The Hotel Cipriani, created to provide the very best of Venetian hospitality, incorporates the most luxurious accommodation, the most attentive service and the finest cuisine in an atmosphere of calm and seclusion.

The Bauer Hotel located within sight of San Marco Square, with the unique breathtaking view of the lagoon, an enchanting corner of the Grand Canal, is run today like the most elegant, romantic and private Venetian Palazzo.

Established as a hotel 100 years ago, this fifteenth-century palace was renovated in 1993. Located in the heart of the old city of Venice, it offers all modern facilities in a romantic, old world atmosphere.

This luxuriously-appointed hotel will appeal to both business and leisure travellers who want to stay outside the city in the peaceful atmosphere of the Veneto countryside.

Housed in a splendid fourteenth-century palace, this hotel offers its fortunate guests furnishings befitting its history, a typical Venetian courtyard, and a location just a few minutes from St Mark's Square.

The palace (a title more apt than hotel) re-opened last year following an $8million renovation. The result is a triumph of Italian neo-classical design, a world of consummate luxury where Aubusson carpets contrast with the brilliant mosaic floor and glass pays homage to the unique Venetian light.

A modern, spacious hotel with recently refurbished guestrooms and many amenities, it is located 15 kilometres from Marco Polo airport and offers a shuttle service to ferry points from where visitors may travel to the city and to the surrounding districts.
