We arrived in Venice after having spent 3 days in Rome. At Marco Polo aiport we took a water bus to the Island of San Marco (vaporetto #1)- about a 30 mins ride, but so much fun and much much cheaper than a water taxi. We passed by the islands of Burrano, Murrano- Lido ect... As we got off the... more

My husband and I just stayed at the Gritti Palace Hotel in Venice. We had just come off of a cruise where my husband had what they thought was broncitis. The cruise ended in Venice and then we would fly back to the United States. The hotel had already heard from the the Seabourn that my husband was sick and... more

We decided to go to the Gritti Palace hotel on our first wedding anniversary weekend, and overall we found it a very good choice. On arrival, though, the receptionist said she was going to send the housekeeper upstairs to check that everything was OK with our room. So we went onto the terrace to have our first drink of our... more

We stayed two nights at this hotel and chose a room overlooking the Grand Canal. Very nice room, maybe not up to the 40 sqm advertised on the spg website, but with extremely large bathroom, filled with many bath products. We had some mosquitoes in the room (and they loved me!!!), but a mosquito plug was available in our cupboard.... more

We had a wonderful stay at the Gritti hotel. We only stayed 2 nights and I wish we were able to stay longer. The concierge were great and very helpful. Our room was beautiful and very large, with a marble bathroom. Our room service was very quick and makes the best coffee. more

We just returned 2 nights ago from 2 nights at the Gritti Palace in Venice. It was at the end of a great 2 week long trip throughout the Mediterranean so we'd stayed in many hotels. Our in laws got such a depressingly dark room that I didn't even enter. Hallways are grim and scary. Kids scared to be by... more

I have stayed at luxury hotels all over the world and this was a disappointment. I was traveling with my two younger sisters and we had a very nice river view suite arranged. When we arrived they put us in a disgusting "suite" with a view of the roof next door, and ceilings that I could touch flat footed. Not... more

Stayed for 2 nights as part of an engagement trip to Venice. The third night was to be at the Cipriani. From the moment you step on to the hotel's "Terrazza Gritti" from a water taxi on the Grand Canal you know that you are entering a world of Venetian splendour. The hotel has managed to keep an authentic Palazzo... more

My husband and I stayed for 3 nights this July at this absolutely elegant hotel. It is like living in a museum. The hotel is filled with antiques, and so was our very spacious bedroom (even by American standards) including a Murano chandelier and exquisite mirror. The hotel sits directly on the Grand Canal on a quiet courtyard next to... more
