On Venice’s Grand Canal near St Mark’s, The Gritti Palace is a five-star Luxury Collection hotel with 82 rooms and suites, canal-side dining, a Sisley spa and a history dating to 1475.
The Gritti Palace stands directly on the Grand Canal, close to La Fenice and St Mark’s, with views across to Santa Maria della Salute. The building dates to 1475 and became the residence of Doge Andrea Gritti in 1525, and it has been a hotel since the 19th century. There are 82 rooms and suites, including ten signature suites and rooms named after past guests, full of Murano chandeliers, antiques and Rubelli fabrics. Dining is canal-side, from the formal Club del Doge to the seasonal Gritti Terrace, with the elegant Bar Longhi and the outdoor Riva Lounge for drinks. The Gritti Spa is run with Sisley Paris, and the hotel runs a long programme of Venetian craft and boat experiences, including trips aboard a classic Riva speedboat. It suits couples and culture-focused travellers who want a grand, historic address in the heart of Venice.
Dining makes the most of the Grand Canal. Club del Doge is the main restaurant, serving Venetian and Italian cooking on a waterside terrace, with the seasonal Gritti Terrace alongside for al fresco lunches.
Bar Longhi is the elegant cocktail bar, known for its martini trolley, and the Riva Lounge is the outdoor terrace for drinks by the water. The Gritti Epicurean School runs cooking classes and tastings.

It is a city stay rather than a resort, with no general pool, so it is best for couples and culture-focused travellers who want to be at the heart of Venice.
