Hotel Danieli, Gothic palazzo on Riva degli Schiavoni, Venice, Italy
Hotel Danieli stands in three connected palaces along Riva degli Schiavoni and displays Gothic arches, marble columns, and courtyards filled with daylight. Its rooms open onto corridors with views of the lagoon and the basilica.
The Dandolo family built the main palace in the late 14th century along the lagoon waterfront. Giuseppe Dal Niel purchased the building in the early 19th century and opened it as a guesthouse for travelers from across Europe.
Elegant halls with Venetian glass chandeliers and marble floors show the grandeur of the lagoon city as it developed in the 14th century. Noble families used these rooms for social gatherings and banquets overlooking the water.
Visitors reach the building on foot from St. Mark's Square in a few minutes along the wide waterfront promenade. A private dock next to the entrance allows arrival by water taxi from different parts of the lagoon.
George Sand and Alfred de Musset stayed in room number 10 during their time in Venice, where they continued their turbulent relationship. The two writers left the city separately after a dramatic argument in winter.
