It is said that if Venice were a theatre, the Belmond Hotel Cipriani would be the royal box. A haven of peace and exclusivity, it is ideal for a romantic getaway.
Novelist Truman Capote said Venice was like "eating an entire box of chocolate liqueurs in one go". And there are few cities that have attracted as much fascination through the centuries as this city.
Four minutes by private launch from Piazza San Marco, on the tip of Giudecca Island, this iconic Belmond Hotel Cipriani commands unrivalled views of the lagoon and Doge's Palace.
Steeped in Venetian style, it is known for interiors decorated in exquisite local artefacts, classic cuisine with an innovative twist and the most fabulous swimming pool in the city.
