The Hotel Gritti Palace continues to attract elite guests, with luxuriously appointed rooms, attentive service, and the savoury cuisine of the Restaurant Club del Doge.

"The Gritti Palace overall was a great experience. The only problem experienced was the lack of air conditioning. We had two suites neither of which had adequate air conditioning. The room had a wonderful view. "
