Palazzina Grassi in Venice

Very bright and modern! Beautiful and cozy!

A very nice hotel, with unique features and a good location.

Falling in Love with Venice at the Palazzina Grassi.

This review is long overdue for our amazing holiday at this beautiful hotel on the iconic Grand Canal back in late April 2025.

Our stay got off to a spectacular start. We had arrived from Las Vegas in the late afternoon by private water taxi from the airport and entered the hotel through the Grand Canal entrance. Unlike a usual hotel where one goes to check-in at the front desk, we were asked to relax in the bar’s restaurant while our bags were whisked away and the check-in was completed by the helpful staff. While waiting, we were offered a welcome cocktail by Michel who came back with an iconic Aperol Spritz and a Rossini each with a fresh lemon foam. They were amazing and my wife will now only have the spritz if it’s made the way Michel made it.

And that was just the beginning of our four night stay…the amuse-bouche so to speak. Everything else from there was equally spectacular including the room (we were graciously upgraded to a Deluxe room with a serene private terrace on the second floor), the amazing breakfasts, the helpful tips for restaurant reservations, and the amazing hotel-arranged private gondola ride direct from the hotel’s Grand Canal dock…what an unforgettable experience.

This was mine and my wife’s first time in Venice as a couple and the Palazzina Grassi made every moment so special. From the exquisitely elegant Philippe Starck decor to the amazing food, central location and fantastic staff, it all made for a wonderful experience and one we hope to replicate in June of 2026 as we have booked a return trip to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary here. La dolce vita and the Palazzina Grassi beckons ❤️

Just spent 5 nights in this hotel and we absolutely loved it. The only reason(s) for the 4 star instead of 5 were unstable (cycling from warm to very hot for the duration of the shower) water temperatures in the shower and an overall lack of storage for clothing/luggage. Beyond those small issues, the hotel is gorgeous. The staff was friendly and attentive. Food and drinks were amazing. Hotel location is very central to many attractions and restaurants. The also have a private boat dock and are located right next to a main water taxi pickup and drop off. If I ever get a chance to return to Venice, this is where I’ll stay.

great hotel. The location was fabulous and the staff were very welcoming and gracious

I must admit I am a hotel snob when I travel. The hotel is as much of the total experience as the places I visit. From the moment I booked to arrival and departure the experience was top notch! The hotel staff are the best in the business, I have never felt so taken care of and I have stayed in many 5 star hotels all over the world. We arrived to warm greetings and immediately were checked in and taken to our petite but absolutely luxurious rooms!! Each morning we were greeted by our names and served the most wonderful breakfast and each night we spent hours at the bar with two amazing bartenders who mixed some of the best old fashions and aperol spritz we have ever had. The front desk staff booked water taxi services for us which arrived at the hotel dock and seamlessly took us where we needed to go. I absolutely cannot describe how wonderful our stay was in such a short review. We will be back.

It was beautifully decorated, unique and the staff was excellent.

The property is stunning but the staff is what sets this hotel above all the rest. From pre-arrival to check out the staff was over the top! I can’t say enough about the service. Can’t wait for my next visit to this fabulous property.

It was a wonderful property. Easy to get to by water taxi or by water bus. Very friendly staff and concierge. Very clean rooms and close proximity (walking) to almost anything you need! Highly recommend

The hotel is beautiful but the staff was fabulous! Many thanks for all your help!
