Every city and alpine peak wears the magic of Christmas differently. From ancient European cobblestones glowing under overhead starry lights to shimmering ocean waves kissing warm shores, we invite you to step through our doors and fall under the spell of the season all over again.
Trade winter frost for balmy ocean air and golden horizon views.

Gather with loved ones for al fresco galas, sunset champagne toasts, and unhurried moments of shared joy by the water's edge.


An Invitation to Seasonal Enchantment
Step out of our grand doors directly into the beating heart of European holiday magic, where cobblestone squares glow beneath starry lights and the air smells of roasted chestnuts and spiced mulled wine.

Step into the warm glow of our grand lobby lounges for a cherished Christmas ritual, where classic European elegance meets the magic of the season beneath softly lit trees. Take your seat as afternoon light softens for our festive afternoon tea, pairing rare winter infusions and celebratory champagne with the crowning glory of holiday pastry: the Bûche de Noël. Reimagined by Kempinski’s master chefs as an extraordinary work of culinary art, this iconic dessert invites you to pause and cherish the sweet elegance of a timeless tradition.

As the year draws softly to its close, step into an atmosphere of quiet grandeur and joyful anticipation. Across grand ballrooms and candlelit salons worldwide, New Year’s Eve at Kempinski unfolds as an unhurried celebration of shared milestones.
