Ask a frequent traveler: Barbara Muckermann

As Chief Executive Officer of the Kempinski Group, Barbara Muckermann leads the iconic brand, which operates more than 78 hotels in 32 countries around the world. She's the first woman to head the luxury hotel group in its 128-year history. A true wilderness enthusiast, she prefers to travel to places where nature remains untouched—like Alaska. To unwind, she enjoys long walks or relaxing on the deck of her boat. Falstaff TRAVEL interviewed her.
