Kempinski Hotels made its prestigious debut in Ghana in 2015 with the opening of the Kempinski Hotel Gold Coast City in Accra. Situated in the heart of the city’s bustling business district, the five-star hotel seamlessly blends European luxury with local Ghanaian cultural elements, providing guests with an immersive and sophisticated experience. This launch marked an important step for the Kempinski brand in Africa, which had already established a solid presence in other regions.
In addition to expanding into Ghana, Kempinski has revitalized several of its flagship properties. Notably, the renovation of Kempinski Hotel The Dome Belek in Turkey introduced modern suites, new dining options, and enhanced wellness facilities, further elevating the hotel’s luxury offerings. Such renovations reflect the brand’s continuous efforts to stay at the forefront of luxury hospitality, combining timeless elegance with contemporary amenities.
Sustainability has become a central pillar of Kempinski Hotels’ operations. The company has integrated eco-friendly practices and energy-efficient solutions across its global portfolio. From water-saving initiatives to reducing carbon footprints in newly developed properties, Kempinski demonstrates its commitment to environmentally responsible luxury. This dedication to sustainability can be observed in the company’s approach to both new developments and renovations, ensuring that luxury and environmental responsibility go hand in hand.
Kempinski Hotels has earned numerous prestigious accolades for its exceptional service and commitment to hospitality innovation. Among these is recognition at the World Travel Awards, where the brand was celebrated for its luxury service offerings. As of 2024, Kempinski operates 81 hotels across 34 countries, with over 39 projects currently in development. The brand has strategically expanded into key high-growth markets, including Asia, the Middle East, and the Caribbean, further solidifying its position as a leader in the global luxury hospitality industry.
In December 2023, Kempinski made a significant move in the Middle East, partnering with Abu Dhabi National Hotels to rebrand two prominent properties in Dubai: Kempinski The Boulevard Dubai and Kempinski Central Avenue Dubai. This partnership strengthens Kempinski’s footprint in the region, which has been a key market for the company for over 26 years.
Kempinski’s commitment to corporate social responsibility was evident in March 2024 when the company donated GHS 105,000 to Breast Care International (BCI) Ghana as part of its “BE Health” initiative. This donation, aimed at supporting breast cancer awareness and women’s health programs, underscores Kempinski’s dedication to community welfare. The contribution was also highlighted during International Women’s Day, celebrating the company’s ongoing efforts to make a positive impact on the health and well-being of communities.
Kempinski’s commitment to excellence in service and its expansion into new markets were further recognized in 2024, when it was awarded the ‘Hospitality Brand of the Year’ at the Ghana Business Standards Awards. This recognition reaffirms Kempinski’s position as a key player in the luxury hospitality industry, not only in Ghana but globally.
