    Walking entrance to the Aqua Palace Hotel - Venezia, Italy
    Michael S.

    Life is good. Life in Venice is better. Few experiences rival opening your bedroom window directly above a peaceful canal on a quiet morning in Venice, Italy. It's calming and cool at the same time ... and was a daily indulgence at the boutique Aqua Palace hotel in a tranquil neighborhood between Ponte di Rialto and Piazza San Marco. Our large guest room with king-size bed (and modern bathroom) had two windows that opened for fresh Venetian breezes and views. I spent a personal-record amount of time on different days just leaning out the window while waving and shouting greetings at pedestrians on nearby bridges and gondolas passing under them. There were a lot of positives with Aqua Palace beyond its location including friendly service at the registration desk, morning buffet breakfast, or housekeeping. The breakfast area wasn't large nor does it need to be, but I was pleasantly surprised by the variety and quality of the food. Of course, the biggest wow factor for Aqua Palace is being directly on a canal and wonderfully positioned to walk or ride to landmarks throughout Venezia. One major flaw to our stay was that the winter 2019 floods had knocked out WiFi to the guest rooms. Luckily, we had fairly decent cellular reception which still allowed us to be connected. The room was a little "dusty" and a "makeover" wouldn't hurt, but neither distracted us enough from an inspirational life experience in Venice at the Aqua Palace hotel.

    A wonderful hotel with canal views and easy walk to San Marco square and the Rialto bridge. You will soon find everything revolves around these 2 landmarks so it's nicely situated in a quiet area between them. My room with a canal view was worth was just lovely. Large rooms and bathroom with comfortable bedding. Complimentary breakfast is what you would expect and perfectly reasonable (eggs, meats, cheeses, breads, fruit yogurt etc). The staff was very helpful making reservations to restaurants and our train ticket to our next stop especially Gabriel and the woman who did the breakfast. The location was perfectly located in a quiet corridor yet walkable to everything.

    I wish I had a better photo to show how large the room was.

First, the staff is excellent and bend over backwards to help and provide what ever you need. I arrived via train after dark and the hotel helped get a water taxi to help pick me up at the train station. I stained a jacket somehow and the staff bent over backwards to try to remove it. They did a great job. The restaurant and the 2 bars are superb. Go to the bar that is not next to restaurant and get a specialty drink. When we were there they were offering Negronis with calvados to reflect a Salvador Dali painting that is in the Guggenheim. I want to give a shout out to Alberto at the Concierge desk who helped me numerous times, including with my stained jacket. A top notch experience.

Walking distance from everything you want in Venice. They gave us a free bottle of Bellini when we checked in. Great breakfast buffet right on the water, that was included with our room for being Marriott elite members. This has to be one of the nicest best hotels in Venice. The only somewhat downside is that because this is such a nice hotel, room service and the food options at the hotel are completely overpriced. But that's the case almost everything in Venice from what we saw. If there was some more reasonable food and beverage options at this hotel i would have given it 5 stars

When we arrived, we were shown to the room immediately after a brief introduction to the hotel and city. We were offered any advice we needed as well as access to concierge services gratis. The staff was welcoming and friendly as well. It's very comfortable. The room decor was elegant and the bed was wonderful after a long trip. Coffee and a welcome bottle of Prosecco were also waiting for us. The view is really, truly right on the canal. It's fantastic but surprisingly quiet at night, likely due to the excellent windows We took the water taxi to the San Marco Square then walked back and it was about a 30 minute walk with beautiful shops and restaurants almost the entire way. Final note, the breakfast was a very good value with a diverse selection and excellent coffee. We recommend this hotel wholeheartedly.

The view is beautiful, and the terrace offers the perfect, outdoor, upscale, Venetian ambiance. We started with the garden tomato salad, which was good. The pasta with lobster was very fresh, delicious, perfectly cooked and seasoned. The sea bass was also very fresh, and gently seasoned to accentuate the freshness of the fish. It was delectable. The veal Milanese was good. The server's recommendation of wine was "spot on" and beautifully suited for our meal. Dining at the Gritti Palace Terrace is A MUST when you are in Venice. Is this restaurant pricey, YES, but the impeccable service, delicious food and unsurpassed view make it worth every euro!

The entire hotel and restaurant are beautifully designed, with an atmosphere that feels both luxurious and welcoming. I also had the vegetarian pasta, and it was phenomenal. Cooked perfectly al dente.. just flawless. And the views? Stunning. This place is absolutely the spot for a memorable lunch.

At the time I was Starwood Platinum, and I booked a King room with a view of the canal. As we checked in - after the train ride from Milan, the long water Vaporetto ride, and the cold walk from the square - the staff was quite friendly as they informed us ... I had been upgraded to a suite with a terrace on the top floor! Right across the canal from the room was the Basilica, with the Lagoon behind it and Lido off in the distance. The furnature was pure classical period style and the terrace was larger than my next room in Munich. Unfortunately it was February so the Terrace was of little use and some of the hotel facilities were not open. But it was fabulous anyway. Now, my stay may not be typical, not everyone gets upgraded to a $2,500/night hotel room. The location is great - easy walking to just about any part of Venezia. The staff was friendly and helpful. Not sure about wifi and connectivity - when we were in the room we weren't surfing the internet.
