The Kempinski Kemeri Palace Resort is set in an enchanting country garden, which was laid out in the middle of the 19th century. This magnificent historic building, which was built in the 1930s according to the designs of the architect Eizens Laube, is now being completely restored.
This, the most spectacular hotel project of the booming Latvian hospitality market, is taking shape in the Baltic coastal resort of Jurmala, about 25 km from Latvia’s capital city, Riga. Thanks to its 32 km of fine sandy beaches, Jurmala is already well known in Russia and the Baltic area, but it is now increasingly being discovered by westerners, too. The hotel, with its 150 rooms and suites, plus restaurant, night club and health spa, was scheduled to re-open at the beginning of 2007.
The renowned interior designer Robert Di Leonardo was creating an ambience reminiscent both of art nouveau and the great ocean liners of the "twenties and thirties". Just a few minutes away is the approximately 4,000 square metre site occupied by the original old spa buildings, which are currently being restored.
Feuring Projektmanagement Ltd. takes special pride in providing building owner representation and in taking on the complete refitting of this hotel that forms part of today's New Europe.
