Mandarin Oriental Expands Its Reach in Venice with San Clemente Palace Management Takeover
In a significant move for luxury hospitality, the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group has announced its management takeover of the San Clemente Palace Hotel in Venice. This iconic property is situated on a private, 12-acre island nestled within the Venetian lagoon, offering a serene escape from the bustling city.
The San Clemente Palace has undergone several brand transitions over the past years, having formerly operated as the St. Regis Venice San Clemente Palace and later as the San Clemente Palace Kempinski Venice. This latest acquisition marks a new chapter in the hotel’s illustrious history.
Upcoming Renovations and Features
Mandarin Oriental plans to operate the property under the name “San Clemente Palace Venice” until November of this year. Following this period, the hotel will close for an extensive three-phase renovation, with a grand reopening scheduled for April. The revamped hotel is anticipated to enhance the guest experience significantly.
Luxury Amenities Await
Once completed, the San Clemente Palace Venice will boast 136 elegantly designed rooms and four exquisite dining venues, each offering exceptional culinary experiences. Guests will also enjoy access to a state-of-the-art spa featuring multiple treatment rooms, a Finnish sauna, and a steam bath. Additional amenities will include:
- An outdoor swimming pool
- Dedicated courts for tennis and paddle sports
- A yoga pavilion for wellness enthusiasts
Mandarin Oriental’s Expanding Presence in Italy
The San Clemente Palace Venice will be the third property for Mandarin Oriental in Italy, complementing existing locations in Milan and Lake Como. Furthermore, the group has ambitious plans for further expansions in Rome, Cortina, and Porto Cervo, solidifying its position in the luxury market.
This exciting transformation of the San Clemente Palace Venice represents a refined commitment to luxury and service, promising guests an unparalleled experience in one of the most picturesque settings in the world.
