Danieli



Riva dei Schiavoni, on St Mark's Basin, near the Dodge's palace and the Bridge of Sights, the Danieli Hotel - ex Palazzo Dandolo - is certainly the most famous hotel in Venice. Not only because of the luxury it offers to its guests but also for the famous people, like Marcel Proust, Charles Dickens, Goethe, Richard Wagner, or George Sand and Alfred de Musset, who stayed here.

Does anybody know if the story that its name comes from the name of the chap who opened it as an hotel in 1822 - da Niel - is true?

That was me! I ticked the box to put my name to my comment - well, I'm 99% sure I did.
