Gabrielli Sandwirth

"Stayed in large one bedroom apt for our stay in Venice. Well appointed, including fridge and washing machine. Excellent staff, including Nicola who helped us with our plans. Roof terrace bar / restaurant top notch with scenic view. Enjoyed two balmy nights watching boats and gondolas go by from that vantage point!!"

"This hotel was a superlative experience in every way. Starting with the location which offers amazing views, it is a 30 second walk from the vaporetto stop (Arsenale) and yet it is away from the truly maddening crowds of other hotels on the Grand Canal. Yet a 5 minute walk to the Biennale. I have stayed in many of the other Grand Hotels on other trips to Venice and was put off by the heavy dark woods and the dark colors. Fresh off a 5 year renovation, this hotel is decorated in modern shades of celadon and gray creating a soothing fresh welcoming interior. This was complemented by the large bathrooms and the American level air conditioning which did not stop during the night (We visited during the big August heat wave). It has a wonderful quiet walled garden in which to relax and have light bite. This is complemented by a rooftop bar for sunset aperitifs. The breakfast buffet was on par with the best in Italy with multiple farm to table options and hot entrees made to order. The same was true of the cocktails- local spirits and creative cocktails reflecting the seasons and the heritage of the city. Carlotta from the front desk who welcomed us was representative of all of the staff who knew us by name after the first 24 hours. We spent 4 nights here and were truly sorry to leave. We cannot recommend it highly enough and look forward to returning."

"5 star hotel with an experience to match. Arrived late from a time zone far away, check in was smooth, they even accomodated a late night snack + beverage. Amazing concierge service- Federico @ the front desk arranged a wonderful local guide named Enrico that made for an unforgettable experience. We did a tour by boat and then walked the city to a museum and finished with a delicious meal. Hotel Gabrielli has great walkability and was a great place to call home for the week. Will be back, thanks again!"
