Hotel Danieli, Venice, Italy
A star attraction in its own right, Danieli has been a recurring cast member in all kinds of books, movies and real-life love stories over the years, thanks in part to its gilded lobby, atmospheric interiors across the trio of historic buildings, rich collection of precious art and antiques, and heritage setting on Riva degli Schiavoni (steps from the Bridge of Sighs and Piazza San Marco).
Top tips? Don't miss dining at the rooftop Terrazza Danieli while drinking in the spectacular Grand Canal views.
