    Dreaming on the Grand Canal
    by craic
    My friend was walking me around close by and asked if she could pop in to pick up a book. She works there as a translator for the cooking/art classes they hold. (First off you get a look at a famous picture involving food, then you get to cook the dish.)
    Sure I said - and we approached the faded grandeur of a little palazzo. Right on the Canale Grande. In we popped and oh my goodness me. Understated elegance. The tranquil hush of a top hotel. I got a guided tour of the ground floor and a potted history of some of the antiques - and I started dreaming. Just one night in the Hotel Gritti - please!
    I have just checked the tariff before I wrote this - and it sort of starts at 1000 euro a night for a room without a view. So there you go. Starting to look a bit unlikely.
    But my friend told me it is perfectly possible for (well-dressed) blow ins to march up to the bar with the view and blow their budget by having a bellini.
    ALSO - at the end of the street there is a gondola plying for hire that takes you across the Canale Grande for an euro or two. So if you just want a quick taste of gondola life and a photo opportunity, that might be the way to go.

    Gritti Palace: Gritti Palace.    Check Rates

  • $450-$500 US

    The location is great.The Danieli is too close to the action and the Cipriani is a short boat ride away. That short boat ride can be annoying, however, in the busy season.

  • Comparison: most expensive
  • Directions: On the Grand canal and a short walk from San Marco, the Gritti Palace has the unique quality of being a short walk from the activity of the city while remaining quiet and private.

  • Oldest Elevator I have ever seen! - Venice
    Oldest Elevator I have
    ever seen!

    I found this hotel to be so unbelievable rich with history and charm.....

    I felt like I stepped back in time and was some sort of royalty - the lobby, the decor, the service, it was unbelievable.

    Our room was a standard room, and although it had no view (some sort of building next door), it was the largest of all rooms I have stayed in while in Europe.

    The staff was very very attentive, and helpful with directions, questions, etc.

    The breakfast was also quite enjoyable with a great varierty of meats, cheeses, fruits, pastries and other dishes available I thoroughly enjoyed eating breakfast along the canal every morning, enjoying the daily paper.

    This place was such a treat, if you are going for a special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc) as we did, and you can afford it, I highly recommend staying there for a couple of nights

    Restaurant and lounge were both along the canal.

    As I said, the staff and the hotel itself made me feel like I stepped back in time, even the elevator was something I will never forget! The rooms had TVs, were clean, it was just a great hotel experience.

    The location is also fabulous, we were in the middle of everything! We walked to St Mark's Square, the Rialto bridge, the Guggenheim - I don't think we took a water taxi anywhere aside from to and from the airport.

    To be able to sit out and have a drink at the lounge and be along the water was so so so memorable. I will never forget drinking Prosecco and cigar my husband smoked as we sat out on a gorgeous night with an amazing view of the Canal.

    The Gritti Palace hotel in venice was built in 1525 as the residence of the Doge of Venice, Andrea Gritti. 5 star rates Venice hotel, quite famous. ideal location on the Grand Canal.
    Room size ( for venice 0 was quite good. Breakfast enjoyable.

    The Gritti palace, being 5 star, is expensive, but luckily we had a very ood deal. We had stayed 2 nights at the Danieli but they were full for the other nigth we wanted. We were pleased we managed to fet a room at the GFritti as it had been one of our choices.

    Very easy to walk to from the hotel. Staying at the Gritti will certainly make memories. A lovely hotel that i would highly recommend. sadly just a short stay.

    I agree with Jenn, sitting on the terrace you have a view that seriously you could only have dreamt of !
    Expensive yes, but amazing memories, yes !

    Amazing decor, great service, excellent location.
