The Rates at The Gritti Palace, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Venice

"The 15th-century Gritti, decorated with Murano-glass chandeliers and 16th-century damask furnishings, is perhaps the most legendary Venetian hotel and has a price tag to match"

"Starwood’s Luxury Collection pulled out all the stops to renovate Venice’s legendary hotel on the Grand Canal, with an estimated price tag of $55 million"

"This 15th-century palazzo occupies one of the loveliest spots on the Grand Canal, looking across to the magnificent Salute church, and has equally sumptuous interiors to match, with priceless antiques and frescoes, and a small but exquisite spa"

"Famed designer Chuck Chewning helped bring the 15th-century palazzo’s storied past to life with a creative repurposing of the space’s valued artwork, vast collection of antiques and hand-carved details that were left to collect dust"
