Hotel Cipriani, Venice: Rates, Season & How to Book
Five minutes by private launch from San Marco, and a world away: Venice's only true resort hotel.
By Biirdee Travel — Luxury Travel Concierge · Updated June 10, 2026
Giuseppe Cipriani (of Harry's Bar) built his hotel on Giudecca island in 1958 precisely so it would have what no Venice palazzo can: gardens, space, and the lagoon's only Olympic-size heated pool. The private mahogany launch shuttles you to San Marco in five minutes, around the clock — you get Venice when you want it and silence when you don't. It is the flagship of Belmond's portfolio and the property LVMH is investing in most heavily: Peter Marino's phased reimagining brings a reworked Oro restaurant and Venice's first Dior Spa in spring 2026.
The season runs roughly April through October — the hotel closes each winter — and within it, rates swing hard: June and September peak around €2,300+ entry; April and late October dip toward €1,300.
Booking the Cipriani Well
- Lagoon-view rooms in the main building are the classic; the Palazzo Vendramin annex suites add San Marco views across the water.
- April and the last two October weeks are the connoisseur's windows — full experience, lowest in-season rates.
- Arrive or depart by the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express — the brand pairs them deliberately and we sequence the two bookings.
- A Bellini Club-grade booking adds breakfast, a property credit and upgrade priority at the same rate as belmond.com.
- Compare honestly: Aman Venice is the palazzo experience; the Cipriani is the resort. Different trips.
