St. Regis San Clemente Palace sets itself aside from other Venice properties with amenities like walking trails, a pool and tennis courts. It’s easy to relax and unwind just a short boat ride away from Venice.
St. Regis has opened a new property in Venice. They’ve taken over management of San Clemente Island, an ultra-exclusive destination that will make you see Venice from a completely different perspective.
It’s been quite a while since I’ve stayed at a Le Meridien hotel. If my memory serves me correctly, it was 6 years ago at Le Meridien Barcelona on La Rambla. It’s possible the brand standards have shifted since then, but I don’t think…
