PB hotel design editorial

Built in 1525 as the private residence of Andrea Gritti, Doge of Venice, the Gothic-Renaissance palazzo on the Grand Canal has carried the weight of Venetian power ever since — Somerset Maugham drank here, Hemingway wrote here, and the Hotel Gritti Palace has held its place among Europe's most historically saturated addresses across five centuries of continuous occupation. The building's terracotta brick facade, with its distinctive pointed Gothic arches rising across four floors, faces directly onto the canal with the kind of unmediated waterfront presence that no amount of contemporary hotel engineering can manufacture from scratch. A 2013 restoration overseen by the Wtc Design Group returned 82 rooms and suites to a condition that honors the palazzo's accumulated decorative history rather than rationalizing it away. Each room follows its own logic: one suite unfolds in blush stucco with gilded cartouches, a Louis XV bed frame upholstered in floral fabric, and a foxed Venetian mirror catching canal light through full-height French doors; another works a cooler palette of slate-blue velvet, tufted headboard with nailhead trim, and an antique kilim anchoring the parquet floor beneath a Murano glass chandelier. The bar, lined in verde antico marble panels and etched antique mirror, its terrazzo floor inlaid with mosaic medallions, carries the atmosphere of a patrician salon that has absorbed decades of very good conversation. The floating terrace — teak-decked, banked with pink geraniums — extends the palazzo directly onto the water.

"My family and I absolutely loved our stay at The Gritti Palace. OMG, what a hotel! From the moment we arrived, everything felt special. The hotel is stunning, the service was incredible, and the location could not be better. I was honestly so sad to leave! PROS * The staff & service: Absolutely amazing. Everyone was warm, attentive, and welcoming. The level of service was exactly what you expect from a hotel of this caliber. * The décor: WOW! The entire hotel is breathtaking. There is so much history, character, and Venetian charm. It truly feels like you are staying in a palace. * Breakfast: Outstanding. The selection and quality were excellent, and it was such a beautiful way to start each morning. * Location: THE BEST! Right on the Grand Canal and perfectly located for exploring Venice. We loved being able to walk everywhere. * Overall experience: Everything about our stay felt luxurious and special. This is one of those hotels that really adds to the experience of visiting the city. CONS * Breakfast starts at 7:30 AM: This is honestly the only negative I can come up with! I wish breakfast started a little earlier, especially for mornings when you have early tours or plans. We’ve been fortunate to stay at many beautiful luxury hotels, and The Gritti Palace is truly special. I have almost nothing negative to say about our experience. I’m actually sad leaving and wish we had stayed longer. We absolutely cannot wait to come back!"

"We love this hotel and have stayed there several times. In a quiet little piazza just a short 5 minute walk to St Marks Square. Rooms are 3 star but views, service and restaurant are 4 stars. Breakfasts are excellent, hotel staff is very helpful, rooms are quiet and clean."
