The Cipriani may be one of the world’s most
exclusive hotels, but it also offers an exceptionally warm welcome to visitors to Venice – a true home away from home. With the elegance of a private club and the advantage of being at the heart of the city, but gently remved from its hustle and bustle, it is the perfect base for discerning travellers.
The hotel’s windows overlook the basin of St Mark’s, the Palladian church of San Giorgio and distant islands of the lagoon. Within the hotel’s own grounds are fabulous gardens with breathtaking views over the water.
Guests arrive by private launch, after the short ride from the piazza San Marco, and are immediately immersed in a feeling of peace and tranqulity. A day here is made up of layers of wonderful experiences, from luxuriating beside the swimming pool bar to lunching in the Gabbiano Restaurant under coloured awnings.
For the more energetic the Cipriani health club offers the latest equipment while the Casanova Spa offers sophisticated treatments and products for those who wish to be pampered. The Spa patios overlook the beautiful Casanova gardens, now part of the “Great Italian Gardens” and the vineyards that still produce the hotel’s Casonova Salso red wine.
In the evening it is magical to dine by candlelight in either of the hotel’s two restaurants: the Cip’s Club in the Palazzetto or the Fortuny Restaurant. When night comes, your room key opens up to a beautiful dreamscape – only this is reality. |
