The hype
The location and terrace are magical, but the rooms vary wildly in size and view quality.
The Gritti Palace, A Luxury Collection Hotel, Venice
$1,100-1,800+ / noć
Rezerviraj ovo ako You want the definitive 'Hemingway in Venice' experience and have the budget to back it up.
Zašto Ljudima Se Sviđa
- Unrivaled Grand Canal terrace views at Club del Doge
- Opulent Venetian decor (Murano glass, antiques, Rubelli fabrics)
- Service that feels like old-world royalty, not corporate hospitality
Brzi pregled: It is obscenely expensive and some rooms feel slightly tired, but the location and history are practically unbeatable.
Pregledano od @GabrielDUgo6631304: I felt like actual royalty staying here. The level of detail in the decor—from the oil paintings to the silk drapes—is insane. It’s not just a hotel room; it’s a piece of Venetian history. If you want the full aristocratic experience, you have to book this suite.

- You appreciate heavy, historic decor over modern minimalism
- Breakfast on a terrace watching the Grand Canal wake up is your dream
- You want a concierge who can actually open impossible doors

“I am celebrating a special occasion and would appreciate a room on the 2nd or 3rd floor for the higher ceilings. If a Canal view isn't possible, a quiet courtyard view away from the service elevators is preferred over an internal wall view.”
FAQ & Skriveni savjeti
Sve što zaista trebate znati prije nego što rezervirate.
Is there a pool?
No. There is no pool for general guests. Only the top-tier Redentore Terrazza Suite has a private plunge pool.
Does the hotel have a shuttle?
No free shuttle. You must arrange a private water taxi (expensive) or take the Alilaguna public boat to the S. Maria del Giglio stop (cheaper, but requires walking).
Is breakfast included?
Not in standard rates. It costs around €55 per person if not part of your booking package or elite status benefit.
Are pets allowed?
Yes, dogs and cats up to 6kg (13lbs) stay for free. They provide a luxury dog bed and bowls.
Is there a resort fee?
No resort fee, but there is a city tourist tax of approx. €5 per person/night collected at the hotel.
Can I get an upgrade?
Marriott Bonvoy elites often get upgraded to 'Venetian' rooms or 'Sestiere' suites, but these usually face the courtyard, not the canal.
Saveti insajdera
- ✨
The 'Venetian Room' upgrade often comes with a shower/tub combo rather than a separate tub, so ask specifically if you want a walk-in shower.
- ✨
You can order coffee on the terrace even if you aren't staying there—a cheaper way to enjoy the view than a full dinner.
- ✨
The concierge can arrange a private boat tour to the vegetable gardens on Sant'Erasmo island where the restaurant sources produce.
5 stvari koje trebate znati prije nego što dođete

💡There is a steep 'coperto' (cover charge) of €12 per person at the restaurant, even for hotel guests.
💡The terrace can be chilly in shoulder seasons and heating is minimal.
💡You might get a room with a view of a brick wall if you book the base rate.
💡The gym is very small and tucked away—clearly an afterthought.
