How to Get to Hotel Danieli #

Hotel Danieli sits on Riva degli Schiavoni by Piazza San Marco in Venice. From Venezia Santa Lucia rail station take vaporetto (ACTV) Line 1 or 2 toward San Zaccaria and get off at San Zaccaria; the hotel is then a 2-3 minute walk along the waterfront. If arriving by car, park at Piazzale Roma or Tronchetto and continue by vaporetto or on foot (expect a 20-30 minute walk across bridges from Piazzale Roma).

Tips for Visiting Hotel Danieli #

  • If you're visiting the hotel for drinks or the rooftop views, reserve a table or a time slot in advance - the terrace fills quickly at sunset and during high season.
  • Arrive by water taxi when possible and use the hotel's seafront entrance on the Riva degli Schiavoni to avoid crowded pedestrian routes from St. Mark's Square and to enjoy the classic arrival experience.
  • Combine a short visit to the hotel's public areas (lobby, terrace) with nearby sights - St. Mark's Square and the Doge's Palace are a few minutes' walk, so plan timing to avoid peak tourist throngs.
