ANON. Hotel Royal Danieli, Venezia.
Original hotel luggage label, c.1935. 145 x 140 mm.
The hotels main building, the Palazzo Dandolo dates to the early fourteenth Century. Several Centuries later in 1822 Giuseppe Dal Niel rented part of the Palazzo and converted it into a hotel, renaming it after his nickname Danieli. Little by little he bought all the floors and finally became sole owner.
In 1895 extensive renovations took place and then in 1906 Count Volpi of Giga Hotels acquired the Danieli. The hotel underwent its final structural change in 1948 when the buildings separating Palazzo Dandolo and Palazzo Delle Prigioni were demolished and a new building known as the Danielino was constructed (todays Palazzo Danieli Excelsior).
Famous guests include Sophia Loren, Charles Dickens and Fred Astaire. The hotel is of course a listed historic building and has become one of the most recognised and famous hotels in the World.
