From its enviable position on a corner of The Gritti Palace, The Ernest Hemingway Suite offers stunning vistas of the world-famous Grand Canal which can be admired through floor-to-ceiling French doors that open onto private stand-up balconies. During his extended stays in Venice, the great American author composed passages of Across the River and into the Trees in this suite boasting the epitome of Venetian elegance. In the spacious living room, stucco- detailed walls and ceilings are embellished with evocative Murano glass chandeliers, immaculately restored antique credenzas, and bookcases filled with objets d’art and literary works by Hemingway, while the wet bar is stocked with his favorite wines, and his club chair sits invitingly in a corner.

Featuring exquisite decorative styles from past centuries, the four Patron Canal Suites offer an unparalleled level of luxury. Décor inspiration ranges from a seventies designer apartment in New York to extravagant late-19th-century interiors, and the elegant interiors favored by Venetians in the 1700s. From the windows of each suite the non-stop bustle of the Grand Canal and the magic of Venice beckon. Suites range in size from 67 to 82 square meters and provide ample room for entertaining in the living room as well as a generous bedroom with a king-size or two twin Luxury Collection Beds. Most suites boast a separate, marble-clad powder room, an in-room bar stocked with premium label spirits, and a state-of-the-art Bang & Olufsen sound system. Further entertainment options include large televisions, which offer international channels, as well as pay-to-view movies, music and access to guest services. Individual climate control ensures guests can select their personal temperature preferences all year round. Generously sized, marble-clad bathrooms featuring twin vanities, a deep soaking tub, plus a separate shower stall with rain-effect rose, invite guests to linger. A selection of Acqua di Parma toiletries adds to the luxurious experience.
