::: Cabrits Resort & Spa Kempinski Dominica. A luxurious hideaway in the middle of unspoiled nature :::

OPENING LATE 2019

Cabrits Resort & Spa Kempinski Dominica

Halfway between Guadeloupe and Martinique, the beautiful unspoilt island of Dominica is a Caribbean secret. Hidden away from mass tourism, it attracts ecoadventurers and those who want to discover something rare and special. With its Boiling Lake, Champagne Reef, rainforestshrouded volcano, sulfurous hot springs, superb diving and the Caribbean's first long-distance hiking trail, it’s little wonder Dominica is nicknamed ‘nature island’. One of the island's many attractions, Cabrits National Park is located on a peninsula at the north end of the island. Established in 1986, it occupies 1,313 acres and protects tropical forests, coral reefs and wetlands. The park is nestled between two extinct volcanoes, and has spectacular views of the beaches below. Hidden away at the heart of Cabrits National Park, you’ll find

the Cabrits Resort & Spa Kempinski Dominica. Starting with its unobtrusive design, the resort is committed to protecting the authenticity of this pristine eco-tourism paradise. At the same time, it presents guests with an enriching, contemporary experience that strikes a natural balance between land and sea. Here guests luxuriate in world-class accommodation with superior hospitality, and have access to the island’s 365 rivers, countless waterfalls and natural boiling springs. The 151-room resort, with its breathtaking panoramic view of the Caribbean Sea, invites guests to relax with amenities such as a full-service spa, international cuisine, and fitness facility, furnished with the latest equipment. It also has two floodlit tennis courts, four hot and coldwater pools, and meeting space for executive retreats and intimate weddings.

WHAT’S NEW?

::: Singapore :::

THE CAPITOL KEMPINSKI HOTEL SINGAPORE

The spirit of our founding family lives on. Frieda Restaurant and Berthold Delikatessen open in Singapore.

Berthold Delikatessen at The Capitol Kempinski Hotel Singapore.

Our two newest concepts, Berthold Delikatessen and Frieda Restaurant, pay tribute to our founder and his family. Together with his wife, Helene, Berthold Kempinski, began our story in 1897 when they opened a small food and wine store in Berlin. Always dedicated to please, the Kempinski family delighted Berliners with a cornucopia of products including lobsters, oysters, caviar and other delicacies. And they sold them in half portions to make these luxury goods more affordable. It was an immediate success.

We chose to open Berthold Delikatessen and Frieda Restaurant in a very special place, the arcade adjacent to the legendary Capitol Theatre and the newly-opened The Capitol Kempinski Hotel Singapore. The new concepts re-tell the Kempinski story in a modern way, without losing the essence of our European roots, in the middle of the bustling metropolis of Singapore.
