Kempinski and BTG Hotels strengthen partnership with new investment
European hospitality company Kempinski Hotels and BTG Hotels are extending their long-standing partnership to drive luxury hospitality in China. The strategic move, which includes a multi-year investment plan, is set to strengthen Kempinski's market positioning. Kempinski Group CEO Barbara Muckermann said: "Kempinski and BTG enjoy a strong partnership and rich history together, as pioneers in luxury hospitality in China. We are very fortunate to have BTG Hotels, the third largest hotel group in the country, as our partner. 'Our collaboration offers us a unique advantage to continue aggressively expanding in the region. I look forward to the next phase of the collaboration to reinforce our position into the future." The investment plan will concentrate on four pivotal areas, including expanding the Chinese heritage portfolio under the Kempinski brand, launching a new lifestyle hospitality brand with a target of 200 hotels in China over the next five years, supporting the growth of the Bristoria brand portfolio while bolstering collaboration for the global expansion of the NUO brand. Furthermore, Kempinski Group's investment plan aims to integrate membership systems to reinforce cooperation. The existing partnership between Kempinski Hotels and BTG Hotels has played a role in China's luxury hospitality sector for over three decades. Kempinski's foray into China began in 1992 with the opening of the country's first five-star luxury hotel, the Kempinski Hotel Beijing Yansha Center. The success of this venture led to the formation of Key Co., a joint venture (JV) between Kempinski and BTG Hotels in 2001, to manage hotels across China. In 2018, the companies extended their JV for an additional 50 years. The partnership currently operates 22 hotels in the country. Kempinski Hotels chief product officer Rasha Lababidi said: "Given China's strategic importance in our strategy, this new lifestyle brand will just reinforce our long-term commitment to the local market and will help further expand our footprint in the region. "Domestic travellers will benefit from the best of both worlds, Kempinski hospitality and service expertise on one hand, distinct products and experiences specially designed for them on the other hand. Together with BTG Hotels, I look forward to bringing this new brand to life." In addition to the partnership's initiatives in China, Kempinski Hotels revealed plans to manage the Nymphenburg Palace Royal Residence in Munich, Germany, earlier this year.

Kempinski Hotels Sign Landmark Agreement to Manage Nymphenburg Palace Royal Residence
GENEVA, Feb. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Heralding the beginning of a new era, Kempinski Hotels have signed a landmark agreement to manage the Nymphenburg Palace Royal Residence. In partnership with HRH Prince Luitpold von Bayern and the Royal Family of Bavaria, Kempinski will manage the private residence exclusively from 1 March, 2025. "We are truly honoured to take over management of the Nymphenburg Palace Royal Residence, a property with such rich history and a strong reputation for exceptional service. This partnership represents an exciting opportunity for Kempinski to elevate the guest experience in one of Europe's most prestigious addresses. Our commitment is to preserve the legacy of Nymphenburg while introducing new dimensions of luxury, personalised service, and innovative hospitality for discerning guests around the world," states Barbara Muckermann, Group Chief Executive Officer for Kempinski Hotels. Located at the intersection of city and country, the Nymphenburg Palace Royal Residence boasts the most exclusive accommodation in Munich. Spread over three floors with a total of 836 square meters, the Royal Residence features four bedrooms, seven bathrooms, three living rooms, dining room, kitchen, fitness room, meeting space, home cinema and a wine cellar. Outdoors, the Royal Residence features a private garden with a majolica terrace with capacity for up to 100 guests. In addition to offering the ultimate suite experience, the Nymphenburg Palace Royal Residence also acts as a showcase for Nymphenburg Porcelain. The Royal Residence includes art objects, animal figures and tableware from the manufacturer's workshops in addition to numerous interior details that were specially made for the guest house in the bathrooms. Significant pieces by international artists including Damien Hirst and Nick Knight are displayed prominently in the Royal Residence, allowing guests to experience fine craftsmanship with priceless artwork throughout their stay. Founded in 1747 by Maximilian III, elector of Bavaria, the Nymphenburg Porcelain Manufactory has occupied one of the Cavalier Houses since 1761. With royal patronage and the skills of ceramicist Joseph Jakob Ringler and sculptor Franz Anton Bustelli, the complex production of hard paste porcelain was perfected and refined over the years, culminating in a world-renowned family business three centuries later. Today, Nymphenburg Porcelain is one of the oldest porcelain manufacturers in the world, with each item still being made by hand and a complete devotion to exquisite craftsmanship and unparalleled level of detail. Kempinski's management of the Nymphenburg Palace Royal Residence further cements the long-established history and partnership between Europe's oldest luxury hotel group and the Royal Family of Bavaria. Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten Kempinski Munich was built by HRH Prince Luitpold von Bayern's great-great grandfather, King Maximilian II, in 1858. "We are thrilled to announce the expansion of our long-standing collaboration with Kempinski, particularly with Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten Kempinski in Munich. As the hotel that hosts guests of the royal family next to the Residence, it has long served as a benchmark for luxury hospitality. The Nymphenburg Room in the Schwarzreiter restaurant exemplifies the finest porcelain craftsmanship combined with exceptional cuisine. We are now embarking on a new chapter of collaboration. Kempinski will take over the management of the Nymphenburg Palace Royal Residence, a uniquely beautiful house located within the grounds of the porcelain manufactory at the northern roundabout of Nymphenburg Palace. This venue is tailored for guests who expect the highest cultural standards. This partnership will also usher in a new era of outstanding hospitality within the ultra-luxury segment for Kempinski," says HRH Prince Luitpold von Bayern. Reservations for the Royal Residence at Nymphenburg Palace are available to book from March 1, 2025. Accommodation includes full access to the exclusive 836 square meter villa, daily breakfast, round-trip airport transfers, 24/7 butler service and a chauffeured limousine throughout the stay.
