The story of @belmondhotelcipriani began in 1956, when Giuseppe Cipriani decided to build a hotel for jet-setting travellers. His dream was to create a haven close to St Mark’s Square, yet away from the city bustle. Just two years after the project began, glamorous guests were arriving in droves. More than 60 years on, and our slice of paradise continues to enchant. At Cipriani, you can expect to meet Roberto Senigaglia, often the face you see on arrival the hotel’s jetty. He has welcomed many stars during his 25 years at the hotel. He describes his “office” as “the best in the world”. #TheArtofBelmond #Venice #Italy
