Hotel Danieli
Opulent Venetian digs on the lagoon waterfront


Its history richly woven into the fabric of this most unique of cities, Hotel Danieli evokes Venetian tradition – a veritable palace of ornate marble, gilt carvings and intricate Renaissance woodwork. Amongst its 210 suites and rooms, the three Pierre-Yves Rochon-designed Signature Suites stand apart. Inspired by dames of cinema Greta Garbo, Maria Callas and Grace Kelly – all previous guests – a distinctly feminine allure is evident – think Rubelli fabrics, Murano lamps and elegant marble baths. Looking across the water to San Giorgio Maggiore, the Terrace bar and restaurants offer romantic views of the Serenissima.
