San Clemente Palace Kempinski

Nestled on a magical private island in a Venetian lagoon, the San Clemente Palace Kempinski is located just 10 thrilling minutes from the hustle and bustle of St. Mark’s Square, yet serene and secluded. This truly unique 12th-century resort hotel is a scenic enclave with 15 acres (6 hectares) of lush, fragrant gardens, unparalleled views of the city’s skyline, the lagoon, and the boats navigating the canals.

Blessed with the luxury of space, the former monastery boasts three signature restaurants and three bars (including the largest “dining room” in Venice and the most romantic, private table of the city), antique courtyards, a historical church (known as one of the must-see chapels) and a wide variety of leisure activities. Facilities include a heated outdoor pool, spa area with Finnish sauna and Turkish steam bath, treatment rooms, tennis court, 2-hole Pitch & Putt golf course, jogging paths, and a complimentary Kid’s club.

All accommodations feature high ceilings, classical décor, enchanting Venetian terrazzo floors, Murano glass, fine wallpapers, and Italian marble bathrooms.
