Venice: Disappearing Act


The Hotel Cipriani in Venice has magic powers. Not only can they make boats disappear but as one of our art correspondents reports they are also good at making personal belongings vanish as well :

"We certainly didn't ask the hotel to move a yacht for us -- although that is a nice touch -- but once again prior to checking out we noticed that we had belongings missing. The Hotel Cipriani is very good at making valuable things disappear. This is the second time we have had this problem at the hotel. Shame on us. We have since talked to others who have encountered a similar problem at Ciprianis. So lock up your valuables if you choose to stay here. Besides being fleeced or 'misplacing our belongings', we did enjoy the hotels old world style and might even consider going back if we can find some cheap track suits to wear."

New York Post Online Edition:: "June 14, 2005 -- PAUL Allen needs to learn yacht etiquette. The billionaire cruised over to Bill and Donna Acquavella's party for the opening of the Lucian Freud exhibition at the Correr Museum in Venice earlier last week, but didn't pay attention to where he parked his huge vessel, the MV Octopus. A dinner guest said Allen was unexpectedly 'called away from the dinner table by the Venetian harbor master because his yacht had to be moved immediately. Apparently, it was blocking the view of the guests of the Hotel Cipriani where rooms start at $1,000 a night.' "
