The Pisani family gave the building its Gothic form in 1475, and it became the residence of Doge Andrea Gritti in 1525. That history remains visible in the terrazzo floors, artworks, and carved furnishings. The interiors embrace their layers: framed paintings, decorative surfaces, and canal light give the public rooms a residential sense of ceremony. The Gritti Palace is part of The Luxury Collection, with the individuality of the historic building central to the stay.
The hotel has 82 accommodations, comprising 61 rooms and 21 suites. The collection includes suites associated with former guests Ernest Hemingway and Somerset Maugham, as well as Venetian cultural landmarks.
Rare antiques, Murano glass chandeliers, and marble bathrooms establish the room style. Views depend on the category: the Grand Canal, Campo Santa Maria del Giglio, and other aspects of the surrounding neighborhood are distinct choices. Some rooms and suites have standing balconies.
The Heritage Suites look over Campo Santa Maria del Giglio, with glimpses toward the nearby canal. La Fenice Heritage Suite has an opera theme and a hand-painted harpsichord dating to 1705. Coppa Volpi Heritage Suite draws on Venice's cinema history through film photographs, Rubelli fabrics, and a Murano chandelier. Living rooms provide space for sitting and dining, and balustraded balconies open toward the campo.
The two-bedroom Redentore Terrazza Suite occupies the uppermost floor. Its 250-square-meter private rooftop terrace has a plunge pool and views over the city and southern lagoon. The outdoor space accommodates lounging and dining, making the terrace a substantial part of this particular suite. Multi-bedroom accommodation is also available for extended-family stays.
Club del Doge celebrates Venetian and Italian cooking under executive chef Alberto Fol. His approach draws on the whole Veneto region, including the mountains as well as the sea and lagoon. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served here, with separate lunch and dinner menus.
The Gritti Terrace brings dining directly to the Grand Canal in the warmer season, weather permitting. Gondolas, vaporetti, and private boats pass in front of the tables. The setting makes a long lunch part of the experience of Venice, with the restaurant's evening service bringing a more formal meal to the water's edge.
Bar Longhi is an intimate social room for classic cocktails and Venetian cicchetti, the small bites that accompany a drink. Riva Lounge extends the bar outdoors, its polished wood and stainless-steel details recalling the decks of Italian yachts. Seasonal terrace service gives aperitivo a Grand Canal setting, with the Salute church across the water.
The Gritti Epicurean School gives the hotel's cooking a practical, hands-on dimension. Small-group lessons cover Italian and Venetian recipes, and the kitchen welcomes hotel guests as well as visitors. A fresh pasta class focuses on making dough before a three-course lunch; other lessons work with a wider seasonal menu.
The half-day experience begins at Rialto's fish and vegetable market. A chef explains the produce and how to select it, followed by a stop at a traditional bacaro for cicchetti. Back at the school, participants cook a three-course meal from the market ingredients. The sequence connects the market stalls, the city's everyday food culture, and the techniques used in the kitchen.
Private Chef's Table dinners bring another use to the space, with live cooking for a gathering of family or friends. A place at the kitchen table brings guests close to the preparation, with the meal unfolding around the chef's work.
The Gritti Spa works with Sisley Paris on face and body treatments, including its Phyto-Aromatic collection. The menu encompasses facials, body scrubs, and several massage styles, with couples' appointments available. Manicures, pedicures, and other beauty services are also provided. Treatments require an appointment, and the emphasis is on individual sessions within a small spa.
Murano glass, gold-leaf mosaics by Orsoni, marble, and dark wood continue the hotel's interest in Venetian craftsmanship inside the spa. The same local craft traditions appear here in a setting dedicated to private treatments.
The spa has three treatment suites. A separate Fitness Suite provides cardio equipment for hotel guests. Babysitting can be arranged through the hotel, alongside concierge assistance with plans around the city.
The San Marco location keeps the Doge's Palace, the Basilica, and La Fenice within walking reach. Across the Grand Canal, Dorsoduro brings the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Punta della Dogana, and galleries into the same visit. These sights lie on different banks, so the route is as much a part of an outing as the distance on a map.
For the wider lagoon, the hotel's Aquariva Super speedboat, Il Doge, is available for tailored excursions. Half-day routes can explore the northern islands, taking in Murano's glassmaking, Burano's colored houses, and Torcello. Longer itineraries reach other lagoon communities or follow fishing routes toward Chioggia. The concierge coordinates the itinerary, with the boat providing access beyond the central canals. This is a separately arranged excursion, distinct from an arrival transfer.
Water taxis can reach the hotel's private pier from Venice Marco Polo Airport, Santa Lucia railway station, or Piazzale Roma. For an assisted airport arrival, the hotel can arrange a representative to meet guests at baggage claim, porter assistance, and onward transportation. This service requires advance booking; the representative does not accompany the full transfer.
Public transport is another option. The Alilaguna Orange Line connects Marco Polo's airport pier with Santa Maria del Giglio, while ACTV vaporetto line 1 serves the stop from Santa Lucia and Piazzale Roma. The hotel is approximately a two-minute walk from the landing. Follow Calle del Traghetto into Campo Santa Maria del Giglio, where the street entrance is near the Grand Canal end of the square.
Guests arriving by car leave the vehicle at Piazzale Roma and continue by water. Specially equipped motor launches with a mobile platform can be arranged for wheelchair users. The address is Campo Santa Maria del Giglio 2467.
The hotel's affiliation with Venice Golf Club gives guests preferred rates and tee times for a round away from the city.
Club del Doge's cooking draws on both lagoon and mountain ingredients, offering a broader taste of Veneto than seafood alone.
The Building Venice history session explains the city's foundations and freshwater systems, helping you understand how people made life on the lagoon possible.
