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 Gritti now has 82 rooms, including 21 sumptuous suites. The price per night starts at about 1400€ for 2 people. It's a budget indeed! But if you're celebrating a special occasion as a couple and want to give your partner a fabulous surprise, there's no better place in Venice.
When you enter this Gothic-style palace, you'll find a royal, flamboyant and unique interior decoration: numerous Murano chandeliers illuminating the terrazzo floor, dark wood paneling and antique furniture, sumptuous antiques and mournful oil paintings lining the walls 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!
Depending on the room you choose, you will enjoy the following amenities: typical Venetian interior design, Murano chandelier, king size bed with exquisite comfort, air conditioning, soft bed linen, marble bathroom, lighted mirror, flat screen TV and many little touches upon arrival.
Superior rooms offer exceptional views through floor-to-ceiling French doors. A secret pleasure is watching the glistening reflections of water ripple across your walls in the morning light. The ultimate in luxury, the Redentore-Terrazza suite spans 2 floors. Its spectacular 250 square meter rooftop terrace offers a dreamy view of the city.
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.
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 Gritti Palace puts at your disposal a magnificent Riva Yacht and offers you the opportunity to discover Venice and its surroundings: Burano, Murano, the lagoons, the fishermen's islands, etc. The captain will take you on a real adventure! Between two visits, you can also relax at the Acqua di Parma spa or treat yourself to a cooking class, using seasonal products purchased at the Rialto market.
