Italy's Best Hotel Spa 2020

The Merchant of Venice SPA at San Clemente Palace Kempinski in Venice is the first wellness area to offer treatments created by The Merchant of Venice. The formulas are studied to take customer on sensory journeys to discover the traditional recipes imported to Venice from the Far East. Rosa Moceniga, a rare species imported from China, sandalwood and bergamot, are some of the precious essential oils that characterize aromatherapy massages.

The unique Splendor Anti-age gold face treatment is based on eleven 24K gold hand-made leaves applied along with two vitamin E serums to give radiance and reduce the signs of aging. 

The SPA covers two floors of a building adjacent to the hotel, reopened in 2016 by Kempinski, a historic brand of luxury accommodation. It includes a moisturising area – Finnish Sauna, Turkish Bath, and Emotive Showers - a relaxing lounge, a wellness area and four treatment rooms.
