The white Renaissance facade of Palazzo Papadopoli with its two obelisks, its garden wall and gondolas moored on the Grand Canal
Palazzo Papadopoli, Venice

The answer

Worth it for one night if you want a private house: a garden on the canal, frescoed rooms, no lobby. Not worth it as a better Gritti: it costs more, and the guests who paid liked it less. If your reason is the view and the bar, stay at the Gritti.

A 16th-century palazzo on the Grand Canal. Is it worth more than the Gritti?

worth importing is an independent magazine · About

When to skip it

Not if you are comparing on the nightly price, or want the terrace-on-the-canal picture, which is the Gritti's. Not if Venice is new to you: the same money buys a longer stay elsewhere and the time to enjoy it.

Questions people ask

What to know

  • The house is the 16th-century Palazzo Papadopoli on the Grand Canal.
  • Very few gardens in Venice look over the Grand Canal, and this is one of them.1
  • The rooms in the Rooms category start at 47 square metres.2
  • The Alcova Tiepolo Suite keeps Tiepolo’s original frescoes.

What the price buys

Read the current figures on Trip.com's own page before you book.

The people who paid are not sure. They rate the Gritti higher, and some on the Aman's page wish for a bigger room, better upkeep or clearer charges.

If your dates can move, take a rate you can cancel; read the cancellation line before you pay.

What the extra buys

The extra buys space, so check the size of the Gritti's entry room on its own page before you compare.

There is a garden on the canal, and the frescoes are the original ones.

What to watch for

  • Some guests found the room small for the price. Ask for it by name and size when you book.
  • Some guests write of charges they did not expect, the hotel's water taxi to the pier among them. Get every charge in writing before you arrive.
  • In a house this small, a slip is felt straight away. Read the latest reviews on the booking page before you pay.

The cheaper way

The Gritti is enough whenever the reason for the night is Venice rather than the house: the canal, the Salute across the water, the terrace, the walk to the Piazza.

The Aman is better only if you will stay in, eat in the garden, and want a palazzo rather than a hotel.

If that is you, read the room by name and size on Trip.com.

FAQ

What did one night at the Aman cost?
Your night costs what Trip.com shows you.
Is there a minimum age?
Read the age rule on the booking page before you book for children.
Can I arrive by water taxi?
Ask the hotel when you book how a water taxi brings you to the door, and what its own boat to the pier costs. A public water taxi is a different price.
