[ENG] - After an historical restoration The Gritti Palace has renewed its iconic elegance. For this truly charming palace the restoration involved local partners at all levels in order to preserve the authentic elegance and distinct personality of this legendary building, while updating it with the comforts of the XXI century. Facing the majestic Santa Maria della Salute and steps from Piazza San Marco and La Fenice Theatre, The Gritti Palace was transformed into its current Gothic shape by the Pisani family in 1475 and became the private residence of the Doge of Venice, Andrea Gritti, in 1525. In the centuries that followed, it was home to other noble families and illustrious visitors before being converted into a luxury hotel in 1895. The design of the hotel’s restored interiors was inspired by its historical role as a private residence, a centre for celebration and a patron of the art. With exquisite interior design by Donghia Associates, the protected landmark building’s architectural restorations were led by Venice Plan Ingegneria Srl, with the Regional Board of the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Environmental Conservation of Venice and Lagoon. The finest architects and local artisans were engaged to painstakingly restore the prestigious hotel, also to protect the building during high tides and to include environmentally-friendly measures. Following the complete restoration, The Gritti Palace features 61 guest rooms and 21 suites, including those with impressive canal view. The interior design is inspired by renowned personalities, such as Ernest Hemingway, Somerset Maugham and Peggy Guggenheim or references to emblematic locations such as Punta della Dogana which represents the cultural and artistic roots of Venice and of The Gritti Palace. The sumptuous two-story Redentore Terrazza Suite has a spacious bedroom, a living room with dining area and a spectacular rooftop terrace measuring 250 square meters, featuring a Faraway by Kos SPA pool, relaxed entertaining spaces and extraordinary panoramic views of the lagoon and the city. [ITA] - Dopo un restauro storico il Gritti Palace ha rinnovato la sua iconica eleganza. In un palazzo dal fascino particolare il restauro ha coinvolto partner locali a tutti i livelli per preservare l'autentica eleganza e la distinta personalità di questo leggendario edificio, pur aggiornandolo con i comfort del XXI secolo. Collocato davanti alla maestosa basilica di Santa Maria della Salute, a pochi passi da Piazza San Marco e da La Fenice, il Gritti Palace deve il suo attuale aspetto architettonico di edificio gotico all'opera realizzata dalla famiglia Pisani nel 1475. Nel 1525 divenne la residenza privata del Doge di Venezia Andrea Gritti e nei secoli seguenti fu casa d'elezione per molte famiglie nobili e visitatori illustri, prima di venire convertito in hotel nel 1895. Il design dell'hotel è tuttora ispirato alla sua storica atmosfera di residenza privata e di luogo dedicato alla celebrazione ed alla salvaguardia dell'Arte. Il rinnovamento architettonico dello storico edificio, vincolato dal Ministero dei Beni Culturali, è stato gestito dalla Venice Plan Ingegneria Srl, con la preziosa supervisione della Soprintendenza ai Beni Architettonici e Paesaggistici di Venezia e Laguna, in collaborazione con lo studio di interior design Donghia Associates. I migliori architetti ed artigiani locali, hanno restaurato scrupolosamente ogni particolare, fornendo la struttura dei più avanzati impianti anche per proteggere l'edificio durante il fenomeno dell'acqua alta e ricorrendo a molte soluzioni eco-friendly.
