Hotel Cipriani :: That "Anniversary Facelift" Can't Come Soon Enough
June 25, 2008 at 2:06 PM | 0 Comments
Introducing our first submission for a Paula Abdul Hotel.
Earlier this month we wrote about how the Hotel Cipriani in Venice was undergoing an 50th "anniversary facelift", but too bad the Wall Street Journal's Finicky Traveler got there before the new look was completed.
Our fave hotel critic Laura Landro spent a few nights there and the opening of her review says it all:
Our suite at Venice's legendary Hotel Cipriani has stained mauve carpet, ratty faux-bamboo furniture and a platform bed looking into a whirlpool tub-for-two that seems not to have been scrubbed out since the 1970s. We feel positively transported -- to a honeymoon motel in the Poconos.

Cipriani Miami Update :: Blair Waldorf Will Love It
June 10, 2008 at 11:35 AM | 0 Comments
The Cipriani Ocean Resort and Club Residences in South Beach, the snooty-chic 209-room beach resort and private condo development, seems to still be on track for completion in mid-2009.
The 24-month construction project (which involves the restoration and revamp of the old Saxony property) will feature crazy Miami city and ocean views and some pretty baller amenities when all is said and done:
600 feet of pristine beachfront, a spa, fitness center, outdoor bar and grill, beach cabana food and beverage service, three swimming pools, a signature world famous Cipriani restaurant and as well as a grand ballroom.
We can't imagine room rates will be easily stomached by those of us whose idea of a splurge is buying a shirt from Banana Republic instead of Forever21, but the website already has some fairly stunning photos of the resort that make us long to be the rich WASP-y type or the overprivileged hyper-trendy type. We'd bet Blair Waldorf would book a room here in a red hot second.
Check out a rendering of the exterior after the jump.
