Pros: Loved the location, the decor, the history of this grand palace once belonging to Andrea Gritti, Duke of Venice in the 1300's... but with electricity and top notch food and drinks! The beds were comfortable, the baths luxurious, 1st class amenities, quiet and peaceful, but close to all of the action. Staff was extremely helpful and personable. Loved the Riva Experience, would do it all over again!! wished we could've spent more time here... 3 days is NOT long enough.

Pros: The rooms are beautiful, good size, well equipped and decorated. Amazing private pier to come/leave from with a private transfer, movie like! The service and attention were all top notch. A very intimate feel!
Cons: The bar and terrace being opened to everyone it is quite full and we were not able to enjoy it (not even have a table). As guests of the hotel we found that this was very disappointing, especially when we pay such a price. We felt that compared to the Danieli not enough attention were given to the hallways and corridors in terms of decoration and furnishing (this being said the rooms at the Gritty are way better). All the above is mentioned in regards to a very hefty price, you expect the very best for it (it is an amazing hotel taking this out of consideration).
