In 2022, plans were announced for the Four Seasons Venice, in the form of a conversion and renovation of Hotel Danieli, a Marriott Luxury Collection property. There’s now an update, as an opening date has been announced, and rooms are bookable.
The Venice hotel scene will be getting some excellent new luxury options this year, between this and the opening of Airelles Venice…
Details of the upcoming Four Seasons Venice
Danieli, a Four Seasons Hotel, Venice, is now accepting reservations for stays as of August 26, 2026, though it’s possible the property may open before then.
To start, it’s worth emphasizing what a special property this is. Hotel Danieli (as it’s known, outside of specific branding) is the oldest hotel in Venice, and has been operating for 200 years now. The hotel is spread out over three historic buildings, from the 14th and 19th centuries. The property is also located close to St. Mark’s Square, Doge’s Palace, and other popular sights of Venice.
When it opens, Four Seasons Venice will have 120 keys, though in 2027 we’ll see the addition of another 56 keys, so the final room count will be 176. That will include 97 rooms and 79 suites. When it comes to amenities, the property will feature Danieli Spa, with three treatment rooms, including one dedicated to couples, a sauna, and a hammam.
Restaurant Terrazza Danieli will be perched atop the hotel, helmed by Executive Chef Adriano Rausa. On top of that, Bar Dandolo will be located off the lobby, serving coffee, tea, and cocktails, while Terrezza Danieli will be an outdoor venue, ideal for enjoying an aperitivo.
As you’d expect, quite a bit of work has been done as this has been converted from a Marriott Luxury Collection to a Four Seasons. French interior designer Pierre-Yves Rochon has been behind the project (he’s the same designer behind Four Seasons’ properties in Florence, Paris, Cap-Ferrat, and Megève).
This will be Four Seasons’ fourth property in Italy, as the group also has hotels in Florence, Milan, and Taormina (Sicily).
Four Seasons Venice rates & how to book
With the Four Seasons Venice now bookable, what are rates like? As you’d expect, there’s quite a bit of seasonal variation, with summer being most expensive, and winter being cheapest (admittedly the hotel is only opening in late August, which misses the peak summer rush).
First, it’s worth mentioning that it always makes sense to keep an eye on the hotel’s offers page, as you’ll sometimes find offers like a free night promotion, extra property credit, etc. (though as of the time of this post, promotions are limited).
Currently, I see rates starting at a little over $1,000 per night in winter, and rates starting at around $2,000 per night in summer.
If you’re going to book this hotel (or any Four Seasons), you should generally book through a travel advisor who is affiliated with the Four Seasons Preferred Partner program. With this program, eligible travel advisors can add value to your stay without it costing you extra. They can add perks like complimentary breakfast (including via in-room dining), a hotel credit, an upgrade subject to availability, and more.
Best of all, Four Seasons Preferred Partner can generally be combined with any rates or promotions you’ll find directly with Four Seasons.
For what it’s worth, the upgrades through this program are also prioritized over upgrades through other programs, so you’ll want to use Preferred Partner over a program like Virtuoso or Amex Fine Hotels + Resorts®. However, if you have a credit or some other benefit with a different program, that could be worth using as well.
Bottom line
Four Seasons will be opening a property in Venice, with reservations now bookable as of August 2026. This comes in the form of a conversion of Hotel Danieli, a Marriott Luxury Collection property. Between this and the opening of the new Airelles Venice, the hotel market sure is heating up.
What do you make of the new Four Seasons Venice?
