel offers a Turkish steam bath, 24-hour room service and free Wi-Fi.
Historic rooms come with slippers and a mini bar, hair dryers and bathrobes in the bathroom, plus heating, a bathtub and a telephone. The restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and in the evening the lounge bar is the natural spot to wind down - though Venice has no shortage of its own bars and cafes nearby if you’d rather wander.
The hotel also runs babysitting services, a currency exchange and a round-the-clock reception. Venice Biennale, St Mark’s Basilica and Piazza San Marco are all within a 10-minute walk, and the Veneto wine region is close enough for a day trip.
