Voted the best hotel in Europe, Asia Minor and the Russian Federation by Condé Nast Traveller readers in October 2005, the super-deluxe Hotel Cipriani gives you the best of both worlds: the privacy and luxury of a top-end resort with all the facilities and proximity to San Marco, just a cruise over the water.

After arriving on the hotel's 24-hour private boat, you might choose to have a drink in the garden overlooking the Lido and the lagoon. When you've visited your luxurious room with swish furnishings and giant marble sunken bath, you can take dinner in the formal Fortuny Restaurant in the main 1950s hotel or in the more casual (in terms of dress, not cost) Cip's whose fabulous terrace on the Canale della Giudecca faces the Piazza di San Marco. A daytime dip in the huge salt-water pool, which always hovers around a delicious 30°C (86°F), could be followed by tennis, or a massage in the Casanova spa and Bellini in the pool-side bar. After all, the cocktail was invented by Mr Cipriani. If you're staying in the slightly more private 15th-century Palazzo Vendramin or Palazzetto Nani-Barbaro, you could ask your butler to bring it to you.
