Palatial elegance
San Clemente is a private island in the Lagoon of Venice, just beyond La Giudecca. Private water taxis ferry guests to St Mark’s Square and the mainland, just 10 minutes away. The former monastery buildings are now the home of the exclusive five star resort, the San Clemente Hotel. With historic courtyards and grounds in a serenely peaceful setting, it makes a wonderful retreat in complete contrast to the bustling streets of Venice. This luxury hotel also has unique views across the water to the Lido, Giudecca Island and the Piazza San Marco.
The beautifully restored Camaldolesi Monastery makes the ideal location for this five-star luxury hotel resort. Sensitively restored to preserve the historical charm and art treasures as well as enjoying the natural beauty of the San Clemente Island, the hotel now offers an wonderful luxury escape, just minutes from the breathtaking sights of Venice.
The 200 guest rooms offer delightful themes such as ‘The Merchants’ with prized textiles and lavish decoration reminiscent of the booty brought back from the Orient to Venice. ‘The Navigators’ is in contrast a bright and breezy décor . ‘The Doges’ reflects the serious elegance of the powerful Doges and ‘the Nobles’ décor recaptures the dignified standards and antiques of a former life in Venice.
All the rooms of this luxury hotel are spacious with high ceilings and tall windows. Elegant traditional furniture and comfortable easy chairs make these gracious abodes feel like a home from home. Carved wooden bedheads, luxurious wall coverings and tasteful pictures make this a room to linger and relax in. The bathrooms are spacious and well appointed. Amenities are all first class including internet access, cable TV, a turn-down service and air conditioning.
The San Clemente Palace is one of the best luxury hotels in Venice for business guests with its business centre, bar, meeting rooms and multi-lingual concierge services. It offers the ideal location for large corporate events and social functions. A fitness centre and a beautiful outdoor pool from which to enjoy the magnificent lagoon views make a stay at this luxury hotel worth every penny. Dine on the mainland and return under the starlight or enjoy the excellent cuisine at one of the hotel’s excellent restaurants. As a Condé Nast Traveller Gold List 2008 recipient this is a luxury hotel in a unique location, perfect for a romantic getaway or a honeymoon in Venice.
