The epitome of a Grand Dame, the Gritti has been setting the benchmark in luxury hospitality in La Serenissima since 1895. Synonymous with the great literary figures of yesteryear, it was here, when still a private home, that John Ruskin wrote The Stones of Venice.
In later years, Ernest Hemingway considered the Gritti his Venetian home, whilst Somerset Maugham stated ‘…at the Gritti you are not a guest, but a friend.’ Sitting on the terrace, Bellini in hand, and watching the world go by, is one of the essential pleasures of being in Venice.
