Frommer's "You won't get a more choice location: right on the Grand Canal, across from Harry's Bar, 1 long block from St. Mark's Square." Full review
Concierge "The Benetton family acquired this 99-room hotel eight years ago and have since incorporated three adjacent buildings."
Insight Guides "Revamped with a contemporary twist: a glass-roofed lobby now forms part of the Ridotto, a private casino that was once the haunt of Casanova."
Lonely Planet "Venice’s favourite ridotto (gaming hall) circa 1648 is now a solid bet for a glamorous stay along the Grand Canal." Full review
Travel + Leisure "17th-century pedigreed palazzo at the mouth of the Grand Canal, with sweeping views of San Giorgio Island. Articles Hotel Couture from Christian Lacroix." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Incorporating the carefully restored Ridotto theatre, this elegant hotel also has a renowned restaurant on the Grand Canal."
Rough Guide "The ground-floor rooms on the waterfront side of this famous and gorgeous four-star hotel look over to the Salute and are kitted out in traditional Venetian style."
Condé Nast Traveler "The Benetton family acquired this 100-room Venice hotel in the 1990s, and have since incorporated three adjacent buildings." Full review
Time Out "The lobby and bar area is a fussy mix of classic and modern, the rooms in the main building are untouched by the design revolution, while those on the Grand Canal are ultra-traditional Venetian." Full review
Star Service "Situated in a sensational location one narrow cobblestoned path south of Piazza San Marco, cantilevered over the Grand Canal, this is one of the larger, more popular hotels here." Full review

Rough Guide "This extremely plush four-star residenza, a few metres upstream of the Rialto Bridge, is one of the best small hotels in the city."
Time Out "In a 16th-century palazzo on the Grand Canal, with views over the Rialto bridge, Al Ponte Antico's exquisite little balcony overlooks the water, as do some doubles and suites." Full review

Frommer's "Yes it’s expensive, but this is one of the most exclusive hotels in Venice, steps from the Rialto Bridge, with a private wharf on the Grand Canal—to indulge your James Bond fantasy, look no further" Full review
