»We figure out the essence of the hotel, its philosophy and idiosyncrasy.«

Our last stay was in Austria at “Das Edelweiss Salzburg Mountain Resort” in beautiful Salzburger Land.

I think every destination brings certain surprises and magic as soon as you are on location and really get to know it. Through the close contact that we have with the hotels during a production, we are allowed to immerse ourselves intensively in their world. And, above all, we get to know the personalities and their specific approach as a host. As the saying goes: the 5th star can only be earned through service.

The plant which is the namesake of the resort „Edelweiss“ stands for love and community which is related to the hotel’s own philosophy: To be a place for young and old. A great aspect of DAS EDELWEISS Salzburg Mountain Resort is without a doubt the separation of family and adult areas. Moreover, the family owned venue is perfectly situated in the Grossarltal also known as „the Valley of Mountain huts“.

Every hotel has its own soul and character. It is not just an empty building, but a special place where you spend time, want to pamper yourself and forget everyday life. Our treasure hunt therefore consists of finding those places of longing that are above average in all criteria.

Of course, one must never forget that the decision for a hotel is subjective and strongly influenced by one’s own interests. What is especially important to you? Flawless service that reads your every wish from your lips? A romantic candlelight dinner over the rooftops? The special atmosphere on an overwater villa or the adrenaline rush of a mountain bike trail? Therefore we try to consider criteria that go beyond the hotel and the service itself.

It’s not easy to choose a hotel when you can assume that all the top-class “star carriers” offer impeccable service, cleanliness and exclusivity. This means that we figure out the essence of the hotel, its philosophy and idiosyncrasy, and capture them in our Signature Collection through on-site visual content production. In the end we are more than an editorial platform as we offer the hotels full creative concepts and video productions.

The content that we produce and design on site is made freely available to the hotel afterwards for their own use. With every video clip one of our editors is creating on site, we offer more than the ordinary hotel guide by providing authentic content. This unique way of presentation not only sets us apart from the rest, but also offers a virtual journey that “guides” the reader through the hotel’s world on site.

One’s own safety and trust in responsible hosts have of course become two particularly important factors that need to be attended to. In addition to that, it’s about the details and questions like: how spacious is the spa area so that I can feel safe? Is the architecture of the hotel generally designed to provide sufficient privacy? Can I easily imagine being there myself?

Through our visual staging, we can give the reader this assurance and a true insight into their potential dream destination.

The next trip will take us to one of the most romantic places on our planet: Tuscany. This region is full of art, a huge cultural heritage, history and picturesque villages that invite you to linger.

I can’t wait to explore this breathtaking landscape, believe me!

That’s a tough one. Just come over to Hotels in Heaven and find your next favourite destination. Plus: check out the little summer escape series we will present here on The Educated Cool from next week on!
