San Clemente Palace Kempinski Venice, a proud member of the Leading Hotels of The World, is located on the private Island of San Clemente in Venice, just 10 minutes away from Piazza San Marco by one of the hotel's complimentary boats. The boat ride is an exceptional experience as you’ll cross the historic waters of Venice. San Clemente Island is a private island and may not be reached by public transportation: only the hotel’s own boats and water taxi services may access this outstanding Venetian retreat.
