San Clemente Palace Kempinski

Astonishing quality in details, customer attention and service. Top level personnel, from Check-in desk to Room Service. And the magic of Venice.

Beautiful property and the staff was very attentive. It was a nice respite from the crowds in Venice. We also enjoyed an excellent dinner at the hotel with a wonderful view of the lagoon. Breakfast was also spectacular. All around wonderful experience.

From the moment we were greeted at the door by the hotel manager to our warm reception and orientation by Manuela, our stay could not have been more perfect. The Palace experience is like being in a Slim Aaron’s photo. Warm blues, whites, rich greens of the gardens, every color of happiness. The grounds abound with magic, shaded lunch areas,a pool of Murano glass tiles that sparkle blue and look like diamonds underwater, imaginative hole golf ,jogging trail, Italian bikes to traverse the grounds. The Longevity Spa treatments will recharge you, the magnificent food will fuel you, and the magnificent staff will cater to your every need. Love them and they will not disappoint, we have never been treated more royally in our whole lifetime. We travelled as grandparents with young adult grandchildren of 18 and 21, all agree with the above. My only regret is that our combined age of 165 will limit our return, but there’s always a chance and a dream.

San Clemente Palace is a sanctuary of art and history, floating just minutes from the heart of Venice. From the moment our boat taxi pulled up to the island, we knew we were somewhere extraordinary. The grounds are absolutely breathtaking - lush gardens, a 1,000 year old church, contemporary art, Venetian style....yep, all present and accounted for. So while the ferry to Venice is frequent and easy, but the beauty of the island makes you want to stay and savor the moment. Our room was beautifully appointed and offered a view of the lagoon. The staff was gracious, warm and attentive - without being intrusive. The included breakfast service is outstanding! The pool is a dream. If you’re looking for an unforgettable stay in Venice, this is the place.

From the minute you walk off the boat to the moment you leave the staff could not be more amazing. The building is what you imagine it will be when you read “Palace” in the name The restaurant is very under used by guests and that is a shame as the food is outstanding. The rooms are so quiet you feel you are the only people in the hotel. It is a perfect calm oasis away from the bustle of Venice. The 10 minute free shuttle is great and always on time This is truly a 5 star hotel and I cannot recommend this highly enough.
