A new "five-star" luxury grand hotel for an élite clientele in Venice, on the island of San Clemente, whose origins date back to 1131, the year the church of the same name was built. Over the course of the centuries this island, looking out onto the city itself, across to the Giudecca with the Lido in foreground, has jealously guarded its image as a warm and welcoming oasis of peace. Today’s complex, enhanced by open-air courtyards, retains all the charm and atmosphere of the ancient monastery of the Camaldolesi order, built in the second half of the seventeenth century. The Nobles: these elegant rooms hark back to the sumptuous, refined style of the palaces of the Venetian nobility. The Navigators: these attractive rooms with a frontal view of St. Mark’s Square are inspired by the seafarers who set sail in search of themselves and, having faced every challenge, eagerly returned to the comforts and security of their homes. The San Clemente Palace is able to accommodate up to 400 guests in 205 spacious rooms and suites with a wonderful view onto the surrounding lagoon and secular park. The majestically furnished decor is inspired by different motifs that recall the Serenissima Republic: The Doges: rooms where one can still breathe the opulence and era of when the doges were at the height of power in Venice. The Merchants: represented by precious fabrics, stylish accessories and furnishing, these rooms and suites express all the magnificence, eclecticism and wealth of the trade with the Orient.
