Kempinski Club 1897
European Heritage Since 1897.
Founded in 1897, Kempinski is Europe's oldest luxury hotel group. Its portfolio of 80+ hotels and resorts across 35+ countries pairs European craftsmanship with grand individual addresses — among them Hotel Adlon Kempinski Berlin and Çırağan Palace Kempinski Istanbul, a former Ottoman imperial palace on the Bosphorus.
Club 1897 provides invitation-only benefits through accredited luxury travel advisors, including LVXVRY.
LVXVRY coordinates every reservation directly with participating hotels to help deliver enhanced recognition and exclusive guest privileges.
- Daily breakfast for two
- Hotel credit at participating properties
- Room upgrade (subject to availability)
- Early check-in and late check-out (subject to availability)
- VIP recognition and welcome amenities
Which rates carry the benefits
Benefits attach to specific rates the house makes available to accredited advisors — usually the flexible public rate, sometimes an advance-purchase equivalent. A member rate, a prepaid or non-refundable rate, a package, a corporate or negotiated rate, a promotional offer and an award redemption do not carry them.
A non-qualifying rate is occasionally the better buy. Before a reservation is placed we compare the eligible rate against what else the house is selling for your dates, and say which is stronger — including when the answer is not ours.
Points and status
A reservation placed through Kempinski Club 1897 carries your membership number to the house, so GHA DISCOVERY is recognised on arrival and accrues on the rates that qualify. Where a programme benefit and an elite benefit cover the same ground, the hotel grants the stronger one rather than both.
What is contractual and what depends on the day
Daily breakfast for two and the property credit are set by the programme and apply on an eligible rate. The room upgrade, early arrival and late departure are granted by the individual house from what it has available, which is why we place the request with the hotel rather than promise it here.
Questions
- Does Kempinski Club 1897 cost anything?
- No. You pay the hotel directly at the eligible rate. The privileges travel with the reservation.
- Which rates qualify?
- Benefits attach to specific rates the house makes available to accredited advisors — usually the flexible public rate, sometimes an advance-purchase equivalent. A member rate, a prepaid or non-refundable rate, a package, a corporate or negotiated rate, a promotional offer and an award redemption do not carry them.
- Are the benefits guaranteed?
- Breakfast and the hotel credit are contractual on an eligible rate. The upgrade, early arrival and late departure depend on what the house has free on the day, and are confirmed at check-in rather than at booking.
- Do I still earn points and nights?
- Yes, on qualifying rates. GHA DISCOVERY is attached to the booking before it reaches the hotel.
