With the very first “Servus,” you can feel it: the genuine, down-to-earth, and warm-hearted Bavarian soul. But what happens when traditional dialect meets modern design? The answer lies in the Agrad Chalets on the edge of Aschau im Chiemgau region, where things are truly cozy and feel just right.

Was bedeutet es wirklich, lange zu leben? In der neuen THE Stylemate Ausgabe Endless Enough tauchen wir tief ein: von den Blue Zones der Welt über Biohacking bis zur Kunst als Vehikel für Unsterblichkeit. Ein Magazin für alle, die dem Leben nicht nur mehr Jahre, sondern auch mehr Tiefe schenken wollen.

Saluting the sun comes naturally at Puradies – the high plateau is one of the sunniest places in Leogang. Yoga is just one of the many heavenly activities you’ll find here. It not only stretches and strengthens the body, but also lifts the soul to new heights, which comes as no surprise, being this close to paradise.

Summer rituals are simple, yet never random. They provide grounding, ask for no effort or perfection, feel light – and make life feel deeply worthwhile.

The old house on the church square has stood for centuries. Its oldest parts date back to 1661—a date engraved into the intricately carved beams of the parlour. Today, this historic building is home to Refugium Lunz, a guesthouse revived by the creative minds behind FORMDEPOT—partners known for breathing new life into old architecture. The house looks back with respect and forward with care.

Those who find themselves surrounded by greenery often feel it instinctively: this is where I belong. As the harmonious center of the color spectrum, green unites the calming power of blue with the energy of yellow. It symbolizes nature, soothes the mind, and at the same time inspires inner growth. If longevity had a color, it would likely be green.

A JOURNEY TO KYOTO IS NEVER COMPLETE WITHOUT A VISIT TO A JAPANESE GARDEN.

Even if we live to be a hundred – a human life remains a fleeting moment. For a house that has stood for centuries, it is little more than a breath in the passage of time.

In the ancient caves of Matera, history comes to life: Sextantio Le Grotte della Civita is no ordinary hotel – it’s a tribute to a long-lost way of living. Guests who stay here step into another world: silent, archaic, magical. It’s a place where luxury is born from simplicity.

Portugal’s charm lies in its serenity. In a way of life shaped by sea breezes, warm light, historic cities, and modern design. In recent years, the country has evolved from an insider tip to a must-visit destination for mindful travelers – and for good reason.

A spoon gliding through soft egg yolk, a ray of light shining through a window or the tinkling of a glass in the evening: sometimes it’s not the loud sounds but the quiet moments that linger in the memory. The design hotel K5, designed by Claesson Koivisto Rune, is located in a historic bank building in the heart of Tokyo’s financial district.

Some places don’t need to be reinvented, just rethought a little. For example, what was once a simple campsite on the edge of Aschau in Chiemgau has been transformed into a stylish, modern chalet village – without losing even a hint of its intimate connection to nature. On the contrary. With the Agrad Chalets, a place of power has been created that blends quietly into its surroundings and is luxurious without saying it out loud.

Japan is especially worth visiting in 2025: with the Expo in Osaka the country places a strong focus on the future – with themes such as sustainability, innovation, and societal transformation. It’s a great opportunity to (re)discover Japan not just as a technological powerhouse, but as a destination rooted in deep aesthetics and mindfulness.

We’re excited to announce that Lifestylehotels The Book – 20th & 21st Edition is now available through the renowned Monocle Online Shop!

Adam and Eve might have left the apple hanging on the tree had they known about the heavenly Puradies. Nestled on a sun-kissed plateau in Leogang, the resort—home to the Ess:enz restaurant—feels like a taste of paradise itself. Here, not only do countless plants thrive, but also the creative ideas that turn them into seductive, gourmet-level dishes. The real temptation? It’s not just in the apple, but in a cleverly crafted carrot or a perfectly plated portion of Nidei…

Still waters run deep, so they say. But what about dark waters? Dark waters are profound, sometimes healing, but definitely fascinating. Just like the Schwarzsee in Kitzbühel. Under the watchful eye of the Wilder Kaiser, not only the gentle waves of the water unfold here, but also the gentle waves of relaxation at the Alpenhotel Kitzbühel.

When we talk about eclecticism at Paragon 700, we mean a particularly rich and unique form of it. This is not just a fusion of two styles—it is much more. The boutique hotel in the heart of Ostuni is a gem where Ulrike Bauschke and interior Designer and architect Pascale Lauber have woven together stories from various eras and countless cultures. You can feel this even before stepping inside: The palazzo, with its 15 rooms and idyllic garden, the largest private garden in the White City, glows in red—a striking contrast in a city otherwise bathed almost entirely in white.

The cherry blossoms, or Sakura, symbolize the transience and beauty of life in Japan. In 2025, the blooming season in Kyoto has begun earlier than usual, offering travelers a unique opportunity to experience this natural spectacle in a special atmosphere. An ideal sanctuary during this time is Genji Kyoto, a boutique hotel that harmoniously blends tradition and modern comfort.

High up in the Kumaon Mountains, amidst the breathtaking landscapes of Uttarakhand, lies a place full of mysticism and tranquility: the Kasar Devi Temple, better known as “Hippie Hill.” For centuries, this magical site has attracted seekers, travelers, and artists – and just a stone’s throw away, The Kumaon offers a luxurious oasis that perfectly complements the spiritual ambiance of the region.

Berlin-Charlottenburg has undergone a fascinating transformation in recent years: once known as a bourgeois district, a creative and cosmopolitan scene has emerged around Kantstraße. Here, art, gastronomy, and urban lifestyle blend in a unique way – and right in the middle of it all is Hotel Wilmina, a hidden gem that serves as both a retreat and a source of inspiration.

If the father of medicine were to seek a wellness oasis today, his path might lead him to the Gundari Resort on Folegandros – a place where ancient Greek healing wisdom meets modern spa culture.

In a world of rapid change and constant movement, we seek what remains—a connection that ties everything together. THE Stylemate Issue No. 01 | 2025, titled “The Invisible Thread”, explores these unseen connections between people, cultures, and ideas. What binds us together? Which places and experiences reveal deeper connections?

You can’t see it, but you can feel it – especially when it’s as pure as here in Aschau im Chiemgau, a small town in Bavaria where the exceptional quality of the air has even been proven to be good. The Agrad Chaletdorf is located on the outskirts of the idyllic climatic health resort in a landscape that lets you breathe a sigh of relief.

Tuscany – a land of rolling hills, golden light, and timeless beauty. For centuries, this enchanting region has drawn travelers in search of inspiration and tranquility. In a world that often moves too fast, Tuscany provides the perfect setting for mindful travel – a slower, more conscious way of experiencing the world. Here, art and nature blend harmoniously, sustainability meets authenticity, and every moment invites you to be fully present. Two exceptional boutique hotels – Locanda al Colle and Follonico – embody this philosophy and offer an immersive journey into the heart of Tuscany.

Luxury travel is evolving. Sustainability, mindfulness, and holistic wellbeing are becoming increasingly central. The latest report, “New Codes of Luxury: Longevity & Wellbeing Strategies” by The Future Laboratory, highlights a growing trend among travelers seeking destinations that go beyond traditional comfort. The demand is for places that offer not only relaxation but also a deeper meaning and a lasting impact on both body and mind.

Nestled in the untouched nature of the South Tyrolean Ahrntal Valley, OLM is a hotel that impresses not only with its extraordinary architecture but also with its holistic philosophy. This energy self-sufficient aparthotel seamlessly combines sustainable luxury with a deep connection to nature.

An inner courtyard at Hotel SEPP, reminiscent of a piazza with its steps and seating areas, forms the heart of the building. It serves as a symbol of how old and new, nature and design, indoors and outdoors, tradition and modernity, as well as near and far, enrich one another. Harmony here is not created through uniformity but through the interplay of contrasts. A place of tranquility for both guests and staff.

The world may be in turmoil, but on a small island in the Cyclades, you hardly notice it. Daily life here is so calm that Folegandros feels like a symbol of the good old days. With its rugged cliffs, sparse vegetation, and the endless expanse of the Aegean, the connection to the island’s origins is deeply felt. The Gundari Luxury Resort blends seamlessly into its intimate, timeless, and natural surroundings.

An informal boutique hotel in a peaceful green setting, offering breathtaking views, unique design, contemporary art, and welcoming hosts.

In the Mountains of India, One Finds the Meaning of Life—or so they say. Especially on Hippie Hill. The spiritual energy of the Kasar Devi Temple extends all the way to The Kumaon, a design retreat featuring minimalist architecture by Pradeep Kodikara and Jineshi Samaraweera. Here, ample space and tranquility provide the perfect setting for a healing quest for truth, wisdom, and freedom.

Can an Ancient Asian Tea Ceremony and a Mallorcan Stone Courtyard Tell the Same Story? At first glance, it may seem unlikely—but upon closer inspection, they share a profound connection: harmony with nature, simplicity, and respect for tradition. At Es Racó d’Artà, a tranquil retreat in the untouched northeast of Mallorca, Asian influences blend naturally and seamlessly into the surroundings.

Es gibt Geschenke, die man auspackt – und solche, die man erlebt. In einer Welt, die sich immer schneller dreht, ist gemeinsame Zeit das Wertvollste, was wir verschenken können. Eine Reise, eine Auszeit, ein Moment, der bleibt.

Ah yes! This is what it feels like when you find your inner self again. In everyday life, we often get lost in work or other distractions and forget to be mindful of ourselves. But there are places that can help you to embark on this powerful journey again. For example, the four-star-superior Hotel Alpin Juwel – a gem with a holistic detox retreat.

The number five is pronounced “go” in Japanese. And we gladly accept this invitation. Where is the journey taking us? To the financial district of Tokyo, into a hundred-year-old former bank building that now houses the K5 Hotel. The interior design, crafted by Swedish architecture firm Claesson Koivisto Rune, is based on Japanese life philosophies, which often blend seamlessly with Scandinavian design principles. These five design elements reveal the underlying concepts:

Vom Pyjama in den Skianzug? Wäre möglich, denn der Skitag im Gradonna beginnt direkt vor der Hoteltüre. Kein mühsames Schleppen der Ausrüstung, keine lange Anfahrt: das 4-Sterne-Mountain-Superior-Resort ist direkt in die Natur eingebettet und nur einen Schritt von der Piste entfernt. Den Schlafanzug kann man dann gleich wieder anziehen, wenn man den Blick am Abend über die greifbar nahen Dreitausender schweifen lässt.

Certamente, Venice belongs on the bucket list and probably some of you reading these lines have already strolled through St Mark’s Square, stopped for a Bellini at Harry’s Bar or been to the pavilion show at the Biennale. But what about organising a party in the Serenissima? No? Eureka! We’ve found something. A hotel in a historic palazzo in the sestiere Cannaregio that can be booked for events.

It shimmers, shines and glows at the Sportresidenz Zillertal. A glow-up at the Tyrolean Lifestylehotel brings innovations, modernisation and more quality. A rapprochement with the times. A sign of reflection. A spark that ignites:

The Lifestylehotels™ Smart Traveller programme gives you an exclusive opportunity to experience exceptional hotels - at unbeatable prices. Discover how you can immerse yourself in the world of our unique hotels with particularly attractive conditions and what other benefits await you.

In the fast-paced world we live in, escaping to the countryside is the perfect way to recharge and reconnect with nature. LIFESTYLEHOTELS™ offers a curated selection of countryside retreats where mindful travelers can unwind, surrounded by breathtaking landscapes and serene environments. Here are our top three countryside destinations, each paired with a unique hotel that promises relaxation and inspiration.

In an era where city life is becoming increasingly hectic, travelers are looking for places that allow them to experience the vibrant pulse of a metropolis while finding tranquility. LIFESTYLEHOTELS™ offers exclusive retreats in Antwerp, Berlin, and Tokyo that blend design, comfort, and mindfulness amidst bustling urban environments. These urban retreats are more than just hotels – they are destinations in their own right.

Mindful travel is about more than just exploring new places; it’s about immersing yourself in the essence of a destination, embracing its culture, and connecting deeply with its natural surroundings. Lifestylehotels™ has carefully curated three exceptional destinations for travelers seeking serenity, authenticity, and unforgettable experiences.

Lifestylehotels expands its portfolio with two new members: the eco-conscious Serra Nature Eco Smart Hotel near Valencia and the stylish Hotel MOTTO in the heart of Vienna. Both properties exemplify exceptional comfort, sustainability, and distinctive design.

A stylish retreat on the Greek coast that impresses with its unique architecture and creates a serene environment for moments of mindfulness.

Sunny dune landscapes, beach chairs, cycling by the bay – when you think of the German Baltic Sea, you probably dream of mild summer holidays. But what does it actually look like here in winter? Especially in the run-up to Christmas, the Baltic Sea shows a very special side. The sea becomes rougher, the play of colours in the sky is more intense and other enchanting natural phenomena delight guests. The SeeHuus Lifestyle Hotel on Timmendorfer Strand is a cosy retreat for a winter stay.

The tree, with its roots that reach deep and strong into the earth and its crown stretching up to the sky, is the natural embodiment of the link between the earthly and the spiritual. It is a reminder to remain grounded while striving upwards. Also aware of this are the new owners of the Treehotel in northern Sweden, where you can spend a night in unique architect-designed treehouses in an unspoilt forest.

Mindfulness: no, it’s not just a word for grown-ups. Children can be mindful, too. They might even be better at it than us adults. At the Mia Alpina in the Zillertal, young and old can experience moments that make it easy to stay in the moment: the avid observation of a squirrel as it leaps from tree to tree. The exuberant joy before going down a water slide. The careful stroking of a fluffy rabbit. Or the pleasure of cuddling up to mum or dad to read a book. And from December, there will be even more.

Bathed in the stillness of the morning, I took a conscious walk from the sublime Es Racó d’Artà up Puig des Racó. The cool autumn air, the scent of pine trees mixed with the distant salty hint of the sea and the rustle of leaves under my feet were my constant companions. The stony path required my full attention. I felt my breath, quiet and even, and my steps adapted to the gentle rhythm..

Is there really a place called Maria Alm? Yes! Even if it does sound a bit like you’ve discovered an isolated place with an impressive name, a pilgrimage church and an idyllic mountain and meadow panorama. And in Maria Alm there is also a Josef, although his surname is Sepp. He’s the one who’s in charge of all the excitement round here with his eponymous hotel for “children over 21”, as he calls his guests.

How do you capture the essence of a place? One way to do it is through language. Learning basic words and phrases doesn’t just show respect, it also helps you to understand the people and their region a little better. It’s particularly interesting in South Tyrol, where melodic Italian meets rustic Tyrolean, resulting in as many dialects as there are valleys. At the OLM Nature Escape in the Ahrntal, you’ll encounter the language as soon as you read the name of the Eco Aparthotel. You’ll have to "waitamochn" (move on) to find out what “Olm” means and which other South Tyrolean terms are used here.

The magical effect of the full moon is hard to ignore, don’t you think? I mean, it can move the sea, cause wolves to howl, make dreams more vivid, enhance creativity and bring hidden feelings to the surface. It can also transport you to a different world, like it does at the La Valise San Miguel de Allende hotel in Mexico, where a door shaped like a full moon leads to a secret internal courtyard.

Or is it N for Nesslerhof? We’re happy to go with both. The Neudegger family has redesigned the garden at their wellness hotel in Grossarl and turned it into a natural and productive place of abundance and harmony – with fruit for the kitchen, wormwood for the bar, water for refreshment and flowers for the soul. Sounds like a modern-day Garden of Eden? That it is!

Hidden among the more famous Cycladic islands like Santorini and Mykonos lies Folegandros – an island that, despite its unparalleled beauty, remains off the beaten tourist track. Here, where rugged cliffs plunge into the crystal-clear Aegean Sea and picturesque villages dot the hilly landscape, you can experience the authentic Greece in its purest form.

Some people collect stamps – others collect special plants. The story of the garden surrounding Seegut Zeppelin begins in 1907, when the former textile manufacturer Gustav Gminder had a villa built on the shores of Lake Constance as a summer retreat. As far as we know, he was not fond of stamps, but exotic trees from all over the world – including a sequoia from California. And because the property has always been in careful hands over the years, we can still admire this diverse stock of trees today. And much more besides. Because the Fennel family is now respectfully continuing this legacy.

With its striking shape and imposing presence, the Matterhorn is not only the symbol of Zermatt, but also an eternal source of inspiration for architecture, design and lifestyle. The Hotel Matterhorn Focus is a perfect example of this harmonious combination of nature and modern luxury.

The Alentejo region, one of Portugal's most untouched areas, has been gaining more and more attention in recent years. In particular, the small coastal village of Comporta has become a magnet for travelers seeking the antithesis of mass tourism. Nestled amidst rice fields, pine forests, and endless sandy beaches, a new form of tourism is emerging here—one centered on mindfulness, sustainability, and slow living.

Mediterranean sanctuary on the undisturbed east coast of Mallorca that is in tune with nature – for adults only.

We went in search of something very special in each destination - and we found it. Discover our 7 Lifestylehotels in Greece and embark on 7 unforgettable experiences.

Törggelen is one of the oldest and most authentic traditions in South Tyrol, still cherished by locals and visitors alike. This autumn custom combines convivial evenings with good food, wine, and the picturesque landscapes of South Tyrol's vineyards. But what exactly is Törggelen, where does the term come from, and how can this special tradition be experienced in connection with modern Lifestylehotels?

Nestled in the rolling hills of Tuscany lies the charming Follonico Hotel in Montefollonico, a small, hidden village known for its authentic atmosphere and picturesque landscape. Follonico is more than just a hotel – it’s a place that captures the soul of the region, offering guests the chance to immerse themselves in true Tuscan life.

Hosting but not having to worry about anything? We’ve got you covered! The Refugium Lunz is not only a haven for travellers, but also a place that can be booked for all kinds of events and occasions.

There are some moments in the mountains that are particularly beautiful because you can’t predict or evoke them. They just happen. This includes the appearance of animals in nature.

A good starting point for the search for the so-called Big Five is the Gradonna****s Mountain Resort at Kals am Großglockner.

The golden twilight of the year with its cosy atmosphere, warm colours and pleasantly cooler days is a benevolent invitation to slow down. Autumn is a good time to retreat, look inside yourself and satisfy your need for security and warmth. At Puradies, you can do all this easily thanks to the Heaven Spa or on a retreat.

Even as a child, she was welcomed by the guests at her parents’ establishment with a glass of schnapps in their hands. As a born and bred “Puschtrerin” [someone from Pustertal] and with experience in hospitality, Gudrun Huber now runs the Hofergut in her South Tyrolean homeland. With a great deal of passion and enthusiasm, she looks after both her guests and the almost 1,000-year-old property. She’s like the Fairy Godmother of the building. We asked her about where the walls express their historic charm, which collector’s items are hidden here and what she takes out of the smokehouse at night, plus much more.

The walk into the forest is taken literally here. Thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows, the Hotel des Horlogers not only offers numerous panoramic views of the surrounding sea of spruce trees, you will also come across sculptures made of branches and oversized truffles. The Horloger's culinary table takes you a little deeper into the forest. Guests are even invited to take off their shoes to feel the moss and wood shavings on the ground with their bare feet.

You can tell a lot about the ElisabethHotel from outside its two buildings: Tyrolean tradition and contemporary design are at one here. The original building with the usual gables, balconies and cut-outs greets guests with warmth, while the minimal, curved structure elegantly suggests that you move with the times. In the interior of the hotel in Mayrhofen, this symbiosis continues in all its splendour. You experience how old and new work together – “guat zsam”, as they might say in Tyrolean dialect.

Natural materials, an earthy colour palette, handmade light fittings and baskets, bespoke designer furniture from their own shop, antiques and a special fragrance – the interior of The Wild is a love letter to modern design and ancient Greece: paradise with a delightfully wild side.

Ten things to say about the newly opened Seegut Zeppelin:

The Küglerhof in South Tyrol is surrounded by vineyards, meadows, forests and panoramic views. Owner Karoline Dilitz affectionately calls the surrounding 3.5 hectares of her hotel the Green Island. What is there to experience in the garden oasis? Lots of greenery, plus this and that, but above all peace and dolce vita.

All good things come in threes, so the saying goes. Among these good things is the trio of hosts at the Pfösl nature hotel. Brigitte, Eva and Daniel have created an oasis of well-being with a holistic concept in South Tyrol, near Bolzano. The complex is located on a high plateau and surrounded by meadows and forests. It is framed by the three Dolomite peaks Schlern, Rosengarten and Latemar. Nature, mindfulness and indulgence are the main priorities at the Pfösl. How fitting that the number three also represents perfection.

Es flackert, es strahlt Wärme aus, es zieht an, es beruhigt und es verbindet –- Feuer hat eine magische Wirkung. Beim Food Circle im Hotel Sublime Comporta spielt es die Hauptrolle. Das gastronomische Erlebnis lässt Chef’s Table und Lagerfeuer miteinander verschmelzen.

Watch a blade of grass in the wind, watch the sun over the mountains, listen to the birds chirping, look up at the sky, look up at the sky a little longer, breathe in, breathe out, breathe deeply. Nature grounds us, nature makes us calm, nature helps us to leave everyday life behind. In Puradies, we encounter nature in many different ways.

The Croatian islands of Brač and Hvar, sparkling jewels of the Adriatic, offer an unrivalled blend of natural beauty, culture and adventure. Despite their proximity to each other, they are distinctly different and promise unique experiences for every visitor.

Both islands offer fascinating experiences, but each in its own unique way.

By the time the shouts of Jedermann echo through the streets of Salzburg, it is clear that the festival summer has begun. While the Ouverture Spirituelle provides the classical prelude, Don Giovanni seduces his Zerlina and Herbert Blomstedt, almost 100 years old, is ready to conduct the Philharmonic Orchestra, the city itself once again becomes a stage. Here people stroll, discuss, shop and laugh… The Hotel Stein has always been one of the venues.

In the middle of the Aegean Sea, off the beaten track, lies the enchanting island of Folegandros,a jewel of the greek Cyclades. Known for its unspoilt beauty and authentic atmosphere, Folegandros offers travellers the opportunity to immerse themselves in the slow pace of island life and experience a sustainable way of life that is deeply rooted in tradition.

A workplace where you can hear birds chirping and see spider monkeys is something special. The dishes that Chef Carlos Bordanave and Sous-Chef Sergio Sanchez serve their guests at the Flora restaurant in the Hotel Boca de Agua in Mexico are just as special as the natural working environment. In conversation with the two restaurateurs, they talk about ice cream with fruit from the garden that their guests never forget, refreshing cocktails with tequila and its high-proof competitor, and mouth-watering tacos.

It looks a bit like a spaceship that has landed here in the picturesque South Tyrolean landscape. The OLM Nature Escape is definitely a building with a recognisable character. How did it come about to plan a round building, what challenges are associated with the 360° angle and why is the shape also a symbol of sustainability?

A new chapter is being opened at the Hofergut in the picturesque Pustertal Valley in South Tyrol. From now on, you can stay here in a modern ambience in a historical setting. Sounds like a contradiction? Not at all! The listed walls have been carefully brought up to date and now shine in new old splendour!

If she had a hotel, you would be allowed to walk barefoot here – over warm wooden floors and green grass. There would be no bling bling, but beautiful design and interesting art. You would also be able to play boccia! Because everyone loves boccia, right? People would eat pasta and enjoy the sophisticated slow-food cuisine. And drink vino! Lots of vino! You could do whatever you want in this hotel. How good that she really does have a hotel. She is Karoline Dilitz and she has just breathed new life into her Küglerhof in South Tyrol. Curious? We asked the hostess for an interview.

It’s only four letters and yet it’s not always so easy to find calm. What seems challenging in everyday life is easily achieved at Puradies Naturressort in Leogang…

Zash, Bsss, Mhh, Ahh… at the boutique hotel between the sea and Mount Etna, you can hear many sounds. We spoke to owner Carla Maugeri to discover where they are coming from and what other sounds can be heard at the Sicilian country house.

An oasis of tranquility in the bustling heart of the metropolis. A place of contemplation and retreat, serving as a counterpoint to the bustling activities of the urban surroundings. The historically preserved ensemble, consisting of a former courthouse and a women’s prison, has been redesigned, expanded, and repurposed by the architects Grüntuch Ernst. It now houses the Hotel Wilmina, the Lovis Restaurant, and an art and cultural space called Amtsalon.

Between the forest and the orchard is the perfect place at the Apfelhotel to unwind, and there’s now a new Yoga– and movement room to do the same. The natural shades in the light-filled space ground you, the wood provides strength and the floaty curtains allow negative thoughts to be carried away on the wind. In addition to yoga or tabata sessions, meditation is another opular option with chanting, singing bowls and harmonium. Would you like a taster of what to expect? Yoga teacher Silvia takes us on an enlightening voyage through our bodies.

Imagine going on holiday in search of relaxation and experiences and finding something much more valuable instead – namely yourself. Es Racó d’Artà is such a special place that takes a step back and at the same time offers enough stimulation to create space for being human!

Read for yourself what a day at Es Racó d’Artà could look like…

The circle closes at OLM, the round Eco Aparthotel in the South Tyrolean Taufer Valley. It all began with a millstone - now guests can expect a refined "Olm" character in harmony with nature. Harmonious architecture, a forward-looking catering concept and a hotel that is energy self-sufficient and certified for its sustainability characterise the OLM. Everything runs smoothly here:

Anyone who recognises this song from the 1950s will know that it continues by referring to a very special fragrance. Exactly which fragrance isn’t specified, we just know that it’s seductive. Perhaps it’s the calming scent of lavender from a mountain pasture, or the powerful fragrance of pine from the parlour. Maybe it’s referring to the sweet smell of Kaiserschmarren (chopped pancakes) coming from the tavern on the mountain. If the song had come from Paznauntal, all of that may well have been the case. At the Bergwiesenglück boutique hotel, it smells the same indoors as it does outdoors, and that doesn’t mean it just smells of fresh air. Eyes and nose at the ready.

How can you make your working day a little more varied? Our tip: with a workation stay at the Baltic Sea in Hotel SAND! Swap the office chair for a beach chair, the natural materials used for the hotel's interior inspire completely new, sustainable ideas.

Salzburg Allegro - Interview with Margot Weindorfer, Director Hotel Stein

While dry bread and tap water were served in the former women's prison a few decades ago, the Wilmina hotel ensemble now reaches for the culinary stars. The Lovis restaurant with adjoining bar is a star in Berlin's gourmet sky. And it continues to sparkle…

The Apfelhotel in South Tyrol is difficult to categorise. Somehow it doesn't fit into any category. It's not rustic, but neither is it chic. It is what it is, Erich Fried would say. It's a happy place, we say. Because the fusion of farm and hotel creates something quite unique here: an unobtrusive luxury holiday!

It splashes, gurgles and rushes in the Tauferer Ahrntal: the circular Eco-Aparthotel is built very close to the water and, like its South Tyrolean surroundings, is strongly connected to the elixir of life.

Tuscany is known for its rolling hills. Locanda al Colle, a charming boutique hotel with art, heart and personality, is located on one of them.

The Cyclades, consisting of a total of 39 islands, more than half of which are inhabited, present themselves as an extremely diverse archipelago. Santorini, Mykonos, and Paros, vibrant, breathtakingly beautiful, and representative of the Cyclades, stand out.

Italian influence in Salzburg began in the 16th century, when Venetian architect Vincenzo Scamozzi was comissioned with the planning of a new city layout. In cooperation with his successor Santino Solari, he created the look for which the city of Mozart today is world-famous. The connection of Salzburg and Venice is emphasized at Hotel Stein with an innovative concept.

Where modern and minimalist meet. Where wilderness and nature come together. That’s when you know you are at Ambiente Sedona. We talked to boss sisters Jennifer and Colleen and they told as all about Ambiente.

Anyone that thinks it’s all quiet in Salzburg after the brilliant Festspiele in the summer is grossly mistaken. In autumn and winter, the famous city of Mozart plays host to a number of musical and cultural events, plus of course magical Christmas markets.

SANDwindandweather – that’s probably the best way to describe the feeling of freedom that comes over you when you can visit the Baltic Sea in autumn and winter.

The hotel displays large-format art photos of the festival and thus conveys the real Salzburg flair.

Alpine Lifestyle is a term that expresses in particular the energy of the habitat in which we move. For me it means preserving the themes of one's identity, architecturally this is illustrated by the partly crazy wooden facade. Here we recycled old wood. Built in special patterns, oriented ourselves to the mountain farmers in the Alpine region and staged their craft.

Welcome to the heart of the festival of Salzburg, where the elegant Hotel Stein opens its doors to guests from all over the world. In the year 2023, this unique hotel once again becomes the perfect retreat for art and culture enthusiasts visiting the renowned Salzburg Festival.
