Restaurants and bars

The San Clemente Palace Kempinski Venice has a number of dining and tippling options:

Acquerello Restaurant is the hotel's gourmet dining room, with special emphasis on Adriatic seafood and Venetian cuisine.

Insieme Restaurant is more informal, with a "market-like setting" that appeals to families. (It doubles as the hotel's indoor-outdoor breakfast room.)

La Dolce Pool Bar Restaurant & Grill is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. during the warmer months and has an "elegant casual" ambience.

The San Clemente Bar is open during the cocktail hour and after dinner for apéritifs, wines, and snacks.
