We have no hesitation in choosing The Gritti Palace hotel as our go-to destination, and to fully recommend to you, our special clients, as the perfect base in Venice.
Super centrally located in San Marco, this is a 15th century noble palazzo and luxury hotel located in the heart of historic Venice. Overlooking the Grand Canal, the hotel boasts one of the most enthralling views of the lagoon city, spanning from the island of San Giorgio Maggiore past Punta della Dogana and the Basilica of Santa Maria della Salute to the Peggy Guggenheim Collection.
Restored in 2013, The Gritti Palace is today a place of exceptional art and elegance while retaining its reassuringly intimate and familiar feel. In our opinion simply it is the best. With 61 luxurious guest rooms and 21 sumptuous suites reflecting the intimacy of a private residence, it is the only place to stay.
Designed by Chuck Chewning, every suite is a work of Venetian art in itself, featuring treasures such as hand blown Murano glass, archival historic fabrics, the finest Italian marbles, and rare books and objects that are unique to The Gritti Palace, alongside the latest technology and spacious bathrooms.
The Restaurant Club del Doge, with the amazing Executive Chef Daniele Turco, reflects authentic Venetian gourmet seasonal cuisine at its best. The fabulous Gritti Terrace offers informal lunches and snacks and spectacular views of the Grand Canal, while the Longhi Bar has the best cocktails in an elegant and relaxed atmosphere. True connoisseurs head for drinks and light lunches at the Riva Lounge, a 55m2 terrace with design inspiration from the Riva Aquarama Lounge at the Monaco Yacht Club.
And finally, The Gritti SPA, a sensorial world with Phyto-Aromatic treatments by Sisley Paris. I often end a long day in Venice with a full massage from one of their exceptionally talented masseuses...there is nothing better.
