Starpick the Hotel Danieli

Venice, Italy is not known as a city of bargains, so when an opportunity arises to save some money on a visit to this breathtaking city, it's worth paying attention. The legendary Hotel Danieli, a member of Starwood's Luxury Collection, is one of this week's participating Starpicks properties, which means that last-minute rates are at least 20% off regular rates for stays during the next two weekends.

So if you've ever dreamed of visiting Venice, a stunning city of fairytale beauty and rich history, here's a grand opportunity. The Hotel Danieli is one of the finest hotels in Venice. Set in the masterfully restored 14th century palace of Doge Dandolo's family, it boasts Murano glass chandeliers, stained glass, carved marble columns, majestic high ceilings plus a pretty stellar piano bar. Some of Venice's greatest attractions, such as the Piazza San Marco, the Doge's Palace, and the Bridge of Sighs, are just steps away from this exquisite property. And when the day is done and you just want to rest your weary feet and watch the sun set, you can't do much better than the hotel's rooftop Terrazza Danieli restaurant. With an elegant atmosphere and delightful Mediterranean cuisine, it's the stuff dreams are made of. There are about three dozen participating Starpicks properties right now, so take a look at the list and dream up your next great escape.
