Introduction to Cipriani
Introduction
Canaletto. A picture springs unbidden to mind, of a beautiful watery cityscape across the Venetian
lagoon, the campanile of St Mark’s and the magnificent Doges’ Palace on the horizon. Seen from
the 15th-century Palazzo Vendramin and Palazzetto Nani Barbaro, the reality of this painted vision remains
unfailingly breathtaking. This, then, is the view from the deluxe all-suite annexes of Cipriani.
Defying comparison, this Orient-Express hotel is a haven of exclusivity and unhurried luxury,
removed from the chaos of St Mark’s Square by virtue of a ten minute ride by private launch across the
lagoon, sequestered in formal gardens on the island of Giudecca. Since its inception in the 1950s
Cipriani has enjoyed constant acclaim. Synonymous with good living and renowned for its service,
this hotel was built to indulge the rich and romantic. The Olympic-sized swimming pool, tennis court
and Casanova Spa and fitness centre offering the most sophisticated treatments and products by Babor
to make your stay in Venice an unforgettable one, are unique amongst Venetian hotels, elevating
Cipriani to the ranks of luxury resort .
Fine dining in stylish and romantic surroundings has always been key to Cipriani’s success,
with Cip’s, in the Palazzetto, offering the informality of bar, restaurant, pizzeria and grill in one.
The fairytale Palladio Suite, offers every luxury and comfort that
imagination and impeccable taste could devise, and the new Pagaressa Suite in Palazzo Vendramin offers stunning views of the basin of San Marco.
