This 19th-century grande dame is a 181-room, five-star masterpiece in the Kempinski stable, with a new and an old wing masterfully combining traditional and contemporary design, with all the required bells and whistles.
The Palace has been renovated within an inch of its life – you’ll look high and low for any original features (stone staircase, chandeliers in the Crystal Hall). Keep your eyes instead on things like the rose-themed rooms, the faux-baroque furniture, the front balconies with sea views and the interconnecting indoor and outdoor pools.
