This hotel is a True work of art
Beauty of Entryway and bar alone are worth price of admission.
Very expensive drinks.
Arrival by private wooden boat is priceless
Staff was incredibly friendly, knew us the entire time but they were fully behind the scenes and let us be.
Perfect location for touring or just exploring at any time of day. Our room was a junior suite and was as much an apartment as a hotel room. Allowed us both quite a bit of personal space to get ready, read and relax, etc.

?? Everything was absolutely perfect. From the check in to check out it was an amazing stay for us. We had a lagoon view room with balcony in the 3rd floor of the Danieli. Of course during the day it is crowded and a bit noisy, but at night it is totally silent and you just hear the water splashing against the promenade. All in all it was an unforgettable stay and we would like to say thank you to Massimo and Eduardo which are the best concierge. Special thanks as well to the restaurant team. The service was extraordinary and when we made pre orders for wine on our room etc. it was always on time and served with a smile. (Even in the middle of the Night). Again thanks a lot and we definitely will stay in the Danieli again.

We stayed at Danieli during Covid. Of course, the Palace is beautiful. But more than that, and despite the gloomy atmosphere due to the pandemia, the Staff (Head of Concierge Filippo, Head of Restaurant Lorenzo, Reception) have done far more than one could expect, spending time answering any question, advising, and all the time being so friendly. Suite 360 was abs. perfect with a view to Dodge's Palace. We recommend.

From reservation to departure, the staff and management could not be more helpful. It was a special occasion for us and they made certain it was a positive memorable experience. I have always wanted to stay at this hotel and had high expectations. I was not disillusioned.
The dining experience, the attention to detail and ambiance was excellent.
The sense of Venetian history all around us is unique. Our room and its view just completed a special staycation that ticked the boxes of what we were looking for. Utterly recommend it.
