Where Culture Meets Freedom

Wunderkind is a collection of one-of-a-kind hotels, each with its own character, its own point of view and an unmistakable sense of place.

No two are intended to feel the same. Each is shaped by its surroundings, its people and its culture, brought together through a shared spirit of artistry, individuality and freedom.

There is depth behind every detail. Art is collected, not decorated. Craft has provenance. Service has personality. And the unexpected is always welcome.

These are destinations with depth over display, created to stir emotion and leave something behind.

Meet Wolfgang and Edwin

The story begins with Wolfgang Joop, one of Germany’s most distinctive creative voices.

Born in Potsdam, Wolfgang grew up beside Sanssouci Palace, its gardens his childhood playground and an early source of inspiration. Its extraordinary mix of grandeur and playfulness, structure and imagination would influence a creative life spanning fashion, art, illustration and interiors.

A lifelong collector, Wolfgang has always been drawn to unexpected combinations. Together with his partner and creative collaborator Edwin Lemberg, he has built a life shaped by art, fashion, interiors and an instinctive love of collecting. Their world brings together Old Masters and contemporary works, Rococo furniture and modern design, the precious and the playful.

Together, they founded Wunderkind in 2003. Today, Wunderkind Hotels & Resorts takes this deeply personal way of seeing and turns it into places you can inhabit.
