About this hotel
The Gritti Palace is a Luxury Collection hotel on the Grand Canal in Venice, occupying a 16th-century palazzo that once served as a doge's residence. The property retains the architectural grandeur and historical character of its origins, with period details woven through its public spaces and rooms. A restaurant and bar are on-site, positioned to take advantage of the canal views. The Luxury Collection designation places it in the upper tier of international hospitality, and it carries a Forbes Travel Guide Property award for 2026, an external validation of its standing. The location on the Grand Canal itself is the primary draw - guests experience Venice's most iconic waterway directly from the hotel rather than having to navigate to it. The property appeals to travellers seeking historical immersion alongside contemporary luxury service.
