Frommer's "This is an excellent slice of old Venice at a fraction of the usual Venice cost. It's just a block up from the priciest real estate of the Riva degli Schiavoni, but you'd never know it." Full review
Lonely Planet "The real luxury is the classic Venetian salone (great room) garlanded with 18th-century stucco, where breakfast is served and cushy chairs make for rainy-day cosiness." Full review
DK Eyewitness "La Residenza started life as a 14th-century palazzo built in the Venetian Gothic style. Restored in 2001, the bedrooms are now elegant and comfortable with period furnishings."
Rough Guide "This fourteenth-century palazzo is a low-budget gem (in Venetian terms), occupying much of one side of a quiet square just off the main waterfront."
Time Out "Occupying the first and second floors of a grand if rather faded Gothic palazzo, La Residenza possesses a genteel old-fashioned air and offers great value for money." Full review
Fodor's "Most rooms at this renovated Gothic-Byzantine palazzo are spacious and elegant, with imitation period furnishings and 18th-century paintings as well as modern amenities." Full review

Frommer's "If you're going for luxury status and the classiest hotel on the Grand Canal, the Gritti has been it for decades." Full review
Concierge "Built on the Grand Canal in 1525 for then-doge Andrea Gritti, this magnificent palazzo has lost none of its pomp and ceremony."
Insight Guides "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."
Fodor's "The Gritti Palace represents aristocratic Venetian living at its best, complete with hand-blown chandeliers, sumptuous textiles, and sweeping canal views." Full review
