Kempinski to open their first luxury hotel in Brazil

Wednesday, September 1, 2021

For the first time in the 125-year history of the international luxury hotel group, a resort with residences and a hotel in South American Brazil will complement its portfolio.

Built in 1978, the hotel is known far beyond the borders of the Serra Gaúcha region, as it was here, among other outstanding events, that the signing of the Mercosur Treaty took place in 1992.

Situated on a cliff in Canela with a breathtaking view over the Vale do Quilombo Eco Reserve, the developers, together with Kempinski Hotels, plan to open the most outstanding luxurious inland resort in Brazil.

By carrying the spirit of this well-known hotel icon into the present and after an extensive renovation and modernisation, it is foreseen that it will welcome the first guests by 2024.

The Serra Gaúcha Region is a perfect fit for the Kempinski brand, as it carries a strong German and European culture which, combined with its unparalleled natural environment, attracts over six million visitors per year.

Canela is at the epicentre of the most attractive inland region in Brazil, with easy access to excellent exclusive wineries, breathtaking gaucho canyons and to Campos de Cima da Serra (Rio Grande Highlands) with its magnificent uninhabited pampa fields cut by endless waterfalls.

Its dramatic natural beauty in one of the least dense regions of the planet (population density equals Iceland), attracts wealthy tourists in search of adventure and nature-oriented sports.

The future Kempinski Laje de Pedra is best reached via Porto Alegre International Airport Salgado Filho approximately 100 km away, which serves the urban region of Porto Alegre, capital of the Rio Grande do Sul region.
