Cipriani, a Belmond hotel, Venice is now closed for the season and will re-open this spring. Cipriani, a Belmond Hotel in Venice, is truly the stuff of legend. A host of colorful characters and engaging stories make up the history of this relaxing haven. They start with Giuseppe Cipriani, who founded the hotel on leafy Giudecca Island, just five minutes from St Mark's Square by courtesy shuttle launch. Giuseppe was the founder of Harry's Bar and inventor of the peachy Bellini cocktail. Shortly after opening the Cipriani in 1958, he was welcoming glamorous guests from Yves Saint Laurent to Sophia Loren.
