Hotel Cipriani, Venice, ITALY
Airing Date: Apr 24th, 2006
One of the world's most exclusive hotels.
The Cipriani is the ultimate Venetian luxury in the heart of the most romantic city on earth. Tom Cruise, Angelina Jolie, Robert De Niro are just a few of the Hollywood Celebrities that frequent this place. Opened in 1958, The Cipriani is one of Conde Nast's 5 best hotels. This experience is pure luxury from the moment you set foot on the Cip's private jetty.
Your bags will be checked right through to your room, and when you arrive in the foyer you'll be seated then fed canapes and French wines while a concierge checks you in without any queuing!!!
The two suites that are most frequented by the stars are the 'Dogaressa' and the 'Palladio' suites - these are the pinnacle of fashion and opulence, and there are views across to St. Marks.
Each room has its own banana lounges by the pool (two per room) and they sit by Venice's only Olympic sized pool. The addition of the Palazzo Vendramin annexe (connected to Hotel Cipriani through the Casanova Gardens) has added a further 7 deluxe apartments to Hotel Cipriani. These suites are serviced by butlers and offer absolute privacy as well as views over the Gardens and San Marco.
In April 1998 an additional 5 deluxe apartments were added in the adjoining Palazzetto, together with a small, intimate restaurant and floating pontoon, Cip's at the Palazzetto. This is Venetian accommodation at its absolute best. The views, the history and the people (including the sport of people watching) makes this one trip you'll never forget!
