The Grand Hotel Kempinski High Tatras is beautifully located on the shores of an alpine
lake, 1,351 metres above sea level in the spectacular High Tatras Mountains in Strbske
Pleso. The High Tatras Mountain is the natural border between Poland and Slovakia,
forming the central, highest and most beautiful section of the Carpathian mountain
range, where the air is pure and medically beneficial.
The lovingly restored heritage building consists of three interlinking parts. The
architecture of the historic building, a former famous Grand hotel built in 1906, is
stunningly romantic with its turrets and latticed windows. The 98 spacious rooms and
suites in contemporary design all offer breathtaking views either over the idyllic alpine
lake, the mountains or the vast valley. The presidential and honeymoon suites are the
height of luxury, where newly-weds can enjoy a glass of champagne in their private
Jacuzzi on the roof top or in front of the suite’s fireplace.
GRAND HOTEL KEMPINSKI HIGH TATRAS OPENING

The hotel provides outstanding international and Mediterranean cuisine in its all-day
fdining Grand Restaurant, focusing on the finest produce and local specialties, prepared
by an experienced team of international chefs. Up to 124 guests can savour the
best of seasonal, local and organic products, or sample the finest wines from the High
Tatras’ largest wine cellar which offers around 300 different wines. Guests can enjoy
unique Kempinski white, red and rosé wines that have been carefully selected and produced
in cooperation with local vineyards.
For conferences, meetings and festive occasions, the hotel has two ballrooms with daylight
and wonderful views, which can cater for up to 150 people. The main emphasis is
on incentives and outdoor activities. Apart from exploring the surrounding nature on
foot or mountain bike, the area is ideal for cross-country and downhill skiing, horseback
riding, or tours with horse carriages or snow scooters. Bungee jumping and paragliding,
bear-watching expeditions and hot-air ballooning complete the offer, and can all
be arranged by the hotel’s creative concierge team. For the youngest guests, special
amenities and services are available, including a professionally run Kids’ Club with
many activities to keep children entertained while their parents relax. Little details,
such as steps at check-in and in the bathroom, a welcome gift, child-sized bathrobes
and slippers, complimentary bedtime milk, no-tear shampoo and special children’s toiletries
make the kids feel special and welcome.
The 1,300 sqm Kempinski Spa is a further highlight, offering a variety of Thalgo and
Terrake facial and body treatments and massages. The luxurious facilities include
several saunas, themed showers, a private VIP spa suite, five treatment rooms, manicure
and pedicure, a hair stylist, or a Vitamin Bar. Indoor pools with stunning views
over the lake and mountains bring the tranquil natural environment into the spa. The
spa’s interior design is particularly unique, with crystal chandeliers and designer furniture
throughout.
The Grand Hotel Kempinski High Tatras can easily be reached by road, rail or air. The
nearest international airport, Poprad-Tatry, is 28 km from the hotel; Kosice Airport
150 km; and Krakow Airport 170 km. Limousine transfers as well as helicopter pick-ups
from Bratislava and Vienna are available.
Editor’s Notes:
The Kempinski name is proudly borne by a growing collection of distinguished properties
around the world. Europe’s oldest luxury hotel group, Kempinski has built its reputation
on the belief that exclusivity and individuality are key elements of true luxury.
Each year, an increasing number of guests come to appreciate these qualities, as
Kempinski adds new hotels and resorts in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia.
While this growth reflects the strength and success of the Kempinski brand, the collection
will remain a limited one, where exclusivity can be nurtured and individuality can
flourish.
As a valued private-sector member of the Stop TB Partnership, Kempinski is proud to
support the Luis Figo Campaign to Stop TB through the distribution of campaign postcards
in guest rooms, explaining how tuberculosis, if it is diagnosed and treated with effective
medication, is curable. We share the Stop TB Partnership’s vision and goal of a TB
-free world.
Kempinski is a member of the Global Hotel Alliance. Based on the airline alliance
model, Global Hotel Alliance is the world’s largest alliance of independent hotel brands.
GHA currently comprises Anantara, Cham, Dusit, Kempinski, Landis, Leela, Marco Polo,
Omni, Pan Pacific, Parkroyal and The Doyle Collection, encompassing 180 upscale and
