In a prime position on the waterfront of Giudecca Island, Belmond Hotel Cipriani commands impressive views over the lagoon and Doge’s Palace, and is just five minutes by private launch from Piazza San Marco. The hotel exhibits Venetian style through its architecture — including Palazzo Vendramin, a 15th-century building linked to the rest of the hotel via an ancient courtyard. The city’s identity is also evident in the cuisine of the Michelin-starred Oro Restaurant and the Italian specialities of Giudecca 10 and Cip’s Club. A highlight is undoubtedly the outdoor seawater swimming pool, which also happens to be the only Olympic-size pool in central Venice.
