ICON

The iconic Belmond Hotel Cipriani is as enchanting as its many famous guests. In 1956, Giuseppe Cipriani dreamt of creating a haven close to St Mark’s Square, yet away from the city bustle. Today, exquisite interior touches pay homage to its heritage, while Michelin-starred gastronomy, charming staff and the only Olympic-sized swimming pool in the city set this celebrated property apart.
