The luxury hotel group, which operates 82 hotels across 36 countries, said it is preparing to open “more spectacular properties” in new worldwide regions following Muckermann’s appointment.
The group intends to add another 34 hotels and residences to its portfolio in Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Africa in the coming years.
Muckermann announced she was leaving Silversea just over a month ago to “pursue other opportunities”.
In an email to media today (21 May), she confirmed she made the “difficult decision” to leave her “beloved Silversea” after being offered the chief executive position at Kempinski.
Muckermann said: “I could not be more thrilled to be joining Kempinski Hotels as chief executive during such a pivotal time for the brand.
“I am delighted to play an integral role in this incredibly iconic brand’s next chapter while honouring its rich history, and very much look forward to working in tandem with amazing colleagues globally to continue to make the Kempinski name synonymous with individual luxury.”
