The sail into Venice was absolutely magnificent! We went right down the San Marco Canal to the berth in the port. I stood on the top to take photos and get the best view. I took the shot below from the ship. You can see San Marcos Square, the Doges Palace on the right side where the bridge of Sighs connects the palace to the prison. Just right of the prison are three buildings (a white one, red one then white one again). These three buildings are the Hotel Danieli. This was our hotel for two nights.
The Danieli is impressive. It is a small luxury hotel built from a restored palace. Below is a photo of the lobby, a Venetian Gothic landmark lavishly appointed with pink marble, stained glass, gold leaf columns, Murano glass chandeliers, antiques and is four stories tall. 
We are enjoying lunch in the Daneili Restaurant.
We took a scenic gondola ride.
Saint Mark's Square was so close we took an evening stroll to listen to the music.
