Hotel Danieli is a historic luxury hotel in Venice, Italy, occupying a complex of palaces on the Riva degli Schiavoni directly beside Piazza San Marco. The property is housed primarily in a Venetian Gothic palazzo dating to the late medieval period.

Guests and visitors note the hotel’s period interiors, public rooms and rooftop terrace that look out over the lagoon and San Marco Basin. The building’s façade and internal layout reflect its origin as a series of noble palaces adapted to hotel use.

Its location provides immediate access to St. Mark’s Square, the Doge’s Palace area and the principal waterfront promenade, making it a longstanding landmark in Venice’s historic core.

• Location and building age: Housed in a converted 14th-century palace complex on the edge of Piazza San Marco, the hotel occupies a prime waterfront location in central Venice.

What to See#

• Palazzo Dandolo: Palazzo Dandolo is the historic waterfront palace that forms the core of the hotel complex and faces the lagoon and Riva degli Schiavoni, adjacent to St. Mark’s Square.
• Views and public rooms: The hotel’s rooftop terrace and public rooms overlook St. Mark’s Basin and are prominent viewpoints for lagoon and cityscape views.

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).

• 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.
