San Clemente Palace Kempinski Venice, Italy
A place to long for: Venice, or “La Serenissima”, casts a spell unlike any other city in Europe and continues to fascinate travellers. Right on Venice’s doorstep, on San Clemente private island, the San Clemente Palace Kempinski will open its doors to guests on March 24. Lush gardens, antique court yards, a historic church built in the 12th century – set in a former monastery, this place takes guests on a journey in time, while Piazza San Marco is just ten minutes away by boat. 190 rooms and suites provide privacy and relaxation with views of the impressive skyline of Venice, the lagoon, the Lido or romantic courtyards and gardens. Classic decor, warm colours, traditional high ceilings and spacious hallways, meet typical Venetian elements which recall the buildings’ history. Three restaurants and three bars serve up culinary delights – perfectly in line with the traditions of Italian cuisine.
The private island boasts various leisure facilities and is perfect for relaxation and action alike: there is a tennis court and a pitch & putt golf course, a heated outside pool, a jogging trail and the Kempi kids’ club.
A unique combination of conference rooms, outdoor areas and proximity to lively Veniice makes san Clements an excellent coice for weddings, products presentations, incentive trips and all other kinds of meetings.
