Beautiful palace on the water with a stunning reception area. I liked arriving by water taxi at the water steps of the hotel, and check in was gracious and efficient. Rooms are ornate, possibly a little overdone, but very comfortable. I had a view over the sea to San Giorgio. My only complaint is the lack of tea or coffee making facility.
The rooftop has a spectacular terrace and restaurant, where a good breakfast is served.
The entire hotel is, unfortunately, let down by the concierge team. For some reason they are the ones who keep the keys and, since they are always away from the desk / on the phone / busy with someone else, queues form for guests to get their keys (and there is definitely no ???welcome back??? when you walk in). When I asked the Head Concierge for some restaurant recommendations he was unhelpful and made it quite clear it was a waste of his time. When I then asked for gondola suggestions he grew impatient and rudely pointed to the gondolas outside the hotel.
Tip: the concierge of another hotel advised that since gondolas do not travel very far, what you see depends very much where you start: he recommended hiring one closer to Ponte Rialto so there is time to do one part of your ride on the Grand Canal and under the bridge. Would that have been so difficult for the Danieli concierge?

Very disappointed with the Hotel Danielli they refused to refund us our money for a room booked which we couldn???t use as Italy was in Covid lockdown & so was England. No refund no vouchers offered. No negotiation at all despite our best efforts, they refused to send us their terms and conditions. Absolutely terrible service.

The best place in Venice. Fullstop. If you want to sleep in a palazzo surrounded by all the grandeur of this city this is your place. The location a few 100 m from San Marco is unbeatable, the view of San Giorgio Maggiore across the sparkling water at sunset breathtaking, the lobby one of the most beautiful hotel lobbies in the world, I would say. We did not love the concierge desk though - we got a lot of attitude and not much help there. Everything else though is perfect. Surprising is the restaurant on the highest floor. It is called Terrazza Danieli. The pasta there, served with the most incredible view, is one of the best we have ever had - and we have had some incredible pasta. Don't miss to have lunch or dinner here. The restaurant staff, we remember one woman from South America especially, are very kind and attentive.
