Belmond Hotel Cipriani
Belmond Hotel Cipriani is set amid lush gardens and vineyards on peaceful Giudecca Island, just five minutes from St. Mark's Square via the courtesy private launch. The sumptuous accommodations capture the essence of Venice with Murano glass, antique mirrors and fabrics by Fortuny and Rubelli. Dine on the wooden terrace of the Cip's Club Restaurant, facing the Doge's Palace, or in the stunning Michelin-star Oro Restaurant. Swim in the Olympic-size pool or enjoy a massage in the Wellness Centre; children love the Kids' Club, with its special activities and a dedicated mini pool.
The hotel has a great concierge who can whip up a sunset gondola ride in a heartbeat; guests feel like stars arriving by yacht.
