World Grand Hotels

Oh, the palaces of Venice!!! They are incredible mixtures of architecture, art and science! A few years ago, we were fortunate enough to stay in one of these beautiful palaces which, as many others, has now been converted into a hotel. This particular hotel is now known as the Hotel Danieli. Being that we are Starwood members, and this hotel is part of Starwood’s Luxury Collection, we cashed out some Starpoints to stay here!! This made our stay so much more affordable! And what an experience it was! Upon arriving at the hotel, we were greeted in the posh lobby by a very polished concierge. The best places from all over the world

As per my modus operandi, I asked if there were any available upgrades. He informed me that we were booked into an interior room, but he also had other rooms available with better views. He graciously brought us to both rooms so that we could choose. The rooms with the “better views” were absolutely divine! They had the typical Moorish windows that looked out onto the Grand Canal! The best places


Who wouldn’t want to stay in these rooms? It was as if we were stepping back in time to the aristocratic ways of the Venetian nobility! Yeah, it was bit noisy in the morning when all the city workers were about doing their jobs, but it was an experience that I wouldn’t trade for the world!
