The Pinnacle of Venetian Glamour

Opened in 1958 by Giuseppe Cipriani (founder of Harry's Bar), Hotel Cipriani, A Belmond Hotel, Venice represents the pinnacle of international glamour and Venetian romance. Perched on the serene eastern tip of Giudecca Island, the property is a private sanctuary surrounded by the waters of the Venetian lagoon, yet only a five-minute complimentary wooden launch ride from Piazza San Marco.

Over the decades, the Cipriani has welcomed Hollywood icons, world leaders, and royalty—from Elizabeth Taylor and Yves Saint Laurent to George Clooney. The estate encompasses the 15th-century Palazzo Vendramin, the fragrant Casanova gardens where Giacomo Casanova once strolled, an Olympic-sized heated saltwater swimming pool (the only one in central Venice), the red-clay tennis court, and the serene Casanova Wellness Centre. Dining is nothing short of legendary: from the gold-ceilinged, Michelin-starred Oro restaurant to the lively waterside Cip's Club and the iconic Bar Gabbiano.

When booking through Vincent Vacations, your Venetian journey is enriched with bespoke Signature Travel Network privileges including daily full American breakfast, a $100 USD resort credit, room category upgrades, and dedicated VIP concierge care to orchestrate after-hours Doge's Palace visits, private water taxi lagoon excursions, and reserved tables overlooking the sunset.
