Walk one of the world’s wonders

BEIJING, CHINA

Built in the early Ming Dynasty, The Great Wall connects Juyongguan in the west and Gubeikou in the east. Dating from 1504, the Mutianyu section was restored in 1983, and was awarded UNESCO World Cultural Heritage status in 1987.

On the shores of Yanqi Lake, just 30 km from the Mutianyu Great Wall, the peaceful resort of Sunrise Kempinski Hotel Beijing & Yanqi Island is the ideal place from which to explore one of the Great Wall’s most famous stretches.

Work up an appetite for Budapest

BUDAPEST, HUNGARY

As well as old-world charm, Budapest is also renowned for its eclectic culinary scene - a mix of markets, street food, traditional inns, and Michelin-starred restaurants.

Located in one of the city’s most vibrant areas, Kempinski Hotel Corvinus is a short stroll away from the best restaurants and night-life, including the famous ‘ruin pubs.’ But you don’t need to go far to discover the best of Budapest’s cuisine. The hotel’s own Gastronomic Quarter, which includes a range of dining options and bars, is a culinary destination on its own.
