The Westin Europa and Regina Style: Classic Luxury San Marco, 2159 Venice , VE 30124 Italy

Situated on the final stretch of Venice's Grand Canal where it broadens to become the Bacino di San Marco, The Westin Europa and Regina, Venice occupies a position of absolute privilege, offering views which inspired the impressionist painter Claude Monet, and facing the beautiful Italian Baroque church of Santa Maria della Salute. St. Mark's Square, St. Mark's Basilica, the La Fenice Opera House, and Calle XXII Marzo, Venice's prestigious shopping area, are all steps away. Composed of five 18th and 19th century historic palaces, the oldest of which belonged to the Tiepolos, the illustrious Venetian family that gave the city two "Doges" and the 17th century painter Giambattista Tiepolo, The Westin Europa and Regina, Venice today offers guests a sophisticated combination of characteristic elegance and modern technology.

The public areas of the hotel embrace guests in a distinguished, welcoming atmosphere that is attentive to every necessity; here you'll find marble and mosaic flooring taken from the original design of the Scuola di San Rocco, walls partially covered in sensual tones of marble, characteristic Venetian decorations and furnishings, and the splendid hand-made Murano glass chandeliers.

Guestroom decors vary from characteristic Venetian style lacquered furniture in yellow, green or pink pastel colours, to a refreshing modern decor in light blues, creams, greys and oranges. All guestrooms offer Westin's famous Heavenly Bed; Wi-Fi is available on some guestroom floors and non-smoking rooms can be requested.

Overlooking Riva degli Shiavoni, just steps from Piazza San Marco, St. Mark's Basilica, and legendary sites such as the Doge's Palace and the Bridge of Sighs, the masterfully restored Hotel Danieli is synonymous with the splendor and romance of Venice. The hotel is made up of three interconnecting palaces, each unique in style, whose glorious interiors blend together to create an evocative ambiance which offers guests the best in modern comfort and refined luxury. The main building, the Dandolo Palace, is a Venetian gothic landmark lavishly appointed with pink marble, stained glass, gold leaf decorated ceilings, Murano glass chandeliers, and antiques. This magnificent palace was commissioned in the 14th century by the noble Venetian family Dandolo, four of whose members represented the city as Doge. Of these four, the most famous and glorious was Enrico, who conquered Constantinople. Enrico Dandolo's portrait and many memories of his heroic life still adorn the Dandolo Palace.

The adjacent "Casa Nuova" building is a 19th century palace whose decor reflects a rich, Venetian Baroque style.

The impressive building to the right of the central Dandolo Palace is the "Danielino". Dating back to 1948 the Danielino's decor conveys an aura of old world charme; pastel shades of pale pink, soft blue and yellow, Empire style furnishings, and framed stuccoes embrace guests during their Venetian sojourn.

Named to Conde Nast Traveler's 2005 Gold List Reserve and 2001 Readers' Choice Awards List, for generations the Hotel Danieli has been the luxury hotel preferred by discerning visitors to Venice.
