Gritti is amazing and st Regis is brand new - pick on of those two.

St Regis is off the charts awesome
It been 10 years but when on our trip, we stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn Mestre San Giuliano, just across the bridge. There was a bus stop in front of the hotel that takes us right into Venice. Being the cheapskate, I did not want to pay Venice hotel prices. Anyway, all I can say is Venice was a great disappointment. Maybe it was because we had such high expectation. Anyway, we were there to 3 days before boarding our 9 day cruise of Eastern Mediterranean (Greek Isle). The cruise was freaking awesome, one of the best we had. Anyway, on the 3rd (because we had enough of Venice after 2 days), we took a train to Verona (on a whim due to Romeo & Juliet) and we were very surprised. Verona was so beautiful. It’s one of the few places that I would go back for a second visit.
While the St Regis is nice, it felt like it could be a St Regis anywhere and didn’t have a sense of place anymore unlike in its prior incarnation as a luxury collection property. For properties that feel local/historic, I try to stick with the soft brands like Luxury Collection and Autograph Collection. Danieli and Gritti feel more historic

Gritti charm/quintessential Venice > StR, for an occasion like that
What was your nightly rate at Gritti? I can’t find a standard room for less than 1.3k euros per night in late September
