Hotel Danieli will become a Four Seasons property. At the beginning of the year, there were reports that this wouldn't happen, and now it's official.

Details of the upcoming Four Seasons Venice

One of the world's best hotel groups will be buying a property in Venice.

  • The 204-room Hotel Danieli, currently a Marriott Luxury Collection property, will become a Four Seasons
  • It’s expected that the hotel will undergo a significant renovation before being converted, and French interior designer Pierre-Yves Rochon has been selected for the project (he’s the same designer behind Four Seasons’ properties in Florence, Paris, Cap-Ferrat, and Megève)
  • The hotel will stay open throughout the renovation, with select services remaining available; for now the hotel will remain a Marriott Luxury Collection property, and then it will briefly be branded independently as Hotel Danieli
  • The hotel will become a Four Seasons upon conclusion of the renovations in 2025, and it will be known as Hotel Danieli, Venezia, A Four Seasons Hotel

Basics of Marriott’s Hotel Danieli

Marriott has a large footprint in Venice and it is a shame that they lost a points hotel there. Marriott has more than one option that is less luxurious, including Hotel Danieli Venice.

Hotel Danieli is the oldest hotel in Venice and has been open for 200 years. There are three historic buildings that make up the hotel. St. Mark's Square and Doge's Palace are both located close to the property.

Bottom line

Four Seasons will open a property in Venice in 25 years, but it will be at the expense of a Marriott property. The Marriott Luxury Collection property, Hotel Danieli, is going to undergo an extensive renovation before being reopened as a Four Seasons property.

Four Seasons loyalists will be excited about the brand's expansion to Venice, while Marriott will be sorely missed.
