Beautiful place and the food was to die for me and my husband really enjoyed the atmosphere and the place in general I recommend and the staff where lovely food was a little bit of a wait but me and my husband loved this place and I will be coming back.

It’s everything you hear about (and see) in the movies and more. Everything is spectacular. Not just a hotel but an experience. I’m writing this review because even though I’ve stayed there with my wife about three years ago we still haven’t forgotten. And never will.

This hotel was a cherry on top in our journey in Venice. It is expensive - crazy expensive. But the ones who stay there rarely read Booking reviews ;) They now why they are booking it and what service they will get. It is high end, top notch hotel, a few steps from St. Marco square and nice Venetian Lagoon views. We had an amazing time here. The room is very nicely decorated, and the view from room and balkony to the Venetian Lagoon is worth the price. It was also very spacious and comfortable to spend time in it. Breakfast option is a great one, rich of food, great service, nice view, good feeling. We also tried local Restaurant Terrazza Danieli rooftop in the evening and were very happy with the service, food choice, atmosphere. Later you can enjoy live music and drink unique cocktails at Bar Terrazza Danieli. We also wondered via different floors and enjoyed the unique historical palazzo ceilings, furniture and spirit. We were greeted by special service, personal note upon arrival, bottle of Prosecco and a small Venetian delight for our celebration. All these small details counts! This is a place were you can really enjoy, relax and just stop for a moment from all the rush and buzz around you. Nothing to complain about except for some light noise coming through the windows from lagoon side. Windows isolation could be better.

The hotel is beautifully decorated as you walk into the lobby. We then went up to the top floor to the main restaurant for Christmas Day lunch. From the pink champagne to the risotto dish, everything was absolutely stunning. The views were incredible, as it was a lovely sunny day, we watched the sun set from the roof. The only disappointment was after getting out of the lift in the lobby, we took a couple of photos and the team member in this area came up to my friend and said “leave” she was pretty shocked but explained we had just had lunch upstairs and I went over and explained the same. He glared at us and said with his face and actions he did not believe us. We left feeling insulted. But our over riding memory is a fabulous lunch.

Visited in December 2023 where the place is not so busy. The location is great and i believe it’s the best option for newcomers considering a luxury stay. Everything is walking distance away. We stayed in a wonderful suite overlooking the canal. On the downside, I believe its time to start renovating the hotel. Yellowish switches and damaged furniture etc do not belong to such pricey 5 star hotel
