Book the Kempinski Hotel Berchtesgaden with VIP Benefits

The Kempinski Hotel Berchtesgaden in Germany is a hideaway with breathtaking views of the Bavarian Alps. Although it sits in an Alpine, what awaits visitors is the vast arc of a majestic 5-star luxury hotel without parallel in the region. Moreover, it matches the splendor and grandeur of the mountains and deep pine forests surrounding it.

History

This beautiful area in the Bavarian Alps was shunned after World War 2 because of its previous associations with the Nazi command. However, this was swept away by the Intercontinental Hotel opening in 2005, reviving local and international tourism.

Although this dark past lingers, the modern hotel brings new energy to the area. In 2015, it was taken over by the Kempinski group. Besides, Kempinski management boasts 120 years of ownership of some of Europe's finest luxury hotels, with Berchtesgaden one of the more recent ones.

The new management developed a character style with its natural surroundings in the Bavarian mountains.
