A grand Venetian landmark on the lagoon, steps from St Mark’s Square, combining historic palazzo charm, strong views and polished Four Seasons service.
Highlights
One of the most prominent and revered hotels in Venice, just moments from St Mark's Square.
The rooftop restaurant Terrazza Danieli boasts breathtaking views and fabulous food.
Made up of three original Venetian palazzos dating back to the 14th, 19th and 20th centuries.
Fully reimagined by acclaimed designer Pierre-Yves Rochon under the Four Seasons brand.
Danieli, A Four Seasons Hotel, Venice is one of the city’s most storied addresses, perfectly placed on the Riva degli Schiavoni with the Venetian Lagoon just beyond its doors and St Mark’s Square only a short stroll away. Comprising three interconnected palaces, including the historic Palazzo Dandolo, the hotel blends centuries of heritage with the polished service Four Seasons is known for, creating a setting that feels at once theatrical and deeply refined.
The accommodation is spread across the central building and its wings, with lagoon-facing options in the original wing and generously proportioned rooms in the palazzo, offering a clear sense of place as well as variety in outlook and layout. Room categories include simpler Superior Rooms through to the signature Doge Dandolo Royal Suite, giving travellers a choice of elegant hideaways and highly exclusive accommodation. Across the hotel, guests can expect the sort of details that matter most in Venice: characterful interiors, views that frame the water or historic rooftops, and a standard of comfort suited to both romantic escapes and special-occasion stays.
Facilities are designed to match the setting, rather than overpower it. The hotel offers a restaurant, bars, 24-hour room service, and a fitness centre, while the forthcoming Four Seasons chapter will add a spa, including treatment rooms, a sauna and hammam. The reopening under Four Seasons also signals a new era for the property, with the room count planned to grow and the hotel further strengthened as one of Venice’s most prestigious stays. For guests who want a hotel that feels unmistakably Venetian, highly central, and distinctly grand, Danieli delivers that rare combination of legacy, location and luxury.
