Hotel Cipriani
Venice, Italy

Located on the tip of Giudecca Island, just a short private boat ride from St Mark's Square, the hotel enjoys a rare position that allows guests to experience Venice while escaping its crowds. Across the water, the city's domes, bell towers and palaces form one of the world's most recognisable skylines, viewed from a setting that feels unexpectedly spacious and tranquil.

Since opening in 1958, Hotel Cipriani has become one of Venice's most celebrated addresses, welcoming generations of travellers drawn by its location, gardens and unmistakable sense of place. Unlike many Venetian hotels housed within historic palazzi lining the canals, Cipriani offers expansive grounds, private gardens and the city's largest swimming pool, creating a resort-like atmosphere that is exceptionally rare in Venice.

Days often begin with a leisurely breakfast overlooking the lagoon before exploring Venice's winding streets, hidden campi and artistic treasures. Returning to the hotel feels like stepping into a quieter side of the city, where the pace slows and the views take centre stage.

Dining reflects both the traditions of Venice and the wider Veneto region, while interiors remain elegant without feeling formal. Throughout the property, there is a quiet confidence that comes from knowing exactly what it is: one of Venice's great hotels.
