Hotel Cipriani, a legend in Venetian hospitality signed by Belmond, has been nominated the “Best Hotel of the World” according to the prestigious ranking of La Liste who, every year, selects one thousand of the most beautiful hotels across the globe. Hotel Cipriani’s ranking is hardly surprising for its secluded location far from the crowds of San Marco and the spotlight (in fact it is the retreat for those like George Clooney who seek peace away from the paparazzi), for the history and lifestyle it bears witness to, for the cuisine of the Porticciolo, restaurant on the water’s edge, or at the Cip’s Club floating on the Giudecca canal and for the frequent updates and creativity. This year, there is something new and it’s epic: the wonderful seawater swimming pool, previously reserved for guests, has four outdoor cabanas with butler service and a Bellini station, Cipriani’s signature cocktail. As you take a leisurely swim admire small islet of San Giorgio and the monuments of Piazza San Marco in the backdrop.
