Hotel Danieli

Venice


As eccentric and luxurious as Venice itself, the Danieli has attracted bohemians, minor royalty and their millionaire lovers for more than a century. The hotel sprawls through three landmark buildings: the frescoed, antique-filled 14th-century casa vecchia (old house), built for Doge Enrico Dandolo; the 18th-century gilt-to-the-hilt casa nuova (new house); and the Danielino, a Fascist edifice with a modern-luxe interior redesign.
