A legendary place

The hotel was commissioned in 1475 by the Venetian doge Andrea Gritti, who gave it its name. At the time, it served as a residence for Vatican ambassadors. It actually opened as a hotel in 1895. It was completely renovated in 2014. With a total budget of 35 million euros, the renovation took place over 15 months and had the sustained attention of the Italian lake city.

The arrival

When you enter this Gothic-style palace, you discover a regal, flamboyant, and unique interior design: numerous Murano chandeliers illuminate the terrazzo floor, dark wood paneling and antique furniture, sumptuous antiques, and somber oil paintings adorn the walls, which are decorated with Rubelli fabrics. Everything is imbued with a golden, precious glow.

The staff is absolutely wonderful and welcomes you in 3 languages: Italian, English and French. If you speak another language, there is always a way to find a solution!

The terrace facing the Grand Canal

There is nothing more pleasant in life than to sit on the terrace of the Gritti, located on the Grand Canal, when the sun sets. The light on the Grand Canal becomes golden, exquisite. You are almost immersed in the sirenic swell of the Grand Canal and lulled by the baritone of the passing gondoliers.

The glamorous restaurant

For an unforgettable dining experience, book a table at the hotel's restaurant, Club del Doge. In an atmosphere of old-world glamour, discover the creations of chef Daniele Turco. Think tagliolini buried in a mound of white truffle cushion, raw red shrimp that melts in your mouth and spider crabs bathed in lobster bisque. A dinner you won't soon forget.

The spa

At the end of the day, come and recharge your batteries in the hotel's Sisley spa. There is an aromatic hammam and two large treatment rooms for couples to enjoy a treatment or massage together.
