'Old-World Venice, Reimagined'

Sat on Giudecca Island, just a five-minute boat ride from the beating heart of Venice, Belmond Hotel Cipriani is home to an addictive blend of classic Venetian charm and modern luxury. Established in 1958 by Giuseppe Cipriani - the founder of the famed Harry’s Bar, the hotel is claimed to be the home of the Bellini, and has long been a haven for travellers seeking both privacy and that wonderful proximity to the city's iconic landmarks. Its 95 rooms and suites, many with private balconies or terraces, provide sweeping views of the lagoon, St. Mark’s Square, and even the distant Dolomites. 

The Casanova Gardens - where Venice’s most notorious lover once kept his secret rendezvous - remain a sanctuary of citrus groves, shaded paths, and quiet seclusion. At their heart lies the city’s largest private swimming pool. It's saltwater depths are heated, making it feel a world apart from the crowds across the lagoon. Dining is just as seductive: Michelin-starred Oro, guided by the creative brilliance of Massimo Bottura, celebrates Venetian flavours with Bottura’s trademark imagination. Beyond the table, guests can unwind with bespoke treatments at the hotel’s wellness centre or step aboard from the private marina for an intimate trip across the lagoon.
