A 'Dining Room' Suspended Above the Pool
Orient Express, renowned for its luxurious resorts, rail journeys, and cruises worldwide, brings its summer tradition back to the prestigious Hotel Cipriani in the water city of Venice.
The world's most extraordinary "Dinner in the Sky" dining table is set on a platform measuring 5 meters by 9 meters. A large crane lifts this platform 50 meters above the Cipriani's swimming pool. Guests are seated in custom-made high chairs, enjoying their 'flight' under the strict supervision of experienced staff, ensuring a safe and thrilling experience.
Each flight accommodates 22 guests. The 180-degree rotating platform offers a culinary journey, alternating nightly between the creations of Cipriani's Executive Chef Renato Piccolotto and Chef Roberto Gatto from the hotel's Chips Restaurant. Diners can indulge in a meal seasoned with the ultimate spice – the 'sway' – an experience found nowhere else.
"Dinner in the Sky" is open to non-hotel guests as well. In addition to a one-hour dinner course featuring a starter, main, and dessert, including wine, there is also a 30-minute aperitif course with pre-dinner drinks and light snacks.
This exhilarating experience allows guests to savor the exquisite cuisine and wines of Cipriani while taking in the breathtaking panoramic views of Venice from 50 meters above. It's an opportunity to create unforgettable memories of a truly special night.
