‘Tune In To Summer’ with Kempinski Kempinski’s summer promotion offers options from sea to sky to suit every taste
Summer may be synonymous with surf-andsan but it is also a great time to breathe fresh alpine air or to explore a bustling city
on a sunny day. ‘Tune in to summer’ offers accommodation at Kempinski hotels around the world of up to 30% off regular rates and gives the option of designing a summer vacation according to specific traveller profiles. Bookings are accepted from 15 May for stays between 1 June and 15 September 2014 on kempinski.com. Kempinski Hotel Soma Bay is delighted to offer its very own summer package for locals and residents. Package rate start at EGP 1300 per double room on half board basis (excluding Eid period) 2 nights - 10% 4-6 nights - 15% 7-13 nights - 25% 14 nights and above - 35% ... After its successful launch in 2013, Kempinski will again use TripTuner® technology, an easy, plug and-play tool to find the perfect holiday.
Similar to a stereo equalizer, guests can indicate and fine-tune their preferences until the perfect match is found. “We are thrilled to collaborate with Kempinski once again on creating a personalised, visually rich approach for their summer promotion,” said TripTuner Founder and CEO Tedd Evers. “Kempinski is putting the traveller in control. Unlike traditional promotions, ‘Tune in to Summer’ will entice loyal clients and new guests alike to discover the best offers at Kempinski properties that match traveller preferences.” With over 74 hotels globally and more opening this year, Kempinski has unique experience to offer from ‘glamping’ in Olare Mara to (re)discovering the rich Muscovite culture during the long summer nights. For the urban explorer, vibrant Shanghai and sparkling Berlin present equally appealing options. And for a more relaxed vacation, early morning meditation in Bodrum or a weeklong detox in Portoroz should be on the top of the list.
