Best Marriott International Hotels in Venice

Located along Venice's Grand Canal, The Gritti Palace is nestled in the heart of the action. Here, guests gather for meals on the famous Gritti Terrace to watch gondolas and vaporetti (water taxis) transport tourists and locals around the City of Water. Inside, luxurious touches appear everywhere: Murano glass chandeliers hang from the ceiling, Lorenzo Rubelli fabrics bedeck the accommodations, art adorns the walls and the property's original terrazzo floors, from when the palace was commissioned to be built by Doge of Venice Andrea Gritti in 1475, can be found throughout. Today, the hotel houses The Gritti Epicurean School, The Gritti SPA, the elegant Club del Doge Restaurant and 82 restored rooms and suites – 10 of which were inspired by well-known guests like Ernest Hemingway and Peggy Guggenheim. Standard rooms feature glass chandeliers, antique furniture, marble bathrooms, complimentary Wi-Fi access and incredibly comfortable bed linens, according to recent guests. Visitors were also impressed with the impeccable service, gourmet cuisine and well-equipped fitness center. And while staying at this hotel will cost you a pretty penny, Marriott Bonvoy members can earn and use points at this property.

Designed by famed Italian architect Matteo Thun, the JW Marriott Venice Resort & Spa offers visitors a private island setting about a mile south of the Venice city center. Although some former travelers were displeased with this JW Marriott outpost's removed location, getting to and from the city is easy thanks to the property's water shuttle service. And keep in mind, there are plenty of things to enjoy on-site: The hotel hosts a variety of activities and provides ample amenities, such as bicycles, a kids club with cooking classes and mask art projects, yoga lessons and excursions to local glass-blowing and lace-making facilities. When you're ready to relax, take a dip in one of three swimming pools, enjoy a spa treatment or sip on a coffee or glass of wine at Rose Bar Lounge. There are several on-site dining options as well, including a deli, a poolside restaurant and the upscale Fiola at Dopolavoro Venezia. When it's time for bed, retire to your modern room, suite or villa. Each features a neutral color palette and modern conveniences like a flat-screen TV, a coffee maker and Wi-Fi access. What's more, members of the Marriott Bonvoy program can cash in or earn points for choosing to bed down here.
