Prestigiously located on Riva degli Schiavoni, Hotel Danieli, Venice offers guests a rare breath of the noblest Venetian atmosphere, combined with the ultimate comfort and convenience demanded by today's leisure and business travellers. A masterpiece of hospitality, the hotel was named to Condé Nast Traveler's 2007 Gold List Reserve and is proud recipient of the American Express Fine Hotels and Resorts' "2007 Partner of the Year" award. Venetian culture comes alive in the masterfully restored 14th century Palazzo Dandolo, once residence of the Doge Dandolo family. Delicately woven rugs, Murano glass chandeliers, ornately carved pink marble columns, stained glass, and high ceilings decorated with golden leaves frame the palace's majestic staircase. Once opened, the palace's intricately carved doors lead to cobblestone streets, canal views, and just steps away, Piazza San Marco, Palazzo Ducale, and the Ponte dei Sospiri. Precious decorations and beautiful antique furnishings enhance the atmosphere and luxurious comfort of our 225 guest rooms and suites, the stylish décor reflecting the city?s rich cultural heritage. Treat yourself to every luxury while here with a personalised in-room spa treatment in a truly unique setting. Refurbished in 2008 by design architect Jacques Garcia, Palazzo Danieli Excelsior is crowned by Restaurant Terrazza Danieli, a crossroads of indigenous temptations complemented by captivating panoramas of the Grand Canal and Adriatic Sea. Capture the lagoon city's breathtaking sunsets roofside prior to dinner and allow your imagination to wander to gothic times.

This is a famous hotel I have seen many times on TV after staying there. If you want to make your Venice experience THE experience of a lifetime, stay at the Danieli. Most tourists stay off the island which makes "going back to the room' impossible. The ambiance and architecture is simply GRAND. You know that you are at one of the prime hotels in the world and obviously its part of the Starwood Luxury Collection. The price is steep, but you only need a couple of days to see Venice alone.
I really enjoyed the location of your hotel but i felt that it could have been much cleaner and better kept for have been givin a four star rating and for the price but for the most part i enjoyed my stay and i plan on coming back to visit venice...

Horrible
This is supposed to be a Starwood Luxury Property and I think it's 5 star rating should be re-eavaluated. Our room had stains on the furniture & carpet and the walls were in dire need of paint. The hotel staff was aloof and unhelpful until we...
