Our Story
The Gritti Palace, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Venice
From the dawn of the Modern Era
Our Past
A little over a century ago, the era of steamships and trains let explorers travel with ease for the first time. One popular destination was Venice, at the heart of the Mediterranean and a crossroads between East and West.
The unique appeal of Venice is why, in 1906, the Compagnia Italiana Grandi Alberghi (CIGA) was founded as a hotel brand accommodating travelers to this storied destination. We trace our heritage back to CIGA, which became The Luxury Collection brand in 1994.
