Dior has just opened a spa at Hotel Cipriani, based in Venice, as part of its ongoing collaboration with Belmond. This comes after a multiphase renovation of the hotel by Peter Marino Architect.
Venice was always close to the heart of the designer Christian Dior, who in 1951 attended the “Ball of the Century” there hosted by Charles de Beistegui. Of that costume ball, Dior said: “It was the most beautiful evening of my life, and one that I will never experience again. The deep Italian night made this nocturnal display eternal.”
The Dior brand continues to be closely linked with the Italian city. It financed the Porta Magna’s restoration and participates regularly in the Art Biennale, for instance.
Marino designed this first Dior spa, focused on well-being, in Venice.
The two-story location hosts five treatment rooms, including one double; a relaxation lounge, and boutique carrying Dior perfumes, skin care and makeup. Also available there is the new Dior Haute Wellness collection.

“Inviting guests to continue the wellness routines at home in a holistic and integrative way, it focuses on three universes: slow movement, with accessories for practicing yoga and Pilates; mindfulness, with objects dedicated to journaling, meditation or breathwork, and finally sleep, with weighted blankets, sleep masks and pillowcases,” Dior said in a statement.
The spa’s menu includes three exclusive signature treatments. There is the Mascarade face protocol; the Grand Bal protocol for hair, face, makeup and nails, and the Théâtre Corporel, a four-handed body treatment.
Two holistic experiences, created with international wellness experts, are on offer, too. The Self Alignment Cruise was created with Rose Ferguson, a nutritionist and functional medicine practitioner. The multisensory Grounding Slow Movement Therapy experience was developed by Pilates coach Bryony Deery.
