Welcome

Three palaces on the lagoon

Danieli, Venezia, A Four Seasons Hotel occupies three connected palaces on the Venice waterfront, with 120 rooms and suites, a rooftop terrace restaurant and noble floor salons for wedding celebrations.

The Danieli is made up of three interconnecting palaces dating from the 15th, 19th and 20th centuries. Palazzo Dandolo was built in the late 1400s as a private home for the Doge Enrico Dandolo, and it became a hotel in 1822. Palazzo Casa Nuova, once the city's treasury, joined it in 1855, and the Excelsior wing followed in 1950.
