A Legacy Begins
Berthold and Helene Kempinski establish the Kempinski name in Berlin, pioneering a new approach to food and social hospitality.
Luxury should be felt
before it is seen.
A Worldly
Perspective
The world’s most interesting people tend to gather in the world’s most interesting places. For generations, Kempinski has been part of that exchange, creating destinations where culture, conversation, and discovery intersect. At the Miami Design District™, that tradition continues in a neighborhood that draws artists, collectors, designers, entrepreneurs, and global tastemakers to one of the most culturally dynamic corners of the Americas.
A Sense
of Place
Great destinations leave a lasting impression because they could exist nowhere else. Across generations, Kempinski has sought out places with a distinct point of view—locations where history, culture, and contemporary life converge to create something uniquely their own. Few places embody that spirit more completely than the Miami Design District™, where creativity is not simply celebrated, but lived.
The Art of
Anticipation
Kempinski service is defined by attentiveness rather than excess. Preferences are remembered, details are considered, and needs are anticipated with discretion and care. For residents, this transforms hospitality into stewardship, offering confidence that their home, guests, and daily experience are supported whether they are in residence, traveling, entertaining, or simply returning home.
A Heritage
of Hospitality
Founded in Europe in 1872, Kempinski was built upon a culture of hospitality shaped by gastronomy and the enduring pleasure of gathering well. Its legacy has never been defined solely by service, but by an ability to create places that feel welcoming, cultivated, and deeply connected to their surroundings. Today, that same philosophy informs a residential experience where thoughtful stewardship and personal attention create an atmosphere of natural ease.
Luxury,
Felt Daily
Kempinski believes luxury should be immersive both physically and emotionally, through warmth, atmosphere, and the quiet intelligence of service. At Kempinski Residences Miami Design District, that philosophy becomes part of everyday life, creating a residential experience where authentic care and personal attention are present in the smallest moments as much as the grand ones.
