About this hotel
San Clemente Palace Kempinski is an independent luxury hotel on the island of San Clemente, a short boat ride from central Venice. The property opened in 2003 and operates under the Kempinski brand, known for upscale European hospitality. The island setting offers quiet distance from Venice's crowded core while remaining accessible to the city's landmarks and attractions. The hotel draws guests seeking a more secluded base than the main island offers, with private water access and grounds that feel removed from foot traffic. In 2026, the property earned a Forbes Travel Guide designation, marking external recognition of its service and amenities. The combination of water-based arrival, island isolation, and brand positioning appeals to couples and travellers looking for both Venetian access and retreat.
