Kempinski guests set to have a ball

The Kempinski Hotel Beijing Lufthansa Center recently announced its annual dance gala - the Kempinski Vienna Ball - is to be held on April 13, bringing European art and cultural experiences to the capital.

It is the fifth time that Kempinski has held the event. This year, the hotel will invite the Strauss Festival Orchestra Vienna to perform for the first time.

Allan Wu, from China's version of the television show The Amazing Race, will host the ball and interact with the audience, said Brice Pean, general manager of the hotel.
