This iconic 15th century landmark has recently completed a thorough but very sympathetic restoration that has enabled the hotel to introduce the latest 21st century technology without compromising its traditional style and warm hospitality.
The property reopened in February 2013 with an Acqua di Parma spa and remains the perfect place for those who seek exceptional service combined with a relaxed atmosphere. Its location is outstanding, overlooking the Grand Canal, just 10 minutes’ walk from St. Mark’s Square. The Gritti’s comfortable lounges are decorated in the Grand Venetian style and have all been beautifully restored, as have the gastronomic restaurant ‘Club de Doge’ and atmospheric ‘Bar De Longhi’ with their Grand Canal terraces. The 61 bedrooms and 21 suites are now the most sumptuous in the city – do please ask us to quote for a Grand Canal view if you are celebrating a special occasion.

The stunning 'Palazzo Ducale' was the residence of the Doges and is the richest symbol of Venetian cultural, military, political and economic history. The tickets will allow you to avoid the lengthy queues and gain access to the Museo Correr and the National Archaelogical Museum. If you have visited the Doge's Palace before, we would be delighted to provide tickets to the Guggenheim or Accademia Galleries instead.

So you can only imagine how thrilled I was when I had the opportunity to visit Florence and Venice, with a journey on the Orient Express back to London to crown the experience. I still…
View DetailsWhen I found out that I would have the opportunity to travel on the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express and then get the chance to stay at both the Cipriani and Villa San Michele I was understandably very excited and had very high expectations. I can now unquestionably say that I was not disappointed! The journey started on the charming British Pullman with its characterful carriages where a leisurely…
