Danieli, Venezia, A Four Seasons Hotel

A Venetian legend begins its Four Seasons chapter

The legendary Danieli has reopened as a Four Seasons, marrying centuries of Venetian grandeur with contemporary design and a new standard of personalized hospitality.

One of Venice’s great legends has entered a new era. Danieli, Venezia, A Four Seasons Hotel officially reopened in July 2026, bringing Four Seasons hospitality to an icon whose history stretches across three palaces and centuries of Venetian life.

At its heart remains 15th-century Palazzo Dandolo, with its soaring atrium, pink marble columns, Murano glass chandeliers, and magnificent golden staircase. But the renewed Danieli is not simply a restoration. Historic Venetian craftsmanship now meets contemporary design and the highly personalized service for which Four Seasons is known.

Its position on Riva degli Schiavoni remains extraordinary — steps from Piazza San Marco and facing the lagoon toward San Giorgio Maggiore. Terrazza Danieli continues the tradition of rooftop dining with one of Venice’s defining views, while Bar Dandolo brings cocktails and afternoon tea into the theatrical grandeur of the palazzo.

The first phase offers 120 accommodations, including 52 suites, with further rooms and suites arriving in 2027. A new Danieli Spa and swimming pool are scheduled to open later in 2026.

Insider Insight

Even if you’re not staying here, walk into Bar Dandolo for aperitivo and experience the extraordinary Palazzo Dandolo lobby. Look up before you order anything — the marble, Murano chandeliers, balconies, and golden staircase are part of the experience.

Then make another visit to Terrazza Danieli. The rooftop view across the lagoon toward San Giorgio Maggiore remains one of the great perspectives in Venice. These are two very different Danieli experiences, and both deserve time.

For an overnight stay, prioritize a lagoon-facing room or suite. At Danieli, the view is part of what you’re coming for.


The arrival of Four Seasons hasn’t erased the Danieli we have known for generations. It has given this Venetian icon its next chapter. History, theatrical architecture, lagoon views, and world-class hospitality now coexist in a property that once again belongs among Venice’s essential luxury experiences.

Some hotels belong to a city. Danieli is part of the mythology of Venice.
