Bar Terrazza Danieli

Venice


Gondolas glide in to dock along the quay, while across the lagoon the white-marble edifice of Palladio’s San Giorgio Maggiore turns from gold to pink in the waters of the canal: this is the late-afternoon scene from the Hotel Danieli’s top-floor balcony bar and it definitely calls for a toast. Linger over a spritz (cocktail made with prosecco) or cocktail.
