LUX Hotel & Spa Awards 2016
http://lux.acquisition-intl.com/ 20 LUX - Hotel & Spa Awards 2016 Best Mountain View Hotel 2016 - South Tyrol & Most Revitalising Holistic Spa Treatments “For a long time, hotels in South Tyrol were offering a “standard hotel product” – accommodation, good food and personal service. Now, guests are more and more demanding and tourism is becoming a high quality sector. So hotels will have to focus their service and product range. We are glad, that we did not have to invent or stage-manage our service and offer to the guest. Being a Climate Hotel feels more than natural to us. It is true that hotel customers are constantly seeking new things. In particular, many customers are eager to see how technology can enhance their enjoyment. At the Gitschberg, its outwardly modern appearance belies a far simpler approach. The rugged beauty of north-eastern Italy is laid out before any visitor – an expansive veranda is strategically positioned to make best use of the hotel’s south-facing vista. “At a first step guests fall in love with the stunning panoramic view,” Barbara asserts. “Maranza is a great place, 1,400 meters above everyday life. Where true luxury means space, silence and proximity to nature. When guests enter into the hotel they will be welcomed by the warm and charming atmosphere of our modern-alpine architecture, a sunny and honest smile and a delightful mountain cocktail.” Best Mountain View Hotel 2016 - South Tyrol & Most Revitalising Holistic Spa Treatments For more than 40 years the Gitschberg is a small family owned hotel in the heart of South Tyrol mountains with breath-taking view over the Dolomites. In the words of the owners, Barbara and Horst Peintner, “this dramatic vista confirms our connection with nature, our emphasis on a vital environmental protection, and the transparent and economic development of our company.” Company: Hotel Gitschberg Email:

Regional and homemade food in the restaurant, oils and essences made with herbs from our mountains to enrich the holistic spa treatments – technology is more used in order to improve our environmental engagement.” The hotel’s Fenilia Spa, too, treats its customers to the view that simplicity is the basis for health, beauty and all-round well-being. In the summer months, the panoramic pool offers an invigorating cool whilst presenting sprawling summit views – the perfect fuel for reenergising the wanderlust of any visitor. In the winter months, meanwhile, the four saunas and enriching spa treatments are built upon the power of Alpine nature to include natural cosmetics. Once again, simplicity is intrinsic here, just as it is to the Hotel Gitschberg’s other accoutrements. To underpin the hotel’s emphasis on quality of service, special attention is given to the staff of the Gitschberg. “Our staff has changed significantly since our reorientation. Most of them are from the very near region and appreciate our “youthful team and management style”. They share our commitment to nature and the regional focus and we try to involve them as much as possible.” The future of the Hotel Gitschberg, for Barbara, rests upon their continued ability to attract new visitors. “We will continue to improve – our service as well our hardware facts. Not in terms of quantity but in terms of quality. For example, our mountain kitchen still gives enormous range to develop a healthy and delightful nutrition without renunciation.” The stone and woodwork of the Gitschberg carries pride and love in its structure. The Gitschberg Hotel is a resort for anyone who loves simplicity and is seeking something truly special. “A holiday at our ClimaHotel will give a good feeling to anyone who lives in a conscious and sustainable way: pleasure, health and the joy of living in harmony with nature. Supported by energy-efficient architecture, natural materials and integration of our valuable local resources, regional specialties and quality farm products. “We see our boutique hotel as a low-key, down-to- earth home in the mountains. From the “hardware perspective”, we built it in the way we love to live and to make holidays – cosy, with modern-alpine charm and direct contact with our great nature. But we think that we convince even more in the “software facts – our service”: we love our everyday work and are more than glad that our staff is doing so as well.” Hotel Gitschberg
