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

Fodor's "At this late-16th-century palazzo, you can experience gracious hospitality, a luxurious atmosphere, and unusually spacious guest rooms." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The garden is the first thing that strikes you on arriving at this beautifully restored palazzo."
Rough Guide "This gorgeous residenza d’epoca is a meticulously restored palazzo behind the church of Santa Sofia."
Time Out "A beautiful shady walled garden is laid out in front of this privately owned 16th-century palazzo." Full review
Travel + Leisure "In a 16th-century palazzo behind the Ca' d'Oro, it's every bit as fancy as the Grand Canal hotels, but thanks to its location, on a secondary canal, costs less." Full review
