Danieli, A Four Seasons Hotel, Venice

Four Seasons Hotel Danieli puts you centre stage on the Venetian lagoon, steps from Piazza San Marco and framed by water, stone and sky. Spread across three centuries-old palaces, the restored address shows off grand staircases, statement rooms by Pierre-Yves Rochon and rooftop tables made for sunset watching. Add private island outings and behind-the-scenes cultural visits and Venice suddenly feels closer, richer and far more entertaining.
