Top 5 Venice Hotels?
 
Hi Everyone,

Assuming budget was no issue at all, what are the top 5 hotels in Venice?

Thanks in advance,
Natalie

Can only vouch for the one I stayed in -- the San Marco Palace, an all-suite hotel just off San Marco Square. It was very nice, great location, and not too expensive (because budget was an issue for us). I'd highly recommend it.

Cipriani is the best hotel in all of Venice; I have stayed here 3 times. This is where the jet set stays when in Venice

#2 Bauer/Grunwald

#3 Danieli

If you want a luxury hotel in Venice, it is really worthwhile booking through American Express Platinum or Virtuoso. (You need an AMEX Platinum card that goes for about $400 a year to book through them, but anyone can book through a Virtuoso agent).

Reason: you will get a special negotiated price and, with it, you will get amenities such as free breakfasts, upgrades on arrival if available, and other amenities that differ by property. These come to you at no extra cost as a Virtuoso guest. Feel free to email if you need more information.

There are actually nine Virtuoso hotels in Venice. One very special property is the Gritti Palace. I stayed there and enjoyed a large room overlooking the canal.

What do you think of the Gritti Palace in Venice?
