We propose + to give them a rapid sketch of both; and we believe it will not be + uninteresting to them to know that in the halls and chambers they + inhabit, some of the most important acts of the great Venetian Republic + have been discussed and decided upon; and that in this Palace besides + Doges and Senators, Kings and Ambassadors, Alfred de Musset (then a fair + and charming young man in delicate health) took up his abode, in 1833, + and Balzac, m.<sup>me</sup> George Sand (who here wrote her novel <i>Leone + Leoni</i>), and Victor Feuillet, who, for his magnificent romance + « L'Honnêteté », drew his inspiration from Venetian subjects. +</p> +<p> + But to return to the ancient history of the Palace (now Hotel Royal + Danieli) it was built in 1400, by one of the Dandolo families, but + whether by that of the great Doge, Enrico Dandolo, is not quite certain. + In the <i>Chronicles of Malipiero</i> which date from 1457 to 1500 we + find the following passage « Today, the 28<sup>h</sup> August 1498, have arrived + the Ambassadors of Florence, Rucellai and Vespucci; who are lodged in + the Palazzo Dandolo, in the Calle delle Razze ». We should here remark + that the beautiful Gothic door, in the Calle delle Razze was originally + the principle entrance, and the one on the Riva degli Schiavoni has + only been opened in recent years for the convenience of travellers. +</p> +<p> + We find confirmation of what has been said as to the date of the Palace, + and as to the family who built it, in the <i>Diary of Sanudo</i>, in + which he tells us that « on the 7<sup>h</sup> April 1498 the Prince of Salerno came + to Venice. A most brilliant reception was given him, great <i>festas</i> + were held in his honour, and he, and his suite of forty-four persons + were lodged in the Dandolo Palace of the <i>Calle delle Razze</i> ». +</p> +<p> + Sanudo tells us again that « in 1499, this magnificent abode was + prepared, by order of the Republic, to receive worthily the French + Ambassadors ». +</p> +<p> + We could cite many other historical passages proving that this Palace + had belonged to the Dandolo family, but one more, and a very interesting + one, must suffice. In <i>Sanudo's Diary</i> we read again « On the + evening of the 21 February 1531 the orator Cesareo, in the Palace + Dandolo, Calle delle Razze, on the quay, gave a very great feast, with + fireworks concerts, and illuminated boats, Spanish fashion, on the Canal + of St. Mark's, on the occasion of the elevation of the king of Hungary + and Boemia, to the dignity of a King of the Romans ». +</p> +<p> + This historic Palace passed from the Dandolos to the Gritti family, in + 1536, by a deed of sale; and it is not without interest to note that to + distinguish it from others of the same name, it is called in the deed, + « that Palazzo Dandolo in which generally abides the Ambassadors of + France ». +</p> + +<p> </p><p> </p> + +<center> +<a href="images/image-04.jpg"> +<img src="images/image-04.jpg" width="80%" +alt="Atrium and Ducal Stairs in the Palazzo Dandolo"></a> +<br><small><b>ATRIUM AND DUCAL STAIRS IN THE PALAZZO DANDOLO</b></small> +</center> + +<p> </p><p> </p> + +<p> + After the Dandolos and the Grittis, the Michiel, the Mocenigo and the + Bernardo families became its possessors by marriage, and they retained + it till the beginning of the present century, when, as we have said, + its second floor was sold, by the noble Dame Helen Michiel, widow of + Alvise Bernardo to Dal Niel. Dal Niel left it to his daughter Alfonsina + Muzzarelli, who was able, in 1840 to buy the first floor from the noble + Filippo Nani, the heir of the Mocenigos; and thus the whole building + passed to her daughter Giuseppina Roux, and forms the present Hotel + Royal Danieli. +</p> +<p> + The interior of this beautiful Palace we have already described its + architecture in Venetian Gothic, and Sansovino's hand is to be traced + in many of its details. It well deserves the reputation that it enjoys + of being one of the noblest hotels in the world—indeed its artistic + beauties, and its historic associations, can only be equalled by its + unique and romantic position. M<sup>me</sup> Georges Sand, who lodged in the hotel + in May 1834, as she watched from her balcony the sun setting over the + enchanting scene spread out before her, writes in her Letters of a + Traveller—« The sun had set behind the Euganean hills, great purple + clouds hung in the sky over Venice. The tower of St Mark's, the domes + of S<sup>ta</sup> Maria, and the forest of spires and minarets that rise from all + parts of Venice, were drawn in black outline against the burnished + horizon. The sky passed, by an admirable gradation, from cherry red to + enamelled blue; and the water, calm and limpid as a glass, gave back the + exact reflection of this immense iridescence. Nearer the town the lagoon + was like a vast mirror of bronze. Never had I seen Venice so lovely and + so fairy-like ». +</p> +<p> + To the beauty of a panorama unequalled in the world, that is spread + before the windows of the hotel to its historic associations to the + purity and the grandeur of its architecture, to the Venetian + sumptuousness of its halls and chambers (including the green saloon of + the Doges) to the magnificence of its Atrium and staircase—preserved in + its original XV<sup>h</sup> cent. condition, must now be added the important works + of restoration and embellishment just completed by the present + proprietors who by the aid of clever architects, artists and decorators, + have studied the means of bringing into requisition all the modern + appliances, in the way of Steam and Electricity, to produce luxury and + comfort, without taking from this interesting Venetian monument its + original character, which carries the traveller back to the epoch of the + Dandolos, the Grittis, the Bernardos, the Michielis and the Mocenigos. +</p> + +<p> </p><p> </p> + +<center> +<a href="images/image-05.jpg"> +<img src="images/image-05.jpg" width="80%" +alt="Scala D'Oro"></a> +<br><small><b>SCALA D'ORO</b></small> +</center> + +<p> </p><p> </p> + + +<h2> + THE NEW YORK HERALD +</h2> +<h3> + (European Edition) of April 14<sup>th</sup> +</h3> +<h4> + says: +</h4> +<p> + We have pleasure in offering to the readers of the NEW YORK HERALD + a few details about this splendid hotel, which, because of its ancient + history, its modern additions, its internal arrangements, its + topografical position at Venice, is one of the most interesting hotels + in Italy. +</p> +<p> + We will begin by pointing out the frame is worthy of the picture. Among + all the cities of the world, incontestably the most beautiful and the + most unique is Venice—the « Queen of the Adriatic ». +</p> +<p> + Venice for the traveler, for the artist, for the poet, is far more + interesting than Naples, and even than Rome. The shores of Naples, + however enchanting, the monuments of Rome, however incomparable, can be + pictured by the imagination even without visiting them, but Venice can + be comprehended and realized only by seeing it with the eyes and by + living its life, and the more this is done, the greater becomes the + admiration excited. +</p> +<p> + The enchanting mysteries of its canals and of its picturesque streets + and calles, the grandeur of its monuments and of its palaces, which rise + as by enchantment from the limpid water, the atmosphere of poetry and + art which surrounds it, are not to be described, or if described present + but a faint picture of the reality. +</p> +<p> + This, then, being the romantic frame, the picture as spread out before + the windows of the Palazzo Dandolo, now Royal Hotel Danieli, which + stands in the finest part of the Riva degli Schiavoni, is worthy of it, + making an unequalled panorama, which extends from the Piazzetta with the + Molo, the Columns, St. Mark's Church and the Doge's Palace away round to + the Public Gardens. The front, which is due south, faces the broad Basin + of St. Mark, dotted with gondolas and boats of all kinds, and the broad + lagoons, with their treasures and their mysteries. The red church of San + Giorgio Maggiore and the great dome of the Salute, reflect themselves + in the water to the right, backed, in the far distance, by the blue + volcanic hills of Padua: while to the left is Byron's island of San + Lazzaro, and the long low banks of the Lido that defend Venice from + the waves of the Adriatic. +</p> + +<p> </p><p> </p> + + +<center> +<a href="images/image-06.jpg"> +<img src="images/image-06.jpg" width="80%" +alt="Smoking-room and American Bar"></a> +<br><small><b>SMOKING-ROOM AND AMERICAN BAR</b></small> +</center> + +<p> </p><p> </p> + +<center> +<a href="images/image-07.jpg"> +<img src="images/image-07.jpg" width="80%" +alt="Public Drawing Room"></a> +<br><small><b>PUBLIC DRAWING ROOM</b></small> +</center> + +<p> </p><p> </p> + +<p> + But the palace itself, famous in the history of Venice, having been + built in 1400 by the great family of Dandolo (and which is now the + Royal Hotel Danieli), forms an integral part of the picture, for it is + one of the most magnificent palaces of Venice; and we shall presently + give our readers a historical sketch of it, which we trust will prove + interesting. Meanwhile we must mention that to this ancient and + sumptuous palace, with its Atrium and Loggia, with its grand ducal + staircase, its ample reception halls, its « golden stairs », its rooms + decorated with stucco and precious carvings, its Sansovino ceiling + beams, its wooden mosaic floors, and its bifurcated windows and ogival + balconies, which recall the history of Bianca Cappello, has been added + a second palace, equally large and imposing, but one built on purpose + for a hotel. +</p> +<p> + This second building is modern—modern in all its details, as we shall + see in due course. +</p> +<p> + The exterior of these two palaces, of which the architecture presents + a remarkable contrast, can be admired in the following engraving. +</p> +<p> + The building to the right of the spectator is the modern Palace, that on + the left the ancient Dandolo Palace—each splendid in its own style—and + the one in the distance is the famous Palace of the Doges. +</p> +<p> + To describe the interior of these two handsome edifices is very + difficult, but the accompanying engraving, which represents the + <i>Atrium</i> of the Palazzo Dandolo, with its magnificent ducal + staircase, will give some idea of their beauty. Around this Atrium are + a number of fine halls and offices, with the water-gate opening on to + a side canal with a marble landing-stage for the gondolas. Near to the + water-gate is the <i>Railway Office</i> (a convenience possessed by + no other hotel in Venice), where tickets can be taken and luggage be + registered without any trouble to the traveler. Next this is the + luggage office. +</p> +<p> + Opposite the land entrance is the <i>Porter's Lodge</i>, where one or + more porters are always to be found at the disposition of travelers. On + the left hand is a <i>Post Office</i> with, for the greater security of + all correspondence, a Government letter-box; and close by, the <i>Bureau + of the Hotel</i>, with offices for the <i>cashier</i>, for <i>money changing</i>, + and for <i>Bank business</i>. +</p> +<p> + Opposite the grand stairs is a luxurious <i>Smoking Room</i>, its walls + hung with rich material, and furnished in Oriental comfort and style, + with an <i>American Bar</i> leading out of it. Next it, are two spacious + <i>Reading and Writing Rooms</i>, containing the principal newspapers + and illustrated publications of the world. +</p> + +<p> </p><p> </p> + +<center> +<a href="images/image-08.jpg"> +<img src="images/image-08.jpg" width="80%" +alt="Reading Room"></a> +<br><small><b>READING ROOM</b></small> +</center> + +<p> </p><p> </p> + +<p> + On the right hand of the main door is a large <i>Public Drawing + Room,</i> style of 1700, with handsome stucco-work, and gilt furniture + covered with rich stuffs, with the hangings and wall-coverings all <i>en + suite</i>. This room alone would repay a visit to the hotel. Some idea + can be formed of it from the following engravings, though, of course, + the full effect of its richness and color is lost. In the two palaces + there are a number of other such drawing-rooms, besides a concert hall, + ballroom, music room and billiard room, &c. There are also bath rooms + and douche baths on every floor. On the ground floor are the + <i>kitchens</i>, the <i>wine cellars</i>, the <i>ice cellars</i>, the apparatus + for <i>heating</i> the whole buildings by steam, thus spreading a + uniform temperature throughout the two Palaces. Here is also the + machinery for the <i>lifts</i>, the centre for the distribution of the + <i>electric light</i> and the boilers and <i>syphons</i> for giving <i>hot water</i> + direct into all the apartments. All this deserves being examined from + the novelty of the systems employed and from the exquisite order and + tidiness which everywhere reigns. +</p> +<p> + We will not describe the <i>bedrooms</i> and <i>sitting rooms</i>, + except to say that they have all been recently done up and richly + furnished with the utmost artistic taste and are all lit with + electricity. Many of the apartments have been preserved in the original + style, especially the <i>Saloon of the Doges</i>, No. 9, which with the + adjoining rooms, Nos. 10, 11 and 12, all of which overlook the Riva + degli Schiavoni and the magnificent panorama already described. +</p> +<p> + The <i>wines</i> and <i>the table</i> are a great speciality of the + Hotel Royal Danieli, all being of the very highest order, and its + <i>dining rooms</i> and <i>restaurant</i> arranged with small and separate tables, + have an unusual character all their own. +</p> +<p> + The <i>dining rooms</i> are decorated in an entirely novel style and one + that is truly poetic. The great windows of ground glass are transformed + into eight lovely winter gardens of rare plants, which are reproduced in + the big mirrors which line the walls, and the electric light, which + hangs in delicate Venetian glass lily pendants round the ceiling, + produces a most charming and unusual effect. +</p> +<p> + The two great <i>restaurant</i> halls are furnished in pure style of the + Empire, for all the stuffs and decorations are copied from the best + works that treat of that period, and are among the richest and choicest + of that famous epoch. +</p> +<p> + Thus, by a series of ingenious combinations these two palaces, so different + from each other in many ways, blend themselves in one harmonious and + artistic whole, and in them are united the greatest luxury with the utmost + comfort. +</p> + +<p> </p><p> </p> + +<center> +<a href="images/image-09.jpg"> +<img src="images/image-09.jpg" width="80%" +alt="Salon of the Doges"></a> +<br><small><b>SALON OF THE DOGES</b></small> +</center> + +<p> </p><p> </p> + +<p> + To give an idea of the whole we will imagine that a traveler is staying + in the apartment of the Doge—which recalls all the pomp and grandeur + of old Venice—to go to the breakfast-room and restaurant we will pass + through the great Sansovino ball-room, then through the Rose saloon, by + the side of which is the music-room (style Empire), and the gallery of + tapestry and majolica, and thus reaches the Empire decorated restaurants + which we have already described. +</p> +<p> + In the evening at dinner-time the traveler would, instead, descend by + successive steps, through a Renaissance vestibule, to the beautiful + winter garden dining-halls, which, especially when lit up by the soft + radiance of the electric lilies, makes a perfect fairy scene. +</p> +<p> + Round the ball-room on the first floor runs an uncovered <i>loggia</i>, + from whence one can look down into the court of honor, or Venetian + Atrium, in which of an evening characteristic concerts are frequently + given. From the first floor the great « scala d'oro » conducts one to the + second floor, where are the spacious concert-room and various handsome + suites of ancient and modern apartments. +</p> +<p> + To the honor of the proprietors who have succeeded one another, be it + said, that although from time to time certain works have been executed + in this historic palace to adapt it to its new use as a hotel, yet not + only have the staircases, the saloons and the various apartments been + preserved just as they were, but the artistic beauties and the historic + souvenirs have been carefully respected, the stuccoes and frescoes + of the sixteenth and seventeenth century have been spared, and the + portraits and heraldic shields of the Dandolos, the Bernardos and the + Mocenigos can still be admired to-day in their original positions. +</p> +<p> + Although the use to which this Palace, which once occupied so large a + place in the glories of the history of Venice, has been put during the + present century is very different from that which it was built, it has + always been kept most worthily, first by Danieli, then by his daughter + Alfonsina, the wife of Vespasiano Muzzarelli; then by his granddaughter, + Giuseppina Roux, and, last, by S.S. Genovesi and Campi, so that it had + the honor, which it still possesses, of being chosen by Emperors, Kings, + Princes and Ambassadors, and by great men of all countries whose + artistic travels bring them to this incomparable city, so justly called + the « Pearl of the Adriatic ». +</p> +<p> + The delightful impression made on those who inhabit the Hotel Royal + Danieli has been expressed over and over again to their friends, and + they have often said to the proprietors that they have rather felt as if + visiting in the house of a friend, or in a princely mansion, than in an + hotel, even though in the greatest hotel in the world. +</p> + +<p> </p><p> </p> + +<center> +<a href="images/image-10.jpg"> +<img src="images/image-10.jpg" width="80%" +alt="Sansovino Hall"></a> +<br><small><b>SANSOVINO HALL</b></small> +</center> + +<p> </p><p> </p> + +<p> + In this lovely palace the traveler feels <i>at home</i>. All is artistic + and poetical. No long passages, painted in imitation marble, cold and + draughty, and dreary! No long endless tables and big red velvet divans, + as in a cafe! No long rows of rooms in which the furniture is so much + alike that you cannot tell if you are in your own room or someone + else's! Here is nothing conventional, nothing that is to be seen + everywhere—whether among the mountains of Switzerland or on the + boulevards of Paris, and which makes the traveler's life monotonous + wherever he may be.
