Danieli, A Four Seasons Hotel, Venice | Italy

Venice, Italy
Independent

Aurelle Curator's Verdict

The Danieli is a masterpiece for the historical romantic who demands the polish of a contemporary Four Seasons renovation within the walls of a 14th-century palazzo ([Four Seasons](https://www.fourseasons.com/venice/)). Those who prefer modern minimalism or the seclusion of a private island should look elsewhere, as this is an unapologetically central landmark steps from the energy of St. Mark’s Square ([AFAR](https://www.afar.com/places/hotel-danieli)). The signature experience is a sunset lagoon crossing on a traditional Bragozzo fisherman's boat, followed by an aperitivo on the iconic Terrazza Danieli ([PR Newswire](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/now-accepting-reservations-danieli-a-four-seasons-hotel-venice-ushers-in-a-new-chapter-of-timeless-grandeur-302672088.html)).
