Highlights

Architecture: Three 15th-century palaces united into one hotel

Design: Interiors by Pierre Yves Rochon

Location: Facing the Venetian Lagoon near Piazza San Marco

Concierge: Access to authentic local experiences

“Hotel Danieli offers an enviable location steps from Piazza San Marco, an architecturally significant lobby, and multiple dining options including the celebrated Terrazza Danieli; the rooftop views are indeed unparalleled. However, reports of inconsistent service and dated rooms do give me pause, especially considering the price point. A drink at the bar might suffice.”

The location was great (close to many attractions). The staff was professional.

I found some aspects disappointing. When I inquired about an upgrade, I learned it would cost an additional $500 per night, which I thought was outrageous.
