We also thought the Aman Grand Canal is spectacularly beautiful, and even far more impressive than photos suggest. Our lunch was fantastic. But though we thought the Alcova Tiepolo Suite was a work of art, we'd never want to stay in that suite. But the Aman Venice still is the most amazing property in the city.
Gosh, that is good to hear, as every time I have stayed at The Gritti, both before and after its refurbishment, I have been horrified by the food and service. The same applies to the Cipriani, both during the Biennale and out of season.
I totally agree about Aman Canal Grande - it is by far the best in Venice, both in accommodation, food and service. The suites are not all too historic for comfort. Some are relatively minimal.
