elegance, we like to think of The Eden as quietly elegant. Common areas are dominated by a
black (wrought iron) and white (marble and architectural woodwork painted white) color
scheme, while guestrooms are richly appointed. The restaurant, La Terraza, and bar on the 6th
floor offer what has been described as one of the best “panoromantic” views in the city. We
agree. The Eden is affiliated with the Leading Hotels of the World consortium.

VENICE – The Gritti Palace: The Gritti Palace has long been one of Venice's most famous
addresses. A former Renaissance palace
that dates back to the 16th Century, it re-
opened in 2013 after an extensive
renovation, and now represents
aristocratic Venetian living at its best,
complete with hand-blown chandeliers,
sumptuous textiles, and sweeping canal
views. The Grande dame's history goes
back to 1525, when it was built as the
private residence of the prominent Gritti
family; later, it housed a roster of nobles
and notables, including Vatican
ambassadors. The Palace was turned into
a hotel in the early-19th century and
though extensive renovations have been
done over the centuries, guests still appreciate original architectural details like wooden ceilings
and patterned flooring in the common areas, and—depending on the room category—flourishes
like 18th-century Murano wall lamps, silk damask Rubelli fabrics and traditional Venetian
stucco. The 82 distinctive and spacious guest rooms are detailed with Murano Glass chandeliers,
chatoyant draperies, marble tiles and original, gold-trimmed ceilings. Enjoy Chef Daniele
Turco's locally influenced menus at one of the Grand Canal-view restaurants, or avail yourself of
the treatments offered at the Acqua di Parma Spa. http://www.thegrittipalace.com/
