Kempinski in Berlin, Hotel Atlantic Kempinski Hamburg, Hotel Vier
Jahreszeiten Kempinski Munich, Kempinski Grand Hotel Des Bains St.
Moritz, Le Mirador Kempinski Lake Geneva and the Courthouse Hotel
Kempinski in London. Our mission for the region has always been to
translate Kempinski's unique traditions of highest quality and
service in the context of the contemporary Middle East, which is in
the process of dramatic transformation. The stunning,
ultra-luxurious Emirates Palace Hotel and the ground-breaking
Kempinski Hotel Mall of the Emirates Hotel are landmark properties,
with the renovations well underway of the Ajman Kempinski Hotel the
property continues to be a serene seaside getaway from urban life.
The new properties opening across the region will be unique, each in
its own right, offering travelers a series of luxurious and
distinctive hospitality alternatives.'

indeed for Kempinski, as we widen our reach and strengthen our
position in the regional market. Finally, there will will be hotels
on offer that are distinctly conceived, designed and operated
specifically for the region's travelers but also for culturally
aware international travelers looking for an authentic regional
experience.

tourism exhibition attracting tourism companies, resort owners and
