Hotel Gritti Palace

Situated on the Grand Canal, with an incomparable view of the water, the Hotel Gritti Palace was built in 1525 as the residence of the Doge of Venice, Andrea Gritti. Our hotel's ideal location, along with luxuriously appointed rooms, attentive service, and the savory cuisine of the Club del Doge restaurant continues to attract elite guests. Ernest Hemingway once appreciated the hotel "as the best hotel in a city of great hotels." Our hotel is a splendid little Palazzo that preserves within its walls stories of illustrious visitors such as the British Royal family, the Duke of Windsor, Princes of Monaco, and Hollywood stars. Splendid and bewitching, Venice is easily one of the most beautiful places in the world. From the lure of the lagoon, to the stone filigree of the Ducal Palace, and sunsets on the Grand Canal, its magic creates the most enchanting of surroundings. Named one of the "Best of the Best," one of the "Top 75 Resorts in Europe," and to the Gold List Reserve by Condé Nast Traveler in 2005 , the Hotel Gritti Palace is one of the world's most celebrated hotels.
