On August 11, 2026, Belmond's Hotel Cipriani in Venice, Italy, confirmed the ongoing, multi-phase renovation led by Peter Marino. This extensive overhaul aims to reinforce the hotel’s standing as a premier destination, moving beyond its historical prestige.

Wallpaper* characterizes the Hotel Cipriani as one of Venice's 'most storied addresses,' emphasizing that the renovation demonstrates its 'no intention of coasting.' This perspective highlights a proactive strategy to maintain relevance in a competitive luxury market, rather than relying solely on its legacy.

Our take: The involvement of Peter Marino is a significant move. His distinct, often opulent yet refined, aesthetic promises to elevate Cipriani's interiors without sacrificing its intrinsic Venetian charm. This investment underlines Belmond's commitment to protecting and enhancing its most valuable assets, ensuring they remain compelling for discerning travelers who demand contemporary luxury alongside timeless elegance.
