Hotel Review - JR Suite, Gritti Palace - Bonvoy - Venice Italy September 28, 2022

This is a 5 Star LUXURY Hotel
Overlooking the Grand Canal in the heart of Venice, The Gritti Palace boasts one of the most enthralling views of the lagoon city - from the island of San Giorgio Maggiore past landmarks Punta della Dogana and Santa Maria della Salute Basilica to the Peggy Guggenheim Collection. Dating to 1475, this noble palace and luxury hotel is a place of exceptional art and elegance that has retained its reassuringly intimate and familiar feel of a private residence. A historical treasure where heritage and culture blend with renewed Venetian style, the hotel is a refined version of its iconic self, offering attentive service, a delectable culinary experience and new avenues for relaxation and pleasure. From the design of its signature suites and iconic terraces to the Gritti Epicurean School, Riva Yacht experiences and Riva Lounge and the Gritti Spa branded by Sisley Paris, The Gritti Palace is where multiple generations of elite global influencers gather to explore, taste and celebrate.
I loved this Hotel room and this hotel. Th e rooms are very elegant and adult feeling. There are handblown glass sconces in the rooms and wall murals that exude luxury and Italy. If I were magically transported to my room I would KNOW I was in Italy and for that I loved it even more as it was just phenomenal. It is pricey and definitely a special place. Note that the Suite was a lovely size however the bathrooms was still quite small as this building is from the 1400's!! I can only hope our travels bring us back here to this incredible gem located right on the canal. This and the St Regis Venice really rival for service and elegance.
