22. Sarah Lamb as Princess
Aurora in The Sleeping Beauty
BALLET The Sleeping Beauty
While it is undoubtedly sublime entertainment, The Sleeping Beauty is
also a work of profound artistic importance. Scored by Tchaikovksy,
it was created for the Tsarist court by Petipa, the choreographer who is
to ballet what Shakespeare is to theatre. This Royal Ballet production
reconstructs the 1946 Sadler’s Wells revival and incorporates the
additional choreography of three generations of great British artists –
Frederick Ashton, Anthony Dowell and Christopher Wheeldon. The
costumes and choreography are every bit as dreamlike and sumptuous
as a fairy tale should be, and the Rose Adagio scene – in which
Princess Aurora dances with four suitors at her birthday party before
a curse sends her into a 100-year slumber – is magical. Akane Takada
and Tamara Rojo are among the ballerinas taking on the title role.
22nd October to 21st December at the Royal Opera House
FILM The Ides of March
Besides exhibiting his effortless charm and devastating good looks
in front of the camera, George Clooney has also proved himself an
accomplished director. He won an Oscar nomination for Good Night,
and Good Luck, an involving tale of McCarthyism in the 1950s shot
in black and white, and in The Ides of March – which Clooney both
directs and stars in – he again shows how to create engaging drama
Ryan Gosling in The Ides of March from hard-hitting political issues. The subject is the tough choices
that idealistic politicians have to make, and that eternal question:
what dark deeds must you commit in order to achieve power and
do good? Clooney plays the man with his eyes on the White House,
Ryan Gosling is the aide experiencing a rapid “getting of wisdom” on
the campaign trail, while Philip Seymour Hoffman, Paul Giamatti
and Jeffrey Wright exhibit various degrees of Machiavellian virtuosity
in the dark art of politics. If you still miss The West Wing, here’s what
you’ve been waiting for.
The Ides of March opens on 28th October in the UK
FILM The Three Musketeers
The swash and buckle of this classic novel by Alexander Dumas is
given a Pirates of the Caribbean-style makeover to pull in a whole new
audience in this $80m production. It is still the familiar story, set in
17th-century France, of the young upstart D’Artagnan falling in with
the famous Three Musketeers to foil the wicked plans of Cardinal
Richelieu and Milady de Winter, but now with a whole new level of
action and technology. In this version, battles are fought in the air
between gun-laden balloon ships, and Milady (Milla Jovovich) uses
spectacular martial-arts skills against her enemies. The cast offers
the relishable prospect of Inglourious Basterds’ Christoph Waltz as
Richelieu, showing there’s no one better at playing cackling villainy,
as well as the intriguing sight of Orlando Bloom playing against type
as the devious Duke of Buckingham.
Arctic Monkeys The Three Musketeers opens on 12th October in the UK
MUSIC Arctic Monkeys
The Arctic Monkeys exploded onto the scene a few years back with a
historic double-header – reaching number one with their first single,
“I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor”, followed by Whatever People
Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not – the fastest-selling debut album ever in
the British charts. The hard-punching combination of guitars, bass,
drums and singer Alex Turner’s cruelly barbed lyrics was fresh and
vibrant, yet the Sheffield quartet’s cocksure strut also echoed past pop

glories. This year, they released their fourth studio album, Suck It and
See, and might be thought pop-rock elder statesman, were they not only
in their mid-20s. This concert at The O2 will be proof that rock’n’roll
is alive and well, so long as you know where to look. Support comes
from The Vaccines, another critically acclaimed British quartet who
know their way around lyrics, riffs and melody in a pared-down style.

Vanessa Redgrave and
James Earl Jones in
Driving Miss Daisy
THEATRE Driving Miss Daisy
A period drama rich in humour and emotional power, Driving Miss
Daisy won the Best Film Oscar in 1989. Now it returns to the stage in
a production that’s already won stellar notices on Broadway. Set among
the Deep South’s genteel society during the height of the civil-rights
movement, this is the story of a septuagenarian white woman, Miss
Daisy, and her black driver, Hoke, and how their relationship changes
over that turbulent period. Oscar winner Vanessa Redgrave brings a
regal bearing to Miss Daisy, while as Hoke, James Earl Jones reminds us
why he is one of the most acclaimed US stage actors of recent decades.
Until 17th December at Wyndham’s Theatre
BOOK Queen Elizabeth II: Portraits by
Cecil Beaton by Susanna Brown
The same vision of style that enabled Cecil Beaton to capture 20th-
century fashion also made him a fine royal portrait photographer.
He first took shots of Queen Elizabeth II as a teenager in uniform
during her wartime service, and went on to create definitive images
of her coronation in 1953 and of her as a royal mother. Next year,
to mark the 60th anniversary of the Queen’s ascension to the throne,
the Victoria and Albert Museum will be exhibiting Beaton’s portraits
of the Queen. This lavishly illustrated accompanying book, by
curator Susanna Brown, explores how Beaton captured rare glimpses
of the private individual behind the world’s most public figure.
£19.99. Available from Books, Second Floor
BOOK Heston Blumenthal at Home
by Heston Blumenthal
Those lucky enough to have dined at Heston Blumenthal’s Berkshire
restaurant, The Fat Duck, know why it was voted the world’s best.
It has given rise to some imaginative creations – caviar and white
chocolate discs and a flaming sorbet, to name but two. To watch
Blumenthal’s kitchen adventures on TV, you might have thought that
a cautionary note would be, “Don’t try this at home”, but that’s exactly
what he helps us do in his new book. It features techniques that
adapt molecular gastronomy for the ordinary kitchen, and among the
150-plus recipes are such surprising taste combinations as salmon and
liquorice, as well as a lesson on how to make perfect fish and chips.
£30. Available from Books, Second Floor
FILM Contagion
Remember the sprawling 1970s disaster movies, such as The
Towering Inferno, in which a host of stars struggle to survive? Well,
Driving Miss Daisy Annabel Clark; frame iStock; Queen Elizabeth II portrait V&A Images
Contagion gives the format a medical reboot. This time, the disaster
is an airborne virus, and Kate Winslet, Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow,
Matt Damon and Marion Cotillard are among those facing this
lethal threat. The trailer has already caused a sensation, and the film
– from Steven Soderbergh (who directed the star-studded Ocean’s
Eleven and its sequels, as well as the compelling war-on-drugs drama
Traffic) – promises to be as gripping as anything you’ve seen this year.
Contagion opens on 21st October in the UK
FILM The Adventures of Tintin:
Secret of the Unicorn
This much-anticipated action-adventure film comes from something
of a dream team. Daniel Craig and Jamie Bell lead an all-star cast, the
director is Steven Spielberg, the producer Peter “Lord of the Rings”
Jackson, and special effects come from the team responsible for Avatar.
In other words, this is a class apart from the 3D animated family films
of recent years. Adapted from Hergé’s much-loved comic books, the
film stars Bell as intrepid reporter Tintin, on the trail of treasure stolen
by pirate Red Rackham (Craig). With Tintin, Spielberg brings to the
screen a hero whose adventures match the thrills of Indiana Jones.

46. are so many routes to Burberry. These days a brand has to be about
much more than just selling. Otherwise your brand just becomes a
product. I have always thought that you have to make sure that, at
the heart of your brand, there’s more than just product.”
Burberry experiences are currently as follows: Burberry Facebook
has more than seven million fans; Burberry YouTube videos have
been watched by five million people globally; Burberry Art of the
Trench (a social media project that displays photos of fans in their
trench coats) has had 11 million page views; Burberry Acoustic
(a showcase for young British bands) has over eight million fans;
Burberry.com is translated into five languages and is accessible in 45
countries; there are over 300,000 followers on Twitter. Is it hard, I
wonder, for Bailey to keep up with all the traffic that he is creating?
“I embrace that side of social media,” he says. “I love that it’s a
two-way conversation. I don’t read it all – I dip in and out. You
couldn’t look at every single thing. I care about it, but I don’t worry
about ‘comments’, because as soon as you start obsessing about
them, you lose your focus and your point of view, and you’re just
worrying too much about what other people think. I’m not seriously
expecting everyone to like everything we do. It’s just not possible.”
True to his Yorkshire roots, Bailey is straight-talking and for a
fashion bod, refreshingly level-headed. Born in Halifax, the son
of a joiner and a window-dresser, he went directly from London’s
Royal College of Art in 1993 to New York to work for Donna
Karan. Three years later, he became senior designer for Tom Ford
at Gucci. In 2001, at the age of just 29, Bailey took up the reins
of Creative Director at Burberry. Between 2002 and 2011, the
company has grown from being worth £1.1bn to nearly £6bn. The
tired little English label has had a miraculous turnaround, thanks
largely to Bailey’s vision, together with that of Angela Ahrendts,
Burberry’s current CEO.
“I had no reservations about taking the job at Burberry,” Bailey
says. “I saw the potential almost immediately. The brand was like
a huge, incredible diamond that had been trodden into the ground
over the years – a bit dusty and dirty. All we had to do was shine
each of the facets to make it beautiful again. I had a strong sense
that the brand had gravitas. Angela and I had a shared vision, but
we didn’t create the gravitas. Thomas Burberry was an incredibly
innovative man. He understood design and function, and
communicating to people. Burberry had gravitas already; it just
needed translating.”
Burberry’s history stretches back 155 years, to when a 21-year-old
Thomas Burberry opened his first store in Basingstoke, specialising
in outerwear. During the First World War, Burberry’s gabardine
rain-resistant coats proved a lighter, more practical option to the
heavy serge greatcoats that were standard issue, and thus the trench
coat was born. During the 20th century, the Burberry trench coat
led the brand from its zenith during the 1940s and 1950s, when
it was iconic movie-star garb, to its nadir in the 1990s, when the
brand became almost mired in its own history. In 1997, Burberry
hired Rose Marie Bravo as CEO, and the company’s fortunes
changed. In 2001, Bailey came on board and, just a year later, the
company went public on the London Stock Exchange.
Between 2002 and 2006, the company’s profits quadrupled.
Bravo’s successor, Ahrendts, has worked with Bailey on Burberry’s
focus, ensuring that the heritage is relevant for a new generation.
“It’s been my philosophy since I started here that Burberry
needed to exist in a contemporary world,” explains Bailey.
“We needed to use the history and the culture, our 155 years’
worth of stories, as the foundation, but we needed to communicate
46 Harrods Magazine • harrods.com

47. it in a modern way. Nobody is interested in just old stuff,
but people love heritage. They want the history reconstructed
according to how they live now.”
Bailey’s reconstruction of the Burberry brand starts with product.
Every season, a new incarnation of the Burberry trench appears in
the Prorsum show – too many incarnations now to even imagine;
in pastel-pink ruched silk; with leather biker sleeves; with a fur cape
in orange tweed. But the story only begins here. Bailey says that one
third of his job is coming up with ideas, one third is executing the
ideas, and the final third is making sure the context is right. And the
context is where the technology comes in.
“I think of Burberry as an old/young company. It’s 155 years
old, but the team is really young, so technology is embedded in
the culture. Everybody communicates on a mobile device and is
obsessed with the internet. I’m obsessed with the internet and I’m
not even young. No one can stop it, and it’s faster than all of us.
That is the future.” The fact that Bailey has mastered the mix of
classic and contemporary in each garment is skilled enough in
fashion terms. The fact that each collection dictates at least some
of the world’s key trends every season is testament in part to his
global reach and belief in fashion democracy.
“I hate the ‘exclusive’ mentality,” he states. “I look at it and
think, What is that about? I’m much more comfortable with
‘inclusive’. I’m very open about the fact that not everybody can
afford a Burberry trench coat. But that doesn’t mean they’re not
good enough to be part of the Burberry club. I can’t afford a private
jet, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to look at them. I don’t care
if someone visits our website and just stays on Burberry Acoustic

It’s all slightly nonsense. So we think global – but we’ve always
thought global. Thomas Burberry had a store in Buenos Aires
100 year ago. Ten years ago we had over 20 stores in China –
that was before anyone else even started thinking about China.”
But despite the unprecedented success that Burberry has enjoyed,
and Bailey’s absolute belief in the power of the internet, some
stalwarts of the fashion industry refuse to embrace it. “The internet
doesn’t suit everyone,” Bailey concedes. “Some brands might not
have the right culture. And it’s not something you can just play at.
Either do it properly or don’t bother. Some people are afraid of the
internet. If you haven’t grown up with it, it’s daunting. They open

A killer dress is an essential part of a woman’s wardrobe
arsenal. Nobody knows this better than Antonio Berardi.
Curve-caressing, sensual dresses are an integral part of the
Anglo-Sicilian designer’s repertoire, and his contemporary,
confident version of sexy has won him an enviable following
of red-carpet darlings including Beyoncé, Gwyneth Paltrow,
Victoria Beckham and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.
Berardi’s designs are a celebration of womanhood, playing
on the fact that there is nothing more powerful than
unadulterated femininity. It’s a suitable metaphor, therefore,
that his AW11 collection was inspired by armour. The result
is a tour-de-force collection that sees Berardi show off his deft
tailoring skills on impeccably cut cocktail dresses with lace
panels and intricately embellished evening gowns, as well as
origami folds and form-fitting panelling.
In a season where a masculine mood dominates, sometimes
you just can’t beat the eternal allure of an oh-so-sexy, utterly
feminine dress – and for that, there’s nobody quite like Berardi.

There is a growing trend for beauty products that
multitask, such as foundations that incorporate anti-
ageing technology, or hi-tech skincare in a tinted
moisturiser. The latest product from Natura Bissé
is one such hard-working wonder. The Cure Sheer
Eye is first and foremost an anti-ageing eye cream,
but it also offers concealing coverage. One of its key
ingredients is a special peptide complex designed
to modulate sirtuin – a naturally occurring enzyme
whose production is linked to regulating healthy
skin cells. Alongside this are botanical extracts of
water lily and ivy, a vitamin-rich bio-technological
extract, and a Caffeine-Carnitine Complex. This
cutting-edge formula, combined with a light
concealer which cleverly adapts to your skin tone,
will reduce the appearance of fine lines, puffiness
and dark circles, as well as make the delicate skin
around the eye area feel firmer. 15ml, £80

FOUR ROSES
Four Roses’ Master Distiller Jim Rutledge was a member of
the inaugural class of the Bourbon Hall of Fame, is a former
Ambassador of the Year for American Whiskies and is known
in the industry as Mr Four Roses. When his bosses in Kentucky
go to bed at night they can sleep soundly; they have hired the
best man in the business.
The Four Roses story is a romantic one, as alluring as the
distiller’s smooth sipping whisky that has been an American
favourite for more than 100 years. The story goes that when
the company’s founder, Paul Jones Jr, proposed to a beautiful
Southern belle, he was told that he would know she had accepted
if she wore roses at the upcoming grand ball. When she did,
Paul was so elated that he later decided to name his whisky
after the four roses she wore on her gown.
Expertly refined over the decades, Four Roses’ distillation
process differs from that of the rest of the industry and focuses on
the gentle maturation of each barrel in one-of-a-kind single-storey
rack warehouses. It is a unique innovation that allows the bourbon
to age gently inside the barrels in a uniform fashion while
remaining undisturbed throughout the years, and the result is
a collection of three much-respected bourbons: the Four Roses
Single Barrel, the Yellow Label, and the Four Roses Small Batch.
Each of these multi-award-winning whiskies has found fans all
over the world, but for something extra-special, connoisseurs
keep coming back to Four Roses Single Barrel. With hints of
ripe plum and cherry in the mouth, and spicy aromas that
include maple syrup and cocoa, it is a very tough act to follow.
AMRUT
The jewel in the crown of Indian whisky, Amrut is a multi-award-
winning distillery that only produces single malts. Geography,
climate and a slightly different way of doing things give Amrut
whiskies an elegance all their own. This is whisky, tropical style,
made from select Indian malted barley distilled in small batches
to preserve the natural aromas.
Aged in imported oak barrels for more than three years at
an altitude of 3,000ft, the whisky matures intensely thanks to
year-round sun, with the result that all five whiskies in the Amrut
signature range are award winners. Amrut’s Peated Indian Single
Malt, for example, won a Liquid Gold Award in Jim Murray’s
2010 Whisky Bible. On the tongue, it brings an immediate
sensation of molassed sugar and spices, while its finish hints
at butterscotch vanillas. Amrut’s Fusion Single Malt – named
World Whisky of the Year at the 2011 Malt Advocate Whisky
Awards – regularly impresses critics with its heavy, thickly oaked
and complex nose, smoke, peat, sherry trifle and chocolate fudge
in the mouth, and a spicy finish.
In addition to the five key single malts in the Amrut range,
a selection of more exclusive, special-edition whiskies is also
available – such as the Amrut 100, which is made in unusually
Whisky glass, opposite page iStockphoto
small 100-litre casks, and which whisky writer Dominic Roskrow
described as “utterly unforgettable and irresistible”.
Interestingly, Amrut was not created with the intention of
making it available to the Indian market, but demand was so great
that it was eventually released in Bangalore in February 2010.
Today, it is helping to make sure that India’s place on the world
whisky map is assured.

SULLIVANS COVE
British visitors to Tasmania often arrive with a sense of having
been there before. In most cases, they haven’t – but there’s a
comforting familiarity about the country’s craggy coastlines,
rugged mountains and glacial lakes; this is Scotland in all
but name, a place well suited to the making of whisky.
Sullivans Cove is the most celebrated of Tasmania’s distillers,
its whiskies handcrafted from the finest barley and pure soft water
sourced only on the island. These local ingredients, combined with
a little Aussie ingenuity and some old-fashioned techniques, have
created a highly distinctive and full-flavoured natural whisky.
Bottling only single malts, Sullivans Cove is very much a
boutique distillery, and its whiskies can be hard to come by –
which only makes finding them even more of an occasion.
A super-premium product, it has an artisanal feel to it, with
each bottle filled and labelled by hand. Such attention to detail
extends, of course, to the golden liquid inside – every whisky is
selected from only the best barrels, and no chill filtering, colours
or flavours are used. This dedication to quality has served the
company well; its whiskies have twice won the Best Rest of the
World (outside Scotland) category at the World Whisky Awards,
and are the recipients of two Liquid Gold awards. Commenting
on Sullivans Cove’s American Oak Bourbon Cask Matured whisky,
French critic Grégoire Sarafian said it was the best of its kind that
he had ever tried, and awarded it 98 out of 100.
Two other whiskies complete the range: the Double Cask and
the rather special French Oak Port Cask Matured – two acclaimed
spirits from the southern edge of the world, lovingly crafted by
distillers driven by the pursuit of quality, not quantity.
JIM BEAM
It’s no coincidence that the best-selling bourbon in the world has
been cared for by the same family since 1795. They like to refer to
this heritage as “seven generations of unreasonable men”, with half
a tongue in cheek – but there’s no getting around the fact that
those who look after Jim Beam are serious about their business.
You just don’t mess with history.
Originated in 1795 by Jacob Beam, the brand was given the
name of Jim Beam in 1933 in honour of James B Beam, who
rebuilt the business after the end of Prohibition. The brand’s
whiskies all still feature a strain of yeast used since this time,
along with water filtered naturally by the limestone shelf found
in central Kentucky. Aged in rackhouses that sit exposed to
Kentucky’s hot, humid summers and chilly winters, the bourbon
is matured naturally to develop its flavours.
Jim Beam’s signature whisky is its Kentucky Straight Bourbon,
which is aged in charred new American white oak barrels for at
least two years. No artificial colours or sweeteners are involved in
the process – all of its colour and flavours come from the charred
oak, as is the case with Jim Beam Black, a premium whisky that
spends six years in the barrel (its Original White is aged for four
years) and emerges with an extra kick that makes it ideal for creating
cocktails. Awarded a Double Gold rating at the 2009 San Francisco
World Spirits Competition, Jim Beam Black regularly attracts praise
for its deep nose: a mix of caramel, cinnamon, oak and vanilla, which
precedes a full-bodied taste and a long, smooth, soothing finish.
Those in the know recommend Jim Beam Black straight up over
ice, with ginger ale, or as the ultimate base for a classic Whisky
Sour, with fresh lemon juice and sugar. Any way you take it,
there can be no mistaking the taste of pure Americana in a glass.

CANADIAN CLUB
Life in America in the mid 19th century catered well to the
appetites of the rough and ready pioneers who were trying to
carve out a new existence there. Its whiskies, accordingly, were
designed to suit what might kindly be called a “straightforward”
palate, but across the border in Canada, things weren’t quite so
boisterous, and the country’s whiskies have long reflected a more
mellow atmosphere.
The roots of Canadian Club, one of the country’s most celebrated
and historic brands, can be traced back to one such typically
pioneering American named Hiram Walker, a well-travelled man
whose voyages through Europe and the USA had given him first-
hand experiences of the production processes of Scotch and Irish
whisky as well as bourbon. He went on to buy 468 acres in Canada
and by 1858 was distilling whisky of his own, experimenting
all the time before it became evident that the bottles he sold as
“club” whisky – intended for upmarket gentlemen’s clubs and golf
courses – was his golden goose. Lighter than Scotch and smoother
than bourbon, it provided the backbone for Canadian Club as
it is today, a brand that currently has a range of seven whiskies,
renowned for their bright golden colour, smooth light body and
spicy, zesty taste, with hints of wood and vanilla.
Differing from both bourbon and Scotch in that it is made
using a high percentage of rye grain, Canadian Club is the
only whisky in the world that is blended before ageing in white
oak barrels. This allows for the best possible “marrying” of
flavours during the maturation process, resulting in exceptional
smoothness. It was also the gangster’s choice during the
Prohibition era, but that’s another story…
BUFFALO TRACE
Privately owned, and, in the words of its CEO Mark Brown,
“with no pencil pushers in charge”, legendary American distillery
Buffalo Trace is on a quest to make the ultimate bourbon – and
is in the perfect position to do so.
Some say they have already got there with an extraordinary
range of whiskies to suit every taste and pocket; but that search
for perfection, for being even better than their 200 awards suggest,
is at the very heart of this Kentucky institution.
The centuries-old company began “experimenting” in 1987,
deconstructing the manufacturing process to see what each
component of the whisky was bringing to the table. Their
tinkering has resulted in several remarkable success stories that
have been released in small batches to the public. The ones that
weren’t so good were discarded, lesson learned – as was the case
with the company’s experimental barley whisky, for example.
“After six years in the barrel, it tasted terrible,” says Brown. “After
four more, it tasted awful. We took it all the way to 19 years before
we decided not to inflict it on the public.”
It is this passion for perfection that has helped make Buffalo Trace
such a global hit among whisky aficionados. Made from the finest
Kentucky and Indiana corn, selected rye, and superior malted barley,
its whiskies have won awards for their complex aromas and long, dry
Canadian Club whisky image Getty
finishes. With whiskies aged for a minimum of four or five years, as
well as those quietly aged for up to 18 years, the distinctive range
includes such classics as Sazerac Rye, Sazerac 18, Thomas H Handy
and George T Stagg, all generally accepted as some of the world’s
finest whiskies and encapsulating the know-how, history and love
of a much-admired American brand.

...and there are the amazing
festivals of Thailand
Loi Krathong festival, Chiang Mai
Thailand is a festive Kingdom, celebrating hundreds of local and national
holidays and festivals each year. Thai festivals are varied, ranging from
traditional cultural celebrations to more modern sporting events, fashion
shows & concerts. But the two most popular and well-known are Songkran
and Loi Krathong.
Each November, on the night of the full moon, Thailand celebrates Loi
Krathong during which the country’s waterways are illuminated by floating
lanterns filled with flowers, candles & incense. In northern Thailand they
celebrate by making ‘merit’ using sky lanterns (pictured) which is also
known as Yi Peng festival.
Songkran, Thai New Year, held in mid-April, is also water based. Traditional
festivities include the ritual of bathing Buddha images & paying respect to
elders but more modern celebrations now include full scale, fun-filled water
fights across the country, popular with locals and tourists alike.

of Santa Maria della Salute, built in honour of the Virgin, who is believed to
have delivered Venice from the plague. Celebration season culminates in the
magnificent Venice Carnival in February, an array of festivities that includes
water parades, theatrical shows and masquerade balls.
Some tourist restaurants and shops close during the low season, but the
authentic Venetian bàcari, or wine bars, still serve cichèti (small, tapas-like
dishes) to hungry locals. While some hotels put up the shutters, many
boutique properties, like the tranquil Ca Maria Adele and the romantic
Palazzo Barbarigo, continue to offer accommodation, often at significantly
lower prices than in high season.
Viewing the works of artists like Titian and Tintoretto in the city’s
churches and museums – a struggle in the crowded summer months – is also
easier out of season. Many museums that previously closed for restoration
during low season are now open year-round. One unmissable collection is
the International Modern Art Gallery at Ca’ Pesaro. Its display of works by
Chagall, Kandinsky, Matisse and Moore is better enjoyed in solitude. Also LEFT A view of St Mark’s

value than a hotel for a large family, and is infinitely more stylish, with roof-
terrace views over waterways and secret gardens. Shopping in small stores
nearby and pausing in local bars and cafés offers a more authentic experience
in the off season as well. Another good area to consider staying in is the
unspoiled Dorsoduro, which is only a short walk from St Mark’s Square.
Even in season there are ways to escape the crowds. The legendary Hotel
Cipriani occupies a spacious site on Giudecca island, which is a short boat
ride from San Marco. The suites in the Cipriani’s Palazzo Vendramin
command a view across the water to the Doge’s Palace and the Riva degli
Schiavoni. There is also a heated, Olympic-size swimming pool – the only
one in central Venice – a fitness centre, spa, tennis court and private boat.
It is in winter and early spring that many of the best parties are thrown,
and access to these can often be arranged by hotel concierges, including
some of those associated with the Venice Biennale’s art festival, which runs
until the end of November. No one entertains quite like the Venetians. HMN
