It seems to me that Kempinski is under-represented on this board. The group certainly lacks consistency (similar to Ritz-Carlton), and some of their properties need a serious renovation. But without a doubt, Kempinski do have local Nr. 1 properties in quite a number of cities:

Kempinski Istanbul Ciragan Palace
Kempinski Daressalaam
Kempinski Bamako (now a Laico, unfortunately)
Kempinski Dresden Taschenbergpalais
Kempinski Munich Vier Jahreszeiten
Kempinski Adlon Berlin
Kempinski Leela Goa
Kempinski Leela Kerala
Kempinski Leela Bangalore *
Kempinski Djibouti *
Kempinski Abu Dhabi Emirates Palace *
Kempinski St. Petersburg Moika *

(* haven't been myself)

Would you agree? Or add properties?

Anyone been to the new Kempinski lodges in Etosha or Serengeti?
