The True Venetian Classic Hotel
Welcome to your Italian fantasy, the Belmond Hotel Cipriani , a timeless place where elegance and charm are found in every detail. Set on Giudecca Island, a five-minute ride by private boat from St. Mark’s Square, Belmond Hotel Cipriani captures everything La Serenissima is framed for. Transport yourself into a realm of vintage glamour that knows no bounds. Order a Bellini at Gabbiano Bar, then savour slowly as you gaze across the lagoon.
At Hotel Cipriani, each sumptuous space mingles light, fresh details with luxuriant styling. Hardwood floors, original art and spacious marble bathrooms are a study on old-world Venetian charm. From the glimmering gold ceiling of Oro to the fragrant roses in garden, every detail will take your breath away.
Michelin-starred Oro Restaurant serves up an extravaganza for all the senses. Designed by acclaimed interior architect Adam D. Tihany, the restaurant’s interior exudes Venetian refinement while an inventive Italian menu sings with culinary creativity.
Charismatic and casual, Cip’s Club holds a worldwide reputation. Classic Venetian and Italian delicacies are served waterside on the terrace.
Take a seat beside the most elegant swimming pool in Venice. Order some regional specialities from an elegant, informal menu in Porticciolo Restaurant. While you wait, have our sommelier select a bottle of crisp Italian wine to savour alongside the hypnotic lagoon views.
Surrender to serenity at Hotel Cipriani Casanova Wellness Centre. Indulge body and mind in the gardens where Casanova once wooed his lovers. Exceptionally intimate, a twin treatment cabin lets you share a series of luxurious therapies, including the spa’s signature treatment: the Casanova Garden Ritual.
