The ceremony began with a blessing of the hotel by the owning family’s priest, Luis Pablo Garza Aguiar, accompanied by Kempinski’s signature ‘Ladies in Red’. Over one hundred guests enjoyed Kempinski’s 125 anniversary cocktail, with a welcome from the Interim General Manager Aref Sayegh, and speeches from the owner Ms Claudia Molina Basteris and Kempinski Hotel’s Chief Operating Officer of The Americas, Xavier Destribats, before the ribbon cutting ceremony. Entertainment was provided by a harpist and a band, appropriately named ‘Red Shoes’. Delicious drinks and canapés were served under the leadership of Executive Chef Rene Camelo.

Kempinski Hotel Cancun, with its white sandy beaches and crystal clear ocean, is a remarkable addition to the portfolio of Kempinski, globally present with 82 hotels in 36 countries. The hotel occupies one of the finest beaches in Cancún, with a 400-metre stretch of breathtaking coastline, where giant turtles visit seasonally. The property offers 315 elegant guest rooms and 48 suites, all featuring a private balcony or terrace, with a panoramic view of the Caribbean Sea. Dining options include two AAA Five Diamond Award restaurants, plus private beachside Cabanas and an enticing club lounge for guests to enjoy. Two swimming pools, an oceanfront whirlpool, a Mayan-inspired spa with relaxation gardens, a fully equipped fitness centre, a tennis centre, a beauty salon, and a Kids Club, to delight the youngest family members complete the facilities of this exceptional hotel.
For meetings, weddings and conferences for large groups, there is abundant indoor and outdoor event space. From an 11,220-sq-ft (1,000 sq m) divisible ballroom to elegant meeting rooms, boardrooms, breakout spaces and outdoor venues by the pool, or a beachfront venue for up to 700 guests, there are ample options to elevate events and customise meetings.
