Description

Under a name steeped in tradition, Kempinski – hoteliers since 1897 – has travelled the world in search of fascinating destinations, without ever losing sight of its traditions and European heritage. Its spacious resorts and stylish city and wellness hotels reflect a distinctive and unique character, tailored specifically for guests who appreciate five-star service and luxury on their business or leisure trips.

What actually defines a Grand Hotel? It is ahead of its time; it creates traditions and nurtures them. Would you like to develop your own traditions and, through your department, reinforce our positioning as a sporty, warmly welcoming and refreshingly uncomplicated 5-star hotel?
