Belmond Hotel Cipriani

On the tip of Giudecca Island facing St Mark’ Square, Venice’s most famous hotel needs little introduction.

This iconic property has 95 suites and bedrooms, 16 of which are in the adjacent 15th century Palazzo Vendramin. The feel here is luxurious, with modern classics and lots of Venetian touches. All have private balconies, gorgeous fabrics, and sumptuous bathrooms. Those in Palazzo Vendramin annex have their own butler.

Complimentary private launches will whizz you across the Giudecca Canal into central Venice in five minutes, while the hotel will keep you occupied with its Olympic sized swimming pool and a tennis court.

Two terraces at Belmond Hotel Cipriani’s restaurant are surrounded by exotic gardens. The Cip's Club restaurant, on the lagoon-side of the Giudecca canal, is an informal dining option: for something more elegant, there's Oro restaurant.
