Absolutely amazing 5 Star hotel on the Grand Canal overlooking St George's Island. The Hotel Danieli is part of the Starwood chain... it consists of 3 buildings on the Grand Canal which are all connected via 2nd floor hallways. The main building is a 14th Century restored Palace lavishly appointed with pink and grey marble. Service was outstanding!
The Hotel Danieli is conveniently located a few hundred meters from St Marks Square, its right next to the Bridge of Sighs, it has a waterbus stop directly infront of it, 100 meters from the airport Ali Laguna stop and its own private water taxi dock. No matter how you decide to come to the hotel you won't have to lug your baggage through the maze of streets and up and down bridges like so many other tourists in Venice.
The danieli is one of the most famous 5 star hotels in Venice. Close to Piazza San Marco and the Basilica of St Marks. ideal location with amazing views. Like many such luxury hotels in venice, very expensive. But I think if you are going to go to venice then make the trip worthwhile and stay somewhere luxurious and special. I would prefer to stay in a cheap hotel elsewhere and save the money to stay at something special in Venice. The rooms are quite small, ours was anyway. We could only stay 2 nights as they were fully booked for the other night we wanted. Although expensive we managed to get what we discovered was a 'very good' deal !
Superb decor and a real feel of staying somewhere special in Venice.
