Situated on the small Island of Giudecca, facing Saint Marco Square, The Cipriani is one of the most prestigious hotels of the city. Occupying a converted 16th century cloister, surrounded by magnificent gardens offering un-comparable views on the sea, a warm welcome and outstanding hospitality await visitors arriving at this reputed establishment in Venice. The windows overlook the basin of Saint Marco, the Palladium San Giorgio Church and the faraway islands of the lagoon.

Founded by Giuseppe Cipriani (who also created Harry’ s Bar), the rooms at the hotel are exceptionally refined and offer a wonderfully calming atmosphere. Simple elegance or sophisticated ambiance surrounded by antiques and superb works of art… you will certainly find the room or suite that is in perfectly harmony in order to live an absolutely unique experience. You will appreciate the splendid gardens, the beauty center, and the extraordinary Olympic salt water pool, the only one that exists in the heart of Venice.

Relax at the pool bar or have a delicious lunch at the Porticciolo restaurant... a day here is a succession of delightful moments. When evening comes, savor the magic of dining in one of the hotel’ s two restaurants: The Cip's Club or the Fortuny. Hand-blown glass, precious materials, amber mirrors and magnificent views of the lagoon, make this an ideal place for a romantic candlelight dinner.
