Here are a few of our favorite properties:
Hotel Cipriani, Venice
Gliding on the water in the slow ballet of boats, any arrival at Hotel Cipriani carries a cinematic mystery. Gaze across the lagoon at St Mark’s Square, enjoying all the intimacy of the island perch. With Michelin-star dining and unrivaled views of Venice, this is indulgence that knows no bounds. By day, take in the poolside scene while enjoying a Bellini, or find calm in nature as you wander through the sprawling private gardens. A serene home away from home, this careful blend of relaxation and artistry is why Hotel Cipriani is a true legend.
Romazzino, Sardinia
There are a multitude of fine sandy beaches and no one to walk on them. Green and gray mountains tumble into the sea, a carpet of purple and yellow, red and blue flowers perfume the air. Attributed to the hotel’s founder The Aga Khan IV in 1964, these words have captured the charismatic soul of the Costa Smeralda for decades – and today, we salute them. Romazzino gives villeggiatura a new meaning.
Hotel Caruso, Amalfi Coast
Between impossibly blue sea and sky sits Caruso, the 11th-century palace and the crown jewel of Ravello. This is a place of fairy tales, where original frescoes and vaulted ceilings converse with contemporary Italian flair. A place where Amalfi culture is alive and new ideas are formed. Here, you can savor aperitifs and fine dining, soundtracked to enchanting music, and enhanced with charming company. Paradise was never lost – it’s been hiding up here all along.
Grand Hotel Timeo, Taormina, Sicily
Here, old-world grandeur is punctuated with a cosmopolitan spirit. Long evenings on the panoramic terrace sparkle with cultured conversation and the lure of the sea is never far away. Authentic Sicilian warmth fills the walls and spills out into the stunning gardens, while signature cocktails and Michelin-starred dining satiate the taste buds. This was the first hotel to be built in Taormina, harnessing the history and mystique of nearby Mount Etna and Greek theater. This is a place where the old world and the new harmonize.
For those with a penchant for the extraordinary, Belmond’s train journeys provide an unparalleled way to explore landscapes in style. Imagine traversing the scenic routes of Peru on the Belmond Hiram Bingham, or indulging in the grandeur of the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, where classic elegance meets modern comfort. These trains offer not just transportation, but a moving experience that is as memorable as the destinations themselves.
Our favorite? The Venice Simplon-Orient-Express.
Enter a world of timeless glamor, where each carriage holds a new experience to be discovered. Your voyage begins on the platform of a famed European city, where historic carriages await your arrival. Meet the conductor, check your bags with the porters, and feel the excitement build. Between plush cabins and palpable history, you’ll be wined and dined in meticulously restored 1920s dining cars, before raising sparkling toasts in iconic Bar Car ‘3674’.
