Nestled along the coast of the Adriatic, Venice has long been considered one of the most romantic cities in the world. Once a city-state made wealthy by trade, this city of islands remains rich in culture, boasting many fine collections of art and other cultural treasures. It is among this backdrop that the Cipriani treats lovers to romantic repasts.
In this magical city, the Cipriani enjoys an enchanting setting: its own island at the mouth of the Grand Canal with views of the lagoon and the Basilica of San Giorgio. With 105 rooms in the main hotel and seven suites in the Palazzo Vendramin, Cipriani is a sensualist's oasis. Posh rooms pamper you in luxury, and each one is magically romantic. For a special treat, reserve one of the suites in Vendramin. Outside the hotel, you'll find Venice's most striking pool set amid lush gardens.
Another treat of staying here is the hotel's restaurant. You'll marvel at its architecture and decor that set it apart from others. Most dramatic is the steepled ceiling, and its arches which appear to hang without any support. Underneath these arches are tables appointed with white tablecloths, set with fine china and crystal, and adorned with fresh flowers. When not marveling at the ceiling, enjoy the view from one of the many windows draped with Fortuny curtains. It's in this setting that you'll enjoy a menu full of tempting dishes. For example, you might wish to try blinis Russian style with Scottish salmon for an appetizer followed by roasted monkfish perfumed with rosemary and served with sautéed eggplant. Meals at the Cipriani are remembered as romantic experiences, rich in visual and palatable treats.
