Cubicle Dreamin' is a feature in which we ask the hotel mavens to take some time out of their busy work day, surf the Internet, and tell us what hotel they wish they could beam themselves to right that very second--all on the slave driving companies dime, of course. Oh, like these people aren't surfing aimlessly anyway--at least now their purposeless clicking will be cobbled together into useful hotel stories--we hope. Have a destination hotel you are just dying to leave your cube for? Send the story our way.

In this episode, Hotel Maven MyTwoCents visits Venice...in her mind. Enjoy.

This morning we woke up feeling like a million dollars, even if we don't have it. In keeping with our morning fantasy, we continued to dream at our cubicle of the sweet life with a romantic getaway to Venice, no holds (or dollars) barred.

And in doing some rich and famous research, we found the perfect stay, the magnificently restored Hotel Danieli.

Lording over the San Marco Basin, this historic five-floor hotel is comprised of the 14th century gothic Dandolo Palace, the baroque 19th century Casa Nuova, and the modern Danielino building. Together the hotel offers 233 rooms with swank décor and modern amenities including satellite TV, minibars, mosaic-tiled baths and the ever-important A/C.

The News Down Under recently checked out the Hotel Londra Palace in Venice, calling it a "gem" that has "unequalled views of St. Mark's Basin."

But never willing to take just one person's word for it, we found that their opinions are matched by past guests. The staff in particular at Londra Palace get continuously praised:

The concierges, especially Walter and Alvise, were incredibly helpful with directions, recommendations, and reservations for dinner, even assisting my husband to find a pharmacy when one was unexpectedly needed.

Other guests found the staff to be extremely helpful with their young children and in one person's case, her aging mother. These happy Venetians must be sipping back a lot of Bellinis to keep up this attitude.

We suggest you do the same however, as Bellinis may be the only form of entertainment. Although it's clear that the views are incredible, the furniture authentic, and the staff extraordinary, we found nothing in regard to WiFi, spa, fitness room, or anything of the sort.
