The landmark Hotel Danieli will relaunch as Danieli, A Four Seasons Hotel, Venice, following an extensive restoration and redesign.
Four Seasons has announced that reservations are now open ahead of an August 2026 debut.
“Venice has long been a city we aspired to welcome into our growing portfolio of luxury experiences, and it is with deep appreciation for its place in history, and immense excitement for what lies ahead, that we that we usher in a new chapter for the storied Danieli hotel,” said Adrian Messerli, President, Hotel Operations – Europe, Middle East and Africa at Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts. He also credited owner-partner Gruppo Statuto for its role in transforming the property while respecting its heritage.

The Danieli’s three interconnected buildings reflect centuries of Venetian history. Palazzo Dandolo was first converted into a hotel in 1822, followed by the addition of the 19th-century Palazzo Casa Nuova and the Palazzo Danieli Excelsior in 1950. French designer Pierre-Yves Rochon has overseen the restoration, blending contemporary design with Venetian materials such as Murano glass, terrazzo, Italian marbles and Rubelli fabrics.
General Manager Christian Zandonella will lead the hotel team, including staff familiar to returning guests.
“Venice has always inspired the world’s imagination,” Zandonella said. “At the Danieli, we open the door to authentic cultural connections – working with local craftspeople and celebrating the beauty of everyday life in the city.”
Four Seasons has confirmed that guest arrivals will begin on August 26, 2026.
When it opens, the hotel will feature 120 rooms and suites, with additional accommodations planned for 2027, bringing the total to 176. Many rooms will offer unobstructed views of the lagoon, and the layout includes a high number of connecting rooms designed for families and groups.

Dining will be led by Executive Chef Adriano Rausa at Restaurant Terrazza Danieli, located on the hotel’s rooftop with panoramic lagoon views.
Two bars—Bar Dandolo at lobby level and a rooftop bar at Terrazza Danieli—will anchor the hotel’s food and beverage offering.
The property will also cater to small meetings and events, with more than 9,000 square feet of dedicated space. A spa is scheduled to open in late 2026.
The Venice opening adds to the company’s Italian portfolio, which includes properties in Milan, Florence and Taormina, as well as a future resort planned for Puglia.
