The Danieli promises convenience, comfort and atmosphere, and they aren’t far wrong. The views are breathtaking and the location simply cannot be beaten. There’s a reason the Danieli was chosen as the location for large parts of The Tourist, as well as being the hotel of choice for Dickens, Byron, Goethe and Steven Spielberg. It’s all elegant columns and old style wooden floors, brining to life the Venice that exists in the minds of most.
