The honest take
Book the Danieli: it's cheaper at $2,172 versus $2,560, has a 9.2 rating across 956 reviews against the St. Regis's much smaller sample of 54, and sits directly on the lagoon at Riva degli Schiavoni. The St. Regis answers with a spa, pool and rooftop, which the Danieli's list doesn't show, plus a Grand Canal-adjacent position near St. Mark's Square. Both are grand, both are five-star, but the Danieli has the weight of reputation and view on its side.
The look and the feel
The St. Regis Venice
The St. Regis occupies a row of restored palazzi just off Campo Barozzi, close enough to St. Mark's and La Fenice that you're never more than a few bridges from the crowds. The decor leans into a soft, contemporary luxury rather than historic pastiche: down comforters, Frette linens, designer toiletries, flat-screen TVs tucked into rooms that read more international five-star than antique Venetian. Gio's Restaurant does Mediterranean food, there are two bars, and the spa and rooftop give it a resort quality unusual for the city centre. It's the choice for guests who want Venice's address without giving up modern amenity.
Guests who want a spa, pool and rooftop lounge alongside a St. Mark's-adjacent base, and don't mind a more contemporary interior.
Danieli, Venezia, A Four Seasons Hotel
The Danieli is one of Venice's great hotel buildings, a fourteenth-century Doge's palazzo on the Riva degli Schiavoni with a lobby staircase and gilded atrium that has drawn writers and aristocrats since the 1820s. Rooms have Italian-marble bathrooms and LCD televisions folded into spaces of frescoed ceilings, brocade and gilt, the kind of layered, slightly worn opulence that comes from two centuries of continuous use. Terrazza Danieli, the rooftop restaurant, looks straight over the lagoon to San Giorgio Maggiore, a view that has become one of the defining images of Venetian hotel dining. It draws a crowd that wants Venice's history under their feet, not a reinvention of it.
Guests who want to stay inside a genuine Venetian palazzo with lagoon views and don't need a pool or spa.
Choosing the Danieli over the St. Regis means giving up the spa, pool and rooftop lounge that the St. Regis lists, though the Danieli answers with its own rooftop restaurant and a lagoon-front position instead.
The Danieli is the more beautiful place to stand in, its gilded atrium and centuries of continuous use giving it a depth of character the St. Regis's smoother, more contemporary interiors don't attempt to match.

“Some Places Let You Live a Movie”
My partner knew that I had always loved the way Venice looked in The Tourist. Not the story, but the city itself. So during our European trip, he chose this hotel. We hired a water taxi and arrived exactly as Venice should be experienced, by water, right to the hotel’s entrance. From the moment they handed us those old-fashioned room keys with their heavy key fobs, it felt as though we had stepped into another era. T
