Since the announcement of the impending wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez in Venice the odds have been on for where it will take place. Will they follow in George Clooney’s footsteps and take over the Aman and the Cipriani? Or will they have the nuptials on their yacht? Plus, where will their guests stay?
In truth, celebrities come and go in Venice. Yes, they leave behind a sprinkling of star dust in the air, encouraging those who follow trends towards one hotel or another, but those who know, know. In Venice, there are only two hotels that matter, even with the newly opened Four Seasons in the Danieli Palace and Airelles Venezia swinging wide its doors on Giudecca Island. They are The Gritti Palace and Hotel Cipriani, and both in my opinion, offer an experience among the best in the world.
