The opulent & theatrical magic of Venice: Belmond Cipriani HotelttadminDecember 21, 20195 star luxuryCity guideFeaturedInspired livingThe best butique hotelsThe ClassicsVenice0 Comments 03 min read Belmond Hotel Cipriani offers a true taste of the Venetian theatrical experience- an experience that has been imitated by countless artists over centuries for its pure magic and elegance. A Venetian classic, the 5-star estate’s simplicity and elegance has earned it a worldwide reputation for being one of the most glamorous hotels in the world. Boasting of unrivaled views of the lagoon that separates the hotel from the bustling St Marks Square, Belmont Cipriani is an oasis of peaceful tranquility. For those looking for some privacy away from tourists and locals while yet experiencing Venezia in its true element, this hotel is the place for you. From the minute you step off the hotel’s complimentary boat ride onto their private harbor to the warm greetings you receive in the stylish foyer, the experience is one of unpretentious sophistication. Although the hotel gives the impression that it isn’t greatly subject to changes in fashion given its ageless interiors, there has been subtle remodeling and alterations in order to ensure a smooth experience for the guests over the past few years.The rooms have invitingly comfortable beds with all the necessary amenities including a private balcony. Some rooms on the pricier side each come with their own prihttp://192.168.1.111/touristytrvate butler for those looking for more personalized attention. The hotel also stands out for its fabulous swimming pool which is great for a long swim or simply to laze around by in surrounding lounge chairs while enjoying a light lunch in the sun. At night, you can choose between the fine-dining, michelin-starred restaurant Oro or the informal yet enchanting Cips Club built on a floating terrace over the water. It’s signature italian cuisine can be relished while enjoying a light breeze and splendid views of the Grand Canal. With its long winding corridors amidst strikingly beautiful italian gardens, courteous staff andquintessential mid-20th century interiors, Belmond Cipriani lives up to its reputed name. It’s isolated location on the tip of Guidecca Island further makes it more romantic and mysterious- perhaps best enjoyed with a special someone. Although it’s idyllic to isolate yourself in a splendid corner, away from the hustle bustle of the tourist-packed city center, this exclusion comes at a steep price. Given a hotel of this class, it’s evident that this is not a hotel for travelers on a budget. It’s possible to get relatively cheaper rates during off season but a good deal for Belmond would most definitely still be exorbitant for the budget traveller. Also noted for its brief yet impressionable appearance in the James Bond flick Casino Royale in the scene where Bond docks his boat at the hotel before jetting off into the waters of Venice, Belmond Cipriani has been home to many celebrities and big names. ttadminStay connected on the freshest stories shaping the world of food, travel, vetted luxury and more.
