The Gritti Palace, A Luxury Collection Hotel, Venice

We stayed here for one night but basically had two days there with the late check out. We were there before a work event at the JW and it was a great way to dive into Venice. With its architecture and decor it gives you the venice experience right away. They upgraded us to an amazing room with a living room and balcony. Service was amazing - especially the woman who checked us in - and the location was perfect. Highly recommend.

What a beautiful hotel and heartwarming place to stay at! We came here for our babymoon, and the hotel prepared a lovely gift for our unborn baby. We also received a beautiful rose bouquet on my birthday, with a long handwritten message. The staffs are really nice, providing top notch services and really going above and beyond to make sure we feel like home the entire stay there. The hotel has a large patio, one side as a restaurant and the other side as a bar. You can choose to have your breakfast on the patio everyday while enjoying the gorgeous view of the Grand Canal and Basilica Santa Maria della Salute. Highly recommend this hotel for anyone who’s considering a once in a lifetime visit to Venice!

An absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. Due to a flight disruption, we were worried about missing our reservation, but the team was incredibly helpful and responsive. They kindly accommodated our delay and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The staff were exceptionally professional, attentive, and friendly. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and exceeded our expectations. The setting and views were simply breathtaking, making the entire experience even more special. Thank you to the whole team for your outstanding hospitality. We had a fantastic afternoon and created wonderful memories. We would highly recommend The Gritti Terrace to anyone visiting Venice and look forward to returning in the future.

There are hotels with impressive interiors, beautiful views, or famous names. And then there are places like The Gritti Palace — where hospitality becomes something deeply personal and almost impossible to describe properly. Its not one spectacular moment, but the feeling of being genuinely cared for from the very first second. You arrive, and somehow everyone already understands your rhythm, your needs, your preferences — often before you even ask. The concierge team, reception, housekeeping, the bar, Club del Doge restaurant — every single person contributes to this atmosphere of effortless elegance and warmth. I stayed alone during this trip, and perhaps because of that, I felt their attention and kindness even more deeply. There was never a moment where something felt forced or performative. Everything was simply done beautifully, naturally, with pleasure and generosity. This is very rare luxury today. It is difficult to name one or two people because the level of care was consistently exceptional everywhere. Perfect housekeeping, immaculate rooms, thoughtful details, seamless service, incredible comfort. I was lucky enough to stay in two different rooms, including a suite, and honestly, I struggle to imagine what could have been done better. What makes The Gritti Palace special is not “service” in the traditional sense. It is the feeling that you belong there. That you are not treated like a hotel guest, but like someone truly welcomed into a Venetian home with history, soul, and extraordinary standards. In a world where many luxury hotels try very hard to impress, The Gritti Palace does something much more difficult: it makes everything feel effortless. One of the most memorable hospitality experiences I have ever had.
