One of Venice's most celebrated hotels, Belmond Hotel Cipriani has a commanding position across the Venetian lagoon on the tip of Giudecca island, offering panoramic views across to Piazza San Marco, the lagoon and the islands beyond.
Highlights
We recommend the Palladio Suite, a true showpiece of the hotel. The suite appears to be suspended above the water, with 180-degree views of the lagoon with floor-to-ceiling windows and a plunge pool on a private terrace.
The iconic Cipriani, exuding vintage and glamour, can be found on the tip of Giudecca Island, just four minutes from the hustle and bustle of San Marco. The exclusivity of the hotel’s location is what sets the Belmond Cipriani apart from the rest.
Cipriani’s Gabbiano Bar commands unrivalled views of the lagoon and Doge’s Palace, the perfect place for a pre-dinner aperitif before the opportunity to indulge in Cipriani’s Michelin Starred Gastronomy.
Rather exceptionally for Venice, the Cipriani boasts lush private gardens and a large outdoor pool, perfect during those warmer months after a long morning of sightseeing.
Belmond Hotel Cipriani is an iconic Venetian property, located on Giudecca island, just minutes from the bustling streets of Venice. The hotel boasts an elegant charm and offers guests a relaxing retreat from the city.
The 95 rooms and suites at Belmond Hotel Cipriani all feature a classic Venetian design and each offers a balcony or terrace. Guests can choose between garden or lagoon views, and for those looking for a more traditional style, the 15th-century Palazzo Vendramin is home to an abundance of original features and views towards the Doge's Palace.
Home to three fabulous restaurants, Belmond Hotel Cipriani is well-known by locals and visitors alike for its fantastic cuisine. Oro Restaurant boasts a Michelin star and a unique menu of creative, contemporary dishes. Cip's Club, on the lagoon, offers a host of Venetian classics alongside its extensive wine list, while Gabbiano Bar is the perfect place to unwind with a digestif or a cocktail as the sun sets across the lagoon.
Thanks to its location on Giudecca island, Belmond Hotel Cipriani offers ample space, including manicured gardens and an Olympic-sized swimming pool. Guests looking to relax can make full use of the Casanova Wellness Centre, which offers a variety of treatments including massages and manicures.
