Ķemeri resort (originally Ķemeres, also known as Kemmern) [2] is a part of Jūrmala in Latvia, 44 km from Riga.

From 1928 to 1959, Ķemeri was a separate town, famous for healing mud baths and luxurious hotels.

Bad Kemmern was founded as a resort in 1838, when the emperor Nicholas I of Russia gave this land for building the first bath-house with mineral water.

During World War I, the battles between German and Russian forces lasting several years were only a few miles from Ķemeri.

In 1998, the sanatorium, after years of post -Sovietic abandonment, was purchased by Ominasis Italia and renovated according to a project by the architect Cesare Stefano Bernardinelli.
