With
a collection of spectacular properties in its portfolio, Kempinski Hotels is proudly home
to some
of the finest luxury suites in the world. From sprawling villas and
sky-high penthouses to characterful hideaways steeped in history, the Kempinski
constellation is filled with stand-out accommodations fit for contemporary
kings and starry-eyed queens.
As
World Sleep Day approaches on 14 March, Europe’s oldest luxury hotel company
has curated a collection of its most sensational suites, based on superlative
space, historic pedigree or pure wow factor. From Berlin to Bali, these are the
finest accommodation options in the Kempinski collection.
A
ROYAL RETREAT
Formerly
the summer residence of the Royal Family of Bavaria, Nymphenburg Palace is
perhaps the finest example of classical Baroque architecture in Germany. To
experience a flavour of the royal lifestyle enhanced by the luxurious touches
of Kempinski hospitality, travellers can spend the night at the Nymphenburg
Palace Royal Residence, a stately four-bedroom villa located within the palace
grounds.
Inside
the 836-sqm (8,998-sqft) residence, four bedrooms, seven bathrooms, three
living rooms and a banquet-sized dining room are decorated with objets
d’art from the nearby Nymphenburg Porcelain Manufactory, as well as
artworks from British artists Damien Hirst and Nick Knight. Equipped with a
full-sized kitchen and wine cellar, the Royal Residence has everything guests
need for intimate family gatherings, while the private garden and
majolica-tiled terrace is the perfect spot for summer soirées for up to 100
guests.
Other
regal benefits for guests of the Nymphenburg Palace Royal Residence include the
use of a chauffeur-driven limousine throughout each stay, round-trip airport
transfers, 24/7 butler service and a daily breakfast fit for kings and
queens.
HISTORIC
HIDEAWAYS
Art,
fashion and history come together at Hotel Taschenbergpalais Kempinski
Dresden, a gift from Augustus the Strong to his mistress in 1705.
Berlin-based interior designer Markus Hilzinger sought inspiration from the
hotel’s history to infuse the 380-sqm (4,090-sqft) Royal Suite with
regal splendour and contemporary comforts. The stately abode is adorned with
Parquet de Versailles oak flooring and hand-knotted carpets, with artworks by
Venetian artist Bernardo Bellotto reproduced in collaboration with the Dresden
State Art Collection.
Checking
into the 185-sqm (1,991-sqft) Royal Suite at Hotel Adlon Kempinski Berlin is
reserved for the privileged few. The master bedroom reveals close-up views of
the Brandenburg Gate and Pariser Platz in the historic heart of Berlin; private
meetings or intimate dinners can be held in the cherry red study; and the
entire suite meets the high levels of security required by heads of state and
VIP guests, who also enjoy limousine transfers and 24-hour butler
service.
Once
the home of Ottoman Sultans, Çırağan Palace Kempinski Istanbul houses
a collection of historic suites. The 458-sqm (4,929-sqft) Sultan Suite is
the most opulent, with marble columns, decorative fireplaces and replicas of
artworks by 19th-century Italian artist Fausto Zonaro. As well as a personal
butler who welcomes guests with a time-honoured fragrance and soap ritual,
guests are treated to the use of a chauffeur-driven 1974 Rolls-Royce Silver
Shadow and the best Bosphorus views in Istanbul.
SUPERLATIVE
SPACES
Poised
on the clifftops of Nusa Dua, The Apurva
Kempinski Bali is a tribute to the architecture and craftsmanship of
the Majapahit empire. The blend of imperial residence, architectural traditions
and tropical ambience finds its apogee in the Nusantara Presidential Villa,
a 1,379-sqm (14,843-sqft) three-bedroom hideaway on a private beach complete
with an 18-metre swimming pool. Steps from the Apurva Chapel, the villa was
built to entertain, with an abundance of indoor-outdoor space suitable for
wedding receptions or private parties.
All
year round, the Penthouse Suite at Kempinski Hotel Das Tirol provides
front-row seats to the majestic landscape of Austria’s Kitzbühel Alps from cosy
wood-panelled interiors and three vast outdoor terraces. A case study in
contemporary Alpine luxury, this five-bedroom suite occupies the entire seventh
floor of the hotel, with a fully equipped kitchen and 1,020 sqm (10,979 sqft)
of indoor-outdoor space, making it the largest hotel suite in Austria.
Modern
Turkish design meets Mediterranean lifestyle at Kempinski Hotel The Dome
Belek, where a collection of three-bedroom Sultan Villas overlooks
the resort’s PGA Sultan Golf Course. With space for up to six guests, the
467-sqm (5,026-sqft) villas are set in lush gardens with private swimming pools
that can be heated in the winter and a covered lounge and dining area that
makes indoor-outdoor living feasible all year round. A personal butler is also
on hand to mix sundowners, book a beach cabana or make restaurant
reservations.
WOW
FACTOR
In
the stately surrounds of Hotel Vier
Jahreszeiten Kempinski Munich, the Maximilian Suite stands out as
a study in fine craftsmanship. Reimagined by interior designer Colin Finnegan
in 2019, the 175-sqm (1,883-sqft) suite is home to a grand master bedroom
framed by an antique Carrara marble fireplace, walnut pillars and sunray
ceiling art inspired by the staterooms of the Munich Residence. From their
private terrace, guests can revel in spectacular views of Munich’s Old Town and
the Bavarian Alps.
Travellers
can transition effortlessly from beach to piste at Kempinski Hotel Mall
of the Emirates, where the collection of Aspen Ski Chalets brings
a slice of Rocky Mountain chic to Dubai’s urban metropolis. Stepping inside the
228-sqm (2,454-sqft) three-bedroom chalets, guests enter a winter wonderland
where flagstone walls frame views of Ski Dubai. Guests also enjoy 24-hour
butler service and access to the hotel’s Executive Lounge, as well as tickets
to the children-friendly Snow Park in Ski Dubai.
At The David
Kempinski Tel Aviv the three-storey The David Penthouse Suite reveals
panoramic views over the sparkling Mediterranean Sea via six-metre
floor-to-ceiling windows and a wrap-around terrace complete with a 10-metre
infinity pool. Two ocean-facing master bedrooms with marble bathrooms and
spacious living areas are perfectly positioned for sublime sunsets, and guests
staying in the 380-sqm (4,090-sqft) suite have access to a private study, gym,
sauna and a fully stocked pantry, as well as a full-time personal
concierge.
