Hotel Cipriani, a Belmond Hotel, Venice 

Glamour and gourmet dining

An ultra-luxurious hotel located just five minutes by boat from St Mark’s Square.

You don’t have to be in the heart of Venice to truly appreciate its beauty. Sometimes it’s better to enjoy a little time away from the crowds but still easily pop over to the city when you want. This Belmond hotel, which is located on the island of Giudecca, gives you just that. There are very few, if any, hotels that have a pool in Venice due to their size and the nature of the city; the Belmond hotel has an Olympic-sized pool in its extensive grounds. And as you laze by the water, attentive hosts will be on hand to cater to your every whim whether that’s a refreshing drink or a light snack. There are also plenty of shaded spots to head to in the gardens, some with beautiful views out over the water, and there’s even a tennis court in the grounds. The interiors are pretty special, too, with one-of-a-kind antiques furnishing grand spaces, dark wood accents and light-filled lounges.

Why we love Hotel Cipriani, a Belmond Hotel, Venice
