Hotel Danieli
Composed of three 14th century palaces and once the residence of the Doge Dandolo family, the Hotel Danieli is a beautifully restored Venetian heirloom. Seconds from St Marks Square on the Riva degli Schiavoni, the residence exudes old world charm and decadence with elaborately carved pink marble columns, stained glass windows and Murano glass chandeliers.
This antique splendour also characterises the hotel's 206 guestrooms and 19 suites. Venetian, Gothic and Baroque architecture is complimented by plush red drapes, high gilt-edged ceilings and opulent marble bathrooms. For a taste of rich Venetian heritage book a Historical Suite and marvel at original parquet flooring, antique Murano mirrors and invaluable paintings. Expect divine chocolates on plump pillows, fresh-cut flowers in rooms and champagne on arrival.
Head to the rooftop for elegant fine dining at the Restaurant Terrazza Danieli, or enjoy canapes and cocktails at the bar as the sun sets over Venice Lagoon. Linger over a morning espresso at the Bar Dandolo, located in a grand Gothic Hall of the Palazzo Dandolo.
The Hotel Danieli's privileged position in the heart of Venice is ideal for exploring this floating museum city. St Marks Bell Tower and the Bridge of Sighs are a short walk from the hotel doorstep, as are many of Venice's palaces, galleries and museums. Visit the Arsenale, Venice's ancient shipyards or peruse the bustling markets of Rialto. Relax with an in-room spa treatment or simply cruise the Grand Canal and watch the world go by.
15 minutes from Marco Polo Airport by car.
