You know that Venice feeling: you step off the vaporetto, the air smells like salt and stone, and every other traveler is trying to do San Marco the exact same way.
Danieli has always been the counter-move — that stretch of the Riva where the lagoon opens up and the city feels calmer, even when it’s busy.
Now it’s getting its next act: Danieli, A Four Seasons Hotel, Venice is confirming arrivals beginning August 26, 2026 — and reservations are live.
What’s the real news?
Four Seasons is now confirming arrivals beginning August 26, 2026 at Danieli, A Four Seasons Hotel, Venice.
The takeaway: this isn’t a new-build. It’s a historic Venice address being reintroduced with Four Seasons service — which matters if you’re the type who wants Venice to feel effortless (boats, timing, access, and someone else handling the frictions).
What’s changing inside (and what’s staying very Venice)?
Four Seasons says the hotel has been restored, modernized, and redecorated by Pierre‑Yves Rochon.
The press material calls out Rubelli fabrics, Venetian terrazzo, Murano glass, and Italian marbles as part of the look and feel.
How many rooms — and what should you try to book?
At opening, Four Seasons says Danieli will have 120 rooms and suites, with additional rooms and suites added in 2027.
They also note that many accommodations face the water, with views of the lagoon and its islands.
Food, rooftop, and the spa timeline
Terrazza Danieli is positioned as the hotel’s rooftop restaurant with panoramic lagoon views.
Four Seasons also says the Danieli Spa is slated to debut in late 2026, with three treatment rooms (including one for couples) plus a sauna and hammam.
What You Actually Want to Know
Is the hotel open yet?
Reservations are open and Four Seasons is confirming arrivals beginning August 26, 2026.
Will the spa be open at launch?
Four Seasons says the Danieli Spa is planned for late 2026, so it may not be part of the initial August opening window.
What’s the best room choice?
Start with lagoon views. Four Seasons emphasizes that many rooms face the water.
If Venice is the anchor, the city has more going on in 2026 than one hotel. Our story on Orient Express Palazzo Donà Giovannelli covers the other major arrival of the year — a 15th-century Cannaregio palazzo with private boat dining, opening April 2026, at the other end of the city from the Danieli.
