Danieli, Venezia, A Four Seasons Hotel: A 2026 Opening Guide
Danieli, Venezia, A Four Seasons Hotel reopened on July 30, 2026, beginning a new chapter for one of Venice's best known palace hotels. This planning guide is based on current information published by Four Seasons. It is not a firsthand hotel review, and details should be reconfirmed for the dates of travel.

What reopened in 2026
The hotel occupies three connected buildings on the Riva degli Schiavoni: Palazzo Dandolo, Palazzo Casa Nuova, and Palazzo Danieli Excelsior. Four Seasons says Palazzo Dandolo dates to 1471, while Casa Nuova was once associated with the Treasury of the Venetian Republic.
The first phase reopened with 120 rooms and suites. Four Seasons currently expects the total to reach 168 after the restoration of Palazzo Danieli Excelsior is completed in 2027.
Restoration, colour, and Venetian craft
Interior designer Pierre Yves Rochon led the work in Palazzo Dandolo and Casa Nuova. The official description emphasizes a palette drawn from the Venetian Lagoon, restored gilding, Murano glass, terrazzo, mirrors, and Rubelli textiles. The intention is not to erase the age of the buildings, but to let the historic rooms and contemporary interventions sit together.
Dining and the rooftop perspective
The hotel's position places the lagoon and San Giorgio Maggiore at the center of the setting, particularly from the rooftop terrace. Four Seasons describes the culinary direction as Italian with a Venetian influence, supported by seasonal ingredients and local producers. Travelers choosing the hotel for a specific restaurant or terrace experience should confirm current hours and reservation policies when planning.
What is still to come
Danieli Spa is scheduled to open later in 2026 with three treatment rooms, including one intended for couples, plus a sauna and hammam. The Palazzo Danieli Excelsior restoration is expected to continue into 2027. A stay during this phased reopening should be planned around the facilities and room categories operating at that time.
Who may find the Danieli compelling
The address may suit travelers who want a historic Venice setting, direct lagoon atmosphere, and a hotel that feels closely tied to the city's architecture. It may be especially relevant for a first or milestone visit when the hotel itself is meant to be part of the itinerary rather than simply a place to sleep.
