Gritti Palace Luxury Hotel, Venice
Expert reviews
“Better save up before bedding down on the Grand Canal. At the illustrious Gritti Palace, with its 82 recently restored rooms and suites, rates start around $477.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Venice, Italy.
“Gritti Palace is probably what you have in mind when you think “Venetian hotel”—Grand Canal views; beautiful, exquisitely detailed rooms done up in rich fabrics; and above-and-beyond service.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Venice.
“Unapologetically Venetian, the majestic Gritti Palace, A Luxury Collection Hotel, Venice blends the charms and elegance of the city with an intimate luxury. The Gritti Palace’s history stretches back to 1475, when it was transformed into its current Gothic shape by the Pisani family. In 1525, it became the private residence of the Doge of Venice, Andrea Gritti.”
“This 15th-century palazzo occupies one of the loveliest spots on the Grand Canal, looking across to the magnificent Salute church, and has equally sumptuous interiors to match, with priceless antiques and frescoes, and a small but exquisite spa.”

Your reception service needs work especially the brown guy
The staff needs improvement. This Indian front desk staff checked me in and his service needs work. Same with the bar staff. I wouldn’t recommend this place based on service

Never going back, already told to all my friends to avoid it at any cost.
The design and location
They charged me 1500 euros when I checked in although I paid my bill in advance and then the last of my checkout they charged me another 1610 euros with no reason. I STILL HAVEN’T RECEIVED THE MONEY BACK. In addition, when I asked for a room with a canal view the woman at the desk said: THIS IS ANOTHER PRICE RANGE believing I couldn’t afford it. Although I could.

wonderful
ambience , bar and restaurant, location . Quality of decor .
Nothing , it is expensive, but Venice is expensive , there is no value in Venice … it’s about a very special place and you pay to see it . loved the property , it made the experience wonderful and you do get what you pay for … so there is value in that .

I stayed in a palace right on the Grand Canal right in the heart of Venice!
The location is perfect for seeing the major sights in Venice. It’s minutes from St. Mark’s and the Doge’s Palace. The hotel itself is a palace and the canal location gives it exceptional ambiance.
The price is quite high so staying there is probably only appropriate for special occasions.

luxury comes at a price but nothing was too much effort
The property is centrally place, great hotel and amazing terrace to watch the world go by!
I wished the spa times were longer.

Horrible false advertisement and rude staff
The decor
The staff that work at this property are rude and disrespectful. This was a mother daughter trip for us and it was so bad that we had to check out and go stay at another hotel. My daughters were so confused and sad due to their in unacceptable rude and disrespectful behavior.

Nice hotel but wouldn’t go back
Our room was big and the bar areas, indoor and outdoor, were a nice stop.
Some of the concierges and most waiters were very condescending. It made our stay somewhat unpleasant. (this does not apply to the room service staff nor the reception.

Breakfast was lovely, so much on offer for buffet however was it worth the cost, no I don't think so.
The room size was very small for space around the bed considering the cost of the room.

Wonderful stay in a beautiful hotel.
Beautiful location on the Grand Canal, there is nothing better than having your breakfast and watching the world go by here. Stunning Venetian decor and overall friendly and attentive staff.
Concierge could have been friendlier...

Ine of the most beautiful places to stay in Venice!
beautiful place, excellent location. very comfortable room, quite and very comfortable bed.
a little overpriced restaurant for what it is. you pay for the view and the atmosphere, but could be more reasonable priced.

Complete luxury, totally indulgence and exceptional service
The hotel was truly fabulous. It exceeded every single expectation and we were totally blown away. The concierge was outstanding.
Nothing could have been better. It would have been impossible to make anything better. Just a longer stay!

Beautiful palace in Venice with nice restaurants and bar.
Spectacular palace converted into a hotel.
For the price you are not getting what you'd expect. For €2200 a night, in February, I got a size of room I would be angry to pay €400 a night for anywhere else. To get a room you'd expect at €2200, you need to pay €8000 a night. So be warned if you're planning something special like a honeymoon.

Breakfast was very nice and location of the hotel was great and very convenient as everything was at short distance (museums/galleries/attractions)!!! The room had a perfect size while the staff were very attentive and offered flowers for my wife's birthday and also a room upgrade! Would love to go back!!

Great location, great hotel, amazing staff
The hotel is in a perfect location, has great facilities and excellent staff. It’s definitely not a budget option but then if you’re looking for that you wouldn’t be considering staying here.
Some of the rooms are louder than others it seems - the walls are well soundproofed but if you have a family with kids above you then expect to be woken up by a thud or two. Pretty frustrating when you’re paying a fair amount to stay here but to be fair to them to staff were super attentive.
