With its open-air location on the Grand Canal, the Riva Lounge is a beacon of timeless Italian elegance celebrated for its cocktail culture and peerless hospitality.

Inspired by the legendary Riva Aquarama, the graceful design mirrors the sophistication of its maritime muse.

Famed for its views, its artistic beauty and its beguiling lifestyle, Venice is also rightly renowned for its food and drink. The Gritti Palace raises the gourmet bar in the lagoon with a menu featuring some of Venice’s finest wines, cocktails and champagnes. The Riva Lounge terrace over the Grand Canal is the ideal setting for everything from early evening meet-ups to lingering late-night chats and a spot of dolce vita amid the magnificent sunset vistas of Santa Maria della Salute Basilica.
