There are moments when you got the feeling that time
stands still. You have landed in a space-time vacuum in
which everything before and everything after does not exist.
It is the moment in which you have landed in the „now“
and experience the present very consciously. This is what
happens when you have found a place that is the only right
place at that specific time.
This described phenomenon usually comes over us when
we are traveling. When we find ourselves in a place where
we see our own personality reflected. In the 17th edition
of „The Book“ we show you such places. They are hotels
that revolve around good ideas, outstanding experiences,
attentive staff and above all people, who are passionate
about what they do. They create a gateway to adventure,
relaxation, new experiences and to ourselves.
The next journey is only a few pages away. Let the feeling
wash over you that comes from discovering a place that
you know you must see with your own eyes. There are
many places to which one feels attracted, although they
could not be more different. What unites them? You can
find them in the 400 pages of this book and they are the
reason why we cannot stop traveling.

LESEHOTEL
BAD GOISERN AM HALLSTÄTTERSEE | UPPER AUSTRIA | AUSTRIA
N E W M E M B E R
Surrounded by books and silence
A house that is completely dedicated to books, listening,
reading, reading aloud, writing and thinking in connection
with dialogue and play. Together with the designer Gregor
Wöckel and the company Unykat, a sustainable book-affine
design was realised. As „Zweimalschön“, 20 Viennese ho-
tel rooms on the mountain experience a resurrection. The
ergonomic plug-and-play reading bed can be moved freely
in the room and is optimised for the reading voice with
an acoustic device. The personal book bar is individually
stocked with new publications and can be taken any-
where from the room. Fancy even more books? Browse the
vertically laid out library that spans four floors. The unique
Cross-Industry Innovation project is more than just a hotel.

At the Lesehotel, 16 rooms and 4 suites are constantly sto-
cked with new publications from 20 selected publishers.
In the roof suites, guests float in reading nests above the
valley and enjoy optimal reading conditions in any weather.
A paradise for reading enthusiasts and people who long
for peace and relaxation. The breathtaking view over Lake
Hallstatt and the Dachstein Glacier makes a stay at the
Lesehotel a pleasure in any case.
Finding yourself
The Lesehotel in the Salzkammergut has set itself the
task of helping guests find themselves in peace and quiet.
The silence on the mountain, the darkness at night, which
makes it possible to see the starry splendour of the Milky
Way, are intensified by the sensitive design. The guests
are sovereign and decide situationally: starting with the
position of the plug&play reading bed in the room, the
selection of books in the room and the freely chosen level
of service.
At the Lesehotel, guests have absolute freedom to choose
how they would like to organise their stay. Breakfast is
available all day, even in the room. In the guest kitchen,
guests can cook together or book a chef to cook with them
- surrounded by more cookery books than the guests can
read! Or you can let yourself be pampered all around - just
as it feels good at the moment. The house and garden
belong to the guests as if they were visiting friends.
BEST ROOM
In the Suhrkamp Suite you can enjoy a breathtaking pano-
ramic view of Lake Hallstatt and the Dachstein Glacier. Float
at the highest point of the house and enjoy the exclusive
balcony across the entire width of the room. Your stay will
be a unique pleasure thanks to the new publications of the
Suhrkamp publishing house! Thanks to the ergonomically
shaped backrest of the Plug&Play reading bed, you can
let yourself be read to for hours and enjoy your breakfast,
snacks and excellent wine in your suite.

A PLACE OF INSPIRATION
LESEHOTEL
When your gaze is captivated by Lake Hallstatt and the Dachstein glacier, all you want to do is
sit and look. The silence up on the mountain below the summit is exactly what guests of the
Lesehotel crave on a short holiday for rest and relaxation. The increasing complexity of the
network society makes people experience a deep need for relaxation and inner peace. It is
precisely this longing that the Lesehotel meets as a cross-industry innovation project when it
connects publishers with readers.
1 5
Reading enthusiasts look forward to the
vertical library - over four floors, the central
staircase circles a library of classics, bestsel-
lers and the books that have been displaced by
the novelties in the publishing rooms. Guests
also enjoy the new publications that are always
waiting to be discovered in the house in more
than ample selection.
„20 selected publishers inspire and delight
readers in 20 rooms. This way, guests can
immerse themselves in a different world with
every visit.“
The Lesehotel offers the ideal combination of
reading with mountain biking, climbing, hiking,
cross-country skiing or snowshoeing or - watch
out for the highlight: reading and cooking! The
Reading Hotel not only offers a dining room full
of cookbooks, it also allows guests to recreate
what they have just read together with friends
or a dedicated cooking coach! Of course, the
hotel does the dishes and guests enjoy selec-
ted wines from Austrian vintners.
Pure relaxation
The relaxing effect of reading has been scienti-
fically proven. With the Plug&Play reading and
reading aloud bed, the Lesehotel offers just the
right setting for this. Thanks to the ergonomic
backrest and the acoustic device optimised for
the human voice, you can let yourself be read
to for hours while enjoying the breathtaking
view. You can indulge in daydreams or simply
read. In any case, at an altitude of just over a
thousand metres, you will find exactly what
you have been looking for: Pure relaxation!
Dr. Silke Seemann, economist and also
operator of the Hallstatt Hideaway (see page
53), researches social change and asks quite
pragmatically about the effect on tourism to
keep surprising her guests with new products:
„People need places of retreat that simulta-
neously take them out of everyday life and
lead them into inner peace. The Lesehotel will
be a place of retreat, encounter and exchange.
In any case, a place of inspiration.“
Here and now
Hotels are places that celebrate the tempo-
rary! This is precisely why they are so well
suited for engaging in intensities that one does
not dare to experience in everyday life. The
Lesehotel celebrates this momentum and at
the same time offers the framework to recover
physically to the maximum without sacrificing
the basic creative tension.
„We‘ve all had the experience of how much an
exciting book can take us away from our hectic
everyday lives and relax us so wonderfully!“
The Lesehotel is a place of retreat where one
can meet and rediscover oneself. We often
lose ourselves in the hectic demands of rest-
less everyday life. At the same time, however,
we long for exchange, resonance and encoun-
ter. As well the Lesehotel offers the opportu-
nity to exchange ideas with other guests about
what they have read and to inspire each other.
„The book bar is equipped with books, reading
glasses, water bottle, writing utensils, note-
book and reading light individually for each
guest. It can be carried around the house, as
a very private side table. It serves as an active
means of communication: if a book is placed
on the reading light at arm‘s length, it is an
invitation: I would like to talk about this book!
Anyone who feels like it, can take the book,
read it and then offer to talk. If the book holder
is in a low position, it means: I want to read in
peace.“
Read and enjoy
The Berghof, which dates back to the 1970s,
has been restored to its former glory. A consci-
ous decision was made not to build a new buil-
ding. Here, life can be reflected and dreams
can be made! Both the silence of the forest and
the darkness of the night with the radiance of
the stars make it easy to detach oneself from
everyday life and turn to that which is waiting
to be discovered as potential in everyone.

Indulgence and relaxation at the highest level
At the Alpenstern Panoramahotel in the Bregenzerwald
in Vorarlberg, rest and relaxation are a priority. The hotel
offers a breathtaking view of the idyllic mountain landscape
of Damüls. The distinctive modern yet timeless design by
architect Johannes Kaufmann and Tyrolean interior designer
Stefan Ghetta, provides the Alpenstern with a uniquely cosy
flair. Thanks to the high-quality materials and the homely
atmosphere, the hotel invites you to relax and let go. You
will find peace and coziness, paired with hospitality. The
Bischof and Steinfeld families, and their hotel team, provide
friendly personal care and attention on your summer holi-
days and winter vacations. In particular Bertram Bischof,
who has already converted the original guesthouse into a
hotel and then together with his daughter, son and son-in-
law expanded it into the current hotel, is the good soul of
the house and indispensable for the guests.
N E W M E M B E R
Peter Bischof and Sandro Abel treat their guests to tradi-
tional, but newly interpreted dishes in one of the two hotel
restaurants. From the sun terrace, you have a unique view of
the mountain peaks of the Damülser Horn, the Zitterklapfen
or the Zafernhorn. Aperitifs and cool drinks can be enjoyed
in the NOVUM bar, where unusual and creative cocktails
are created on a world-class level. Those who feel more at
home in the world of wine are in good hands with the hosts
and sommeliers Corina and Maximilian Steinfeld. The infor-
mal atmosphere invites to a relaxed wine tasting evening.

The water trickles soothingly from ornate taps
while I doze on the 40-degree naval stone
in the centre of the room, with comforting
scents of amber, rose and verbena blossom
evoking images of the Orient and stirring my
nose and my senses. The steam surrounding
me makes everything hazy, like a dream from
one of the stories in One Thousand and One
Nights. Even back in the time of the ancient
sultans in their palaces, they swore by the
cleansing effect and benefits for body and
soul of the traditional hammam, a ritual that
offers the ultimate in warmth, cleansing and
pure relaxation.
The Oriental World at the Therme Geinberg
is a sensory retreat and therefore the ideal
place to unwind and escape the everyday.
Following the warmth of the steam bath and
the richness of the olive oil soap, stress quite
literally slips away from my body. Later on,
the hammam master reveals to me his know-
ledge of secret rituals and oriental bathing
culture, while I succumb to the enchantment
of the Orient yet further. The selection of
Turkish and Moroccan treatments on offer is
remarkable, and their names hint at somet-
hing quite spectacular: Emerald of the Sultan,
Ritual of the Sultan, Rose from Marrakech or
A Day in the Desert. All treatments are carried
IMAGES OF THE ORIENT
out in accordance with modern European
standards.
Take a flying carpet ride to inner peace
I opt for the Rose from Marrakech, a 75-minu-
te oriental cleansing ritual using an exclusive
black olive soap combined with a nourishing
body peel. After I have been covered in oil
from head to toe, I receive a traditional full
body massage that frees my body of any
aches and pains and clears my mind.

After an extended bath and a visit to the

drawn to the CHAI Oriental Tea Bar, where tea
is served alongside dried fruits. It’s a fitting
end to this day of oriental bathing. Any stress-

The landscape flickers past rapidly before
the train starts to slow down with a groan,
as if it is reluctant to reduce its speed. We’ve
arrived at the station in Lienz, and we grab
our seven bags and step out onto the plat-
form. A train journey like this has its advan-
tages. Rather than putting your foot flat to
the floor and racing off on holiday, it allows
you to glide away in a ly fashion accompa-

simply your own thoughts. A friendly mem-

THE POWER OF THE REGION
in a hybrid car to Kals, where the fresh, clean
air almost overwhelms us – the resort is a
car-free zone.
“We feel indebted to the power of the region
and to sustainability,” says Martha Schultz
in response to the question as to why it was
important to orient their corporate philoso-
phy towards sustainability, regionality and
nature-inspired architecture from the very
beginning. The multi-award-winning, car-free
mountain resort at the gateway to the Hohe
Tauern National Park is home to the hotel,
41 timber-frame chalets and 12 exclusive
suites, and is guaranteed to delight nature
enthusiasts – be it with the food and natural
cosmetic products from local mountain far-
mers, carbon-neutral bio heat produced by
its own wood pellet boiler, charging stations
for electric cars and electric bikes, or its own
fresh spring water sources.
Cheerful marmots and
invigorating mountain air
Even during the construction of the resort,
85% of the total investment was spent within
a 50-kilometre radius and invested in local
materials. Furthermore, all of the timber
buildings were built using wood from local

forests, and the roofs of the chalets were
planted with regional species, meaning the
structures merge into the forest and can
barely be seen from Kals. The architecture
impresses with its clean lines, while mate-
rials such as spruce, arolla pine, linen, loden
cloth and Kals marble bring nature into the
interior. The view to the outside shows that
wherever nature remains untouched, you’ll
be able to see animals. During a guided hike
with a ranger in the Hohe Tauern National
Park, we encounter cheerful marmots, disco-
ver chamois and even spot a golden eagle.
Back at the resort, we indulge in a moun-
tain fresh body peel that makes use of the
hotel’s own line of vegan cosmetic products,

Magdalena’s, which contain herbs from the
Hohe Tauern National Park and pure moun-
tain spring water with a balanced proportion
of minerals. But the region doesn’t just get
squeezed out of a tube – it’ll also land on
your plate. From the breakfast buffet with
East Tyrolean specialities to midday snacks
and the à la carte evening menu or buffet of
local delicacies – regional produce will be a
treat for your taste buds all day long.
At the end of the holiday, we jump into the
natural bathing pool one last time and soak
up the panoramic mountain view. By the
way, the bathing pool in the garden is hea-
ted by nature as well.
BEAT YOU TO IT!
That’s what you’ll be shouting with glee when you’re able to glide down freshly prepa-
red pistes first thing in the morning, then in the afternoon swing right into the hotel bar.
These and all of our other winter wishes were
granted at the Gradonna Mountain Resort
in the sun-drenched town of Kals am Groß-
glockner. After all, when we’re on holiday we
want everything to be straightforward, espe-
cially in winter when our ski equipment is bul-
ky and our clothes fill more than one suitcase.
The best bit is that we’re staying right on the
slope: no shuttle buses, no trudging through
the snow – simply clip in to your bindings and
enjoy the gentle crunch of the freshly prepa-
red snow on the piste. One of these pistes,
the valley run towards Kals, goes straight
through the Gradonna Mountain Resort past
the hotel and its chalets.

Here we’re just a step away from the largest
ski area in East Tyrol and will be able to
make the most of the 15 cable cars and lifts
at up to 2,426 metres above sea level. A total
of 42 kilometres of pistes are just waiting to
be discovered, and no matter whether you’re
a pro or a newbie, a snowboarder or a free-
rider, there is guaranteed to be a slope for
everyone. And to top it all off, snow is a given
here until spring.
We found everything straightforward at the
superior four-star resort, and not just because
of the direct access to the pistes and the fact
you can ski in, ski out. We got the equipment
for our sporting adventure right here at the
hotel, for both adults and children, and were
even able to book the little ones into ski school
at the same time. And because the youngsters
just couldn’t wait to get started, we had a go
on the magic carpet behind the hotel, where
the professionals of the future captivated us as
they took their first unsteady turns out on the
snow with huge grins on their faces. Tobog-
ganing, cross-country skiing, ski tours, winter
hiking: at the Gradonna Mountain Resort there
is so much on offer. If the kids don’t want to
go out with you, leave them to let off steam at
the kids club: when we pick them up they tell
us all about their trips to the enchanted forest,
the action-packed adventures in nature and all
the new friends they’ve made in the play area.
After such a diverse programme of activities,
it’s time for the more peaceful part of our holi-
day. We definitely still want to have a go at the
family yoga, swim a couple of laps of the pool
and try out the slide in the family area.
Before dinner, and after so much physical
exertion, we schedule in a relaxing massage,
which includes access to the sauna after-
wards. That’s how couples and families alike
can achieve a balance between adventure and
relaxation at the Gradonna – it’s really quite
straightforward.

its closeness to the nature reserve, guests can enjoy the

the beauty of the surrounding nature at the same time. The

Natural materials, exclusive textiles and noble local woods
underline the homely modern flair. Particularly noteworthy
is the magnificent lake view of the rooms and suites and
the wonderful tranquillity, although the nightlife of Kitzbü-
hel is just a 15 minutes’ walk away.
The Alpenhotel Kitzbühel has 80 rooms and apartments
- the range of suites will be expanded by July 2021 with
the addition of the Steghaus and Lake Side Lodge directly

which will be 2-storey – with a balcony or terrace and pri-

After taking in a deep breath you can go back
to your cosy suite suitably refreshed and enjoy
the idyllic panorama that towers above the
shimmering layer of ice on the lake from the
warmth of the interior. Although the Alpenhotel
Kitzbühel is located in the middle of the infa-

Alpine luxury here is more about the peace
that can be found in nature. And time seems to
stand still for a moment.
Those who prefer things a little livelier can get
to the centre of Kitzbühel in just a few minutes
and make the most of the luxury boutiques and
cosy cafés that entice more than just fashionis-
tas to take a relaxed stroll around. Afterwards,
it’s back to the Lakeside Lodge, where you can
put your feet up and allow your gaze to once
again wander peacefully across the lake to
take in the stunning Wilder Kaiser.
As soon as you arrive here by the lake, sur-
rounded by the incredible mountain landsca-
pe of this unique region, you immediately feel
a sense of slowing down, and find it much
easier to unwind than during a normal hectic
day at home. Before you treat yourself to a
culinary experience in the famous town of
Kitzbühel, or even within the Alpenhotel itself,
we recommend stopping for a moment to
first take in a deep breath in this truly special
place, as the fresh mountain air is known for
its healing properties.
Das Steghaus with a sunny terrace directly
at the Schwarzsee is the new á la Carte Res-
taurant of the Alpenhotel Kitzbühel. Regional
and seasonal delights are the guiding princi-
ples of the culinary concept.

PUR A DIE S | RUS T IC LUXURY
Your own little hut from which to go off and
enjoy skiing and hiking – for many, that sounds
like a dream. And sometimes a hut sounds
a long way off luxury. It’s different at the
Puradies nature resort, which boasts seve-
ral four-star chalets to choose from that will
comfortably sleep up to six people. The luxury
huts have been constructed in an organic way
using lots of wood and will ensure a total sense
of well-being from the minute you arrive to the
minute you leave. It’s almost as if you were at
home, but then again, nothing like it – becau-
se here, you can have your organic breakfast
brought right to your chalet in the morning, so
you can sit by the open fire, flick through the
newspaper or let your gaze meander across
the view of the Salzburgerland region. It makes
for a fortifying start to the day. No matter
whether you then venture out onto the 270
kilometres of ski runs in the Skicircus Saal-
bach Hinterglemm resort (remember: ski in,
ski out) or would prefer a romantic sleigh ride,
as long as the sun is shining, no one can resist
the snowy winter wonderland that’s right on
your doorstep. The crunch of your shoes gently
sinking into the snow, the warmth of the sun
on your face, the choice between adventures
on the slopes and the tranquillity of nature…
RUSTIC LUXURY
A holiday in a hut evokes images of a rustic atmosphere – a four-star hotel, on the other hand,
is all about luxury. You’ll find both of these in the cosy chalets at the Puradies nature resort,
where you can spend your holiday in private as a couple or as a family, and enjoy unobtrusive
luxury combined with sleek, alpine flair.

The Puradies is a small slice of paradise in the
middle of the immense Salzburg mountain
landscape.
As a chalet guest, you’ll also be spoilt for
choice when it comes to cuisine: will you go
for choosing from over 300 regional products
in the hotel grocers, then enjoying a glass of
wine and some local cheese in your chalet, or
would you rather opt for the hotel’s own gour-
met restaurant ESS:ENZ, which is right next
door? There, you will savour natural cuisine
on another level: homemade pasta, truffles,
dry-aged steak, rainbow trout from Saalfelden
and radish sorbet. With delicacies like these,
even dinner will become an unforgettable
experience. Afterwards, why not try one of the
Alps-inspired drinks with wild herbs from the
mountain pastures and the forest around the
hotel, served in the open area in the hotel bar.
It’s worth taking a closer look around, as the
bar and seating areas are made out of around
16,000 cubes of oak that combine together
to form a cohesive work of art that won the
German Design Award 2018. And speaking of
a “cohesive work of art”: that would also be the
best description for this spectacular location,
where nature can be experienced with all of
the senses and our dream of a luxury holiday in
a hut comes true. Just like paradise.

“Premium Private Retreat” is the philosophy of the Elisa-

Zillertal to cater for adults only. An open and spacious lay-
out, large windows, natural materials such as wood, natural

EXCLUSIVE RELAXATION
It’s Friday and travelling is hungry work, so af-
ter a warm greeting at the reception of the Eli-
sabethHotel in Mayrhofen, we tuck in straight
away to a fortifying lunchtime snack. We’re
served a cold meal prepared using regional
ingredients, several of which are produced by
the hotel itself, and soup. We taste our way
through bacon and cheese from the local area,
as well as delicious homemade cake and stru-
del. Back in reception, we’d already glanced
over to the Club, which is furnished with luxuri-
ous leather sofas from Bielefelder Werkstätten
and Florentine glass light fittings by Banci, just
as we had been told. We’ll be sure to pay it
another visit during the weekend.
But right now we don’t feel like having a rest,
so we hop onto some electric bikes instead
and head off on a bike tour – the staff at recep-
tion prepared some great recommendations
for us. We decide to set off for the Speicher-
see in the wild and romantic Stilluptal, a valley
that’s located in the Zillertal Alps Nature Park,
and ride until we reach the Stillupspeicher
reservoir.

When we arrive back at the ElisabethHotel
later on, we round off our active afternoon with
a dip in the basalt pool. The perfect end to
this first day is a candle-lit dinner in one of the
cosy restaurant lounges. While we’re eating
in the Herzerlstube (Heart Lounge), we have
plenty of time to marvel at the antique silver
heart-shaped ornaments dating from a bygone
era that are displayed on the walls. Soothing
piano music is the ideal accompaniment to our
evening, and it’s still tinkling away in our ears
when we get into bed.
Tired legs and refreshing drinks
On Saturday morning, it’s all about getting up
that mountain! We grab our rucksacks and
start the ascent to the Olpererhütte. Situa-
ted at 2,389 metres above sea level, the hut
looks out over the Schlegeisspeicher body of
water in the Zillertal Alps and makes all the
physical exertion worthwhile. We order Kai-
serschmarren (chopped up sweet pancakes)
and enjoy the view of the Zillertal 3000 ski
area. Upon our return to the ElisabethHotel,
we can feel that our calves are worn out so
we decide to bring them back to life with a
massage in the Elisense Treatment Area. The
interesting architecture of the Elisense spa
provides ample space and tranquillity with
saunas, steam baths and the basalt pool,
while the water beds in the quiet room allow
you to float away into a dream world. We

Afterwards, we’re ready for a drink and
decide to watch evening fall while sipping
cocktails on the hotel terrace.
Romantic garden and distillery
We also watched evening become night the
day before, so we order breakfast in bed on
Sunday morning. Our 48 hours are almost
up, but we decide to make the most of the
time we have left. For us, that means going
for a walk around the romantic garden and
taking deep breaths of the lovely clean air.
It’s a tough place to leave, so we soften the
blow by visiting the Zillertal Bier brewery
and pick up some souvenirs to take home. At
least that way we’ll still be able to relive a bit
of our fabulous stay at the ElisabethHotel in

The fact that nature plays a vital role at the
Alpin Juwel, which is set within the famous
Saalbach Hinterglemm ski resort, is obvious
from the very first glance, as the timber faca-
de of the superior four-star hotel draws you in,
with the beautiful mountains of the Pinzgauer
Grasberge gathered around behind it. Here
we enjoy the pure mountain air and really take
a moment to feel it before we head into the
hotel – that special atmosphere that evokes
an instant holiday feeling as soon as you
arrive. Inside, we encounter natural mate-
rials at every turn, and it soon becomes clear
that this is a hotel that places its entire focus
on people and on nature. When cleaning,
the Alpin Juwel doesn’t resort to the usual
POSITIVE VIBES
chemical cleaners, but instead chooses to use
180-degree steam, which is just as reliable in
dealing with bacteria and viruses. Special flow
regulators economise the energising spring
water, while essential oils enrich the air with
positive vibrations. At night, we tuck ourselves
into a sophisticated sleeping system from
SAMINA, which doesn’t just gently send us off
to the land of nod, it also improves our chi and
boosts our immune system. Because of this,
we’re ready to enjoy every day of our holiday
to the max: from start to finish with regional
organic delicacies for breakfast, mind-blo-
wing mountain panoramas during leisurely
walks and authentic Ayurvedic massages
from Sri Lankan therapist Manjula.

The attribute of being “virus-free” is of particular importance in the current climate, but it
has always been the case at the Alpin Juwel Hotel, and it continues to be so now. The fact
that chemicals are not required to achieve this has been proven by the Salzburg hotel, whose

The perfect recharge: atmosphere, soul
food and ayurveda
It is well known that body and soul go hand
in hand, and we come across this kind of
holistic approach throughout the Alpin Juwel
hotel. Alongside the architecture and the
Ayurveda focus in the wellness area, the
food concept of the certified organic hotel
is further evidence of the harmony between
people and nature, with emphasis on the
exclusive use of organic produce from the
surrounding area, total avoidance of artificial
flavours and refined sugar, and ingenious,
simple preparation. The result is soul food of
the highest order and we treat our bodies to
the best that nature has to offer, no matter
whether we spend the whole day on the ex-
tensive network of pistes and carving it up
in the Skicircus snow park – it’s right on the
doorstep, by the way – or prefer to take it
easy with a winter hike and an hour of yoga
at the hotel. The Alpin Juwel offers a laid-
back atmosphere that makes us feel totally
relaxed. And it certainly has us wanting to
come back again if it means we can har-

100 YEARS OF THE

The production of Jedermann was staged in
the famous Cathedral Square in Salzburg
for the first time in 1920. The play about the
death of a rich man was directed by Max
Reinhardt who, along with the play’s author
Hugo von Hofmannsthal, was a co-founder
of the Salzburg Festival. The character of
Jedermann was played by the most famous
actor of the time in the German-speaking
world, Alexander Moissi, while Jedermann’s
lover Buhlschaft was played by Johanna
Terwin, Moissi’s wife in real life. Over the last
PAYING HOMAGE TO THE ARTS
100 years, there have only been a handful
of occasions when Jedermann has not been
performed at the Salzburg Festival. From the
very beginning, the event has included ope-
ratic productions and concerts, and this pro-
gramme has expanded every year since. The
main highlight is definitely still the traditional
rendering of Jedermann, which was based
on several medieval mystery plays. To see it
enacted on the steps in front of the cathedral,
or in the festival hall during bad weather, ne-
ver fails to be an unforgettable experience.

Much older than the Salzburg Festival is a
stone building in a charming little alleyway
called Goldgasse. It is 700 years old and
now home to one of the city’s most stunning
and individual hotels: the Goldgasse,
a boutique hotel with just 16 rooms that
have all been designed around the theme of
the Salzburg Festival. They pay homage to
this enormous production, this event that
turns the entire city into a stage – a notion
that even director Max Reinholdt wished
to express from the outset. The rooms in
the Goldgasse are a stage in themselves for
modern features and contemporary design
objects. And just so you know – this small-but-
perfect retreat doesn’t just provide cultural
inspiration, it also offers exceptional cuisine.

Italian influence in Salzburg began in the 16th century,
when Venetian architect Vincenzo Scamozzi was comissio-
ned 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 with
an innovative concept.
Located in one of Salzburg’s top locations, the hotel is
dominated by the colour blue: blue as the lagoon and the
heaven. Thanks to this colour scheme an unique atmosphe-
re and style have been created that convey an incompara-
ble lifestyle experience. In 56 exclusive rooms, that show
exceptional attention to detail, new standards have been
set. These can also be found at the hotel’s rooftop location
on the 7th
floor - with an outstanding view of the city.

Guests from across the globe with an affinity
for art are sure to be found at the Stein
boutique hotel, situated right on the Salzach
river in the old town. The hotel underwent an
extensive makeover in 2018 and has since
followed the concept of “Salzburg meets Ve-
nice”, evidence of which includes the chan-
deliers and other pieces by Venetian glass
manufacturers Barovier & Toso, a company
SALZBURG MEETS VENICE
that is also owned by the hotel proprietor.
Then there are the fabrics by Rubelli, which
certainly wouldn’t look out of place in a
Venetian palace. Even from outside, directly
in front of the hotel, you will be mesmerised
by a work of art by Austrian artist Brigitte
Kowanz, who in 2016 represented Austria at
the Venice Biennale and also showcased her
works there in 2017.

Her pieces lead you into the interior and
create a stylistic connection between the in-
side and the outside. The colour blue domi-
nates the décor, representing both the colour
of the sky and that of the lagoon in Venice.
When you stroll back from Cathedral Square,
be it to the Goldgasse or the Stein, you can
be sure that you are in the perfect place to
recharge your batteries after an intoxicating
performance and to let the experience of the
epic productions last a little longer.

Nordic minimalism in the best spot
dasMAX is a stylish lifestylehotel in the perfect spot in
Seefeld in Tyrol. Located directly at the railway station
and only a few minutes’ walk from the centre, the ski area
and cross-country skiing trails are within easy reach. The
bright rooms radiate Nordic elegance and are furnished
in a reduced way with Bo-Concept design classics. Every
detail and all the materials used are of the highest quality
and the guests notice that quite quickly. The hotel delibe-
rately avoids superfluous „Nice-to haves“ and pompous
chic. Contemporary luxury is welcome – but only where it
makes sense.
Plenty of possibilities without any obligations. That is how
the hosts of dasMAX summarize their philosophy. After an
active day you can relax in the wellness area with Finnish
sauna and spa. Be sure to enjoy the sensational view of the
Seefeld mountains from the rooftop terrace. In the Honesty
Bar you shouldn‘t miss the great selection of cocktails, in
the dasMAX Bistro you can enjoy your breakfast, an exten-
sive brunch or afternoon snacks.

Today’s schedule includes hiking the three
lakes. But before that, breakfast – I don’t
recommend climbing mountains on an
empty stomach. I opt for the Max & Jack,
warm porridge with banana, cinnamon and
maple syrup, plus an espresso and herbal
tea, but I also can’t resist tucking into the
other delights from the breakfast buffet. My
rucksack for the trip is already packed and
after a relaxed breakfast in the hotel bistro –
which, by the way, boasts incredible design
and furnishings from BoConcept – it’s time
to head off. The starting point for this hike is
the championship indoor tennis hall in See-
feld (I make a mental note not to risk a game
of tennis during this holiday), from which the
CITIUS, ALTIUS, FORTIUS
path leads across the Moserer Mahder mea-
dows and slightly uphill towards Mosern.
Embracing the spirit of the Olympic motto
“faster, higher, stronger” (no, it’s not “it’s the
taking part that counts”), there are plenty
of other sporting activities on offer in the
Seefeld Olympic region besides long hikes.
Depending on your level of enthusiasm
and ability, you can choose from mountain
bike tours, stand up paddleboarding on the
Wildsee, climbing, rafting and paragliding, as
well as the less strenuous carriage rides and
walking with alpacas. The benefits of a place
like Seefeld are clear for all to see in the
sheer number of options available.
Walking out of dasMAX, you’ll find your-
self right in the pedestrian zone with its
many restaurants, cafes and bars, so you’ll
be spoilt for choice for dinner and drinks.
Traditional and authentic Italian cuisine
can be enjoyed at the brand new restaurant
“La Trattoria“, which fortunately is only a
short walk away from dasMAX. High-quality
purchases are a given in the many bou-
tiques and shops in Seefeld, and anyone in
the mood for a game of chance can put on
their poker face and spend the evening at
the elegant casino. But let’s get back to my
hike. After circling the Moserersee, the path
follows the Pirschsteig trail in the direction of
the Lottensee and continues until you finally
reach the Wildmoossee and the Wildmoos-
alm. There you can say hello to the cows and
stop for a bite to eat at one of the rustic huts.
After a hike, there’s nothing better than sit-
ting comfortably and squinting into the sun.

Chilling on the rooftop
So back at dasMAX, the quickest way to get
to the rooftop wellness area is via the lift
– then you can rest your weary legs in the
sauna. In the spa, I chill out on a lounger
and while away the time. The rooftop affords
visitors a unique 360-degree view of the
dasMAX mountain landscape that surrounds
Seefeld, and there’s no doubt that it’ll take
your breath away. The Nordic-style rooms
are extremely appealing and feature little
added conveniences like a day bed, a kettle
and an espresso machine as standard. With
contemporary individuality and good deals,
dasMAX demonstrates that it’s possible to
enjoy a smart and urban holiday even in the
mountains.

  • 2. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE EXCLUSIVE SPECI- MENS AMONG HOTELS. WE CALL THEM LIFESTYLE HOTELS. THEY ARE NOT THE EASILY REPLACEABLE PRODUCTS OF THE TOU- RISTIC MARKET RESEARCH. THE SOUL OF THE PRO- PRIETORS IS ALIVE IN LIFESTYLEHOTELS, AND IN MANY CASES, THE PRO- PRIETORS MANAGE THEM PERSONALLY AS WELL AND THEY HAVE A LOT TO TELL.

You have landed in a space-time vacuum in which everything before and everything after does not exist. It is the moment in which you have landed in the „now“ and experience the present very consciously. This is what happens when you have found a place that is the only right place at that specific time. This described phenomenon usually comes over us when we are traveling. When we find ourselves in a place where we see our own personality reflected. In the 17th edition of „The Book“ we show you such places. They are hotels that revolve around good ideas, outstanding experiences, attentive staff and above all people, who are passionate about what they do. They create a gateway to adventure, relaxation, new experiences and to ourselves. The next journey is only a few pages away. Let the feeling wash over you that comes from discovering a place that you know you must see with your own eyes. There are many places to which one feels attracted, although they could not be more different. What unites them? You can find them in the 400 pages of this book and they are the reason why we cannot stop traveling. Thomas Holzleithner & Hardy Egger Editors WHY WE CANNOT STOP TRAVELING

Together with the designer Gregor Wöckel and the company Unykat, a sustainable book-affine design was realised. As „Zweimalschön“, 20 Viennese ho- tel rooms on the mountain experience a resurrection. The ergonomic plug-and-play reading bed can be moved freely in the room and is optimised for the reading voice with an acoustic device. The personal book bar is individually stocked with new publications and can be taken any- where from the room. Fancy even more books? Browse the vertically laid out library that spans four floors.

In the roof suites, guests float in reading nests above the valley and enjoy optimal reading conditions in any weather. A paradise for reading enthusiasts and people who long for peace and relaxation. The breathtaking view over Lake Hallstatt and the Dachstein Glacier makes a stay at the Lesehotel a pleasure in any case. Finding yourself The Lesehotel in the Salzkammergut has set itself the task of helping guests find themselves in peace and quiet. The silence on the mountain, the darkness at night, which makes it possible to see the starry splendour of the Milky Way, are intensified by the sensitive design. The guests are sovereign and decide situationally: starting with the position of the plug&play reading bed in the room, the selection of books in the room and the freely chosen level of service. At the Lesehotel, guests have absolute freedom to choose how they would like to organise their stay. Breakfast is available all day, even in the room. In the guest kitchen, guests can cook together or book a chef to cook with them - surrounded by more cookery books than the guests can read! Or you can let yourself be pampered all around - just as it feels good at the moment. The house and garden belong to the guests as if they were visiting friends. BEST ROOM In the Suhrkamp Suite you can enjoy a breathtaking pano- ramic view of Lake Hallstatt and the Dachstein Glacier. Float at the highest point of the house and enjoy the exclusive balcony across the entire width of the room. Your stay will be a unique pleasure thanks to the new publications of the Suhrkamp publishing house! Thanks to the ergonomically shaped backrest of the Plug&Play reading bed, you can let yourself be read to for hours and enjoy your breakfast, snacks and excellent wine in your suite.

The silence up on the mountain below the summit is exactly what guests of the Lesehotel crave on a short holiday for rest and relaxation. The increasing complexity of the network society makes people experience a deep need for relaxation and inner peace. It is precisely this longing that the Lesehotel meets as a cross-industry innovation project when it connects publishers with readers. 1 5 Reading enthusiasts look forward to the vertical library - over four floors, the central staircase circles a library of classics, bestsel- lers and the books that have been displaced by the novelties in the publishing rooms. Guests also enjoy the new publications that are always waiting to be discovered in the house in more than ample selection. „20 selected publishers inspire and delight readers in 20 rooms. This way, guests can immerse themselves in a different world with every visit.“ The Lesehotel offers the ideal combination of reading with mountain biking, climbing, hiking, cross-country skiing or snowshoeing or - watch out for the highlight: reading and cooking! The Reading Hotel not only offers a dining room full of cookbooks, it also allows guests to recreate what they have just read together with friends or a dedicated cooking coach! Of course, the hotel does the dishes and guests enjoy selec- ted wines from Austrian vintners. Pure relaxation The relaxing effect of reading has been scienti- fically proven. With the Plug&Play reading and reading aloud bed, the Lesehotel offers just the right setting for this. Thanks to the ergonomic backrest and the acoustic device optimised for the human voice, you can let yourself be read to for hours while enjoying the breathtaking view. You can indulge in daydreams or simply read. In any case, at an altitude of just over a thousand metres, you will find exactly what you have been looking for: Pure relaxation! Dr. Silke Seemann, economist and also operator of the Hallstatt Hideaway (see page 53), researches social change and asks quite pragmatically about the effect on tourism to keep surprising her guests with new products: „People need places of retreat that simulta- neously take them out of everyday life and lead them into inner peace. The Lesehotel will be a place of retreat, encounter and exchange. In any case, a place of inspiration.“ Here and now Hotels are places that celebrate the tempo- rary! This is precisely why they are so well suited for engaging in intensities that one does not dare to experience in everyday life. The Lesehotel celebrates this momentum and at the same time offers the framework to recover physically to the maximum without sacrificing the basic creative tension. „We‘ve all had the experience of how much an exciting book can take us away from our hectic everyday lives and relax us so wonderfully!“ The Lesehotel is a place of retreat where one can meet and rediscover oneself. We often lose ourselves in the hectic demands of rest- less everyday life. At the same time, however, we long for exchange, resonance and encoun- ter. As well the Lesehotel offers the opportu- nity to exchange ideas with other guests about what they have read and to inspire each other. „The book bar is equipped with books, reading glasses, water bottle, writing utensils, note- book and reading light individually for each guest. It can be carried around the house, as a very private side table. It serves as an active means of communication: if a book is placed on the reading light at arm‘s length, it is an invitation: I would like to talk about this book! Anyone who feels like it, can take the book, read it and then offer to talk. If the book holder is in a low position, it means: I want to read in peace.“ Read and enjoy The Berghof, which dates back to the 1970s, has been restored to its former glory. A consci- ous decision was made not to build a new buil- ding. Here, life can be reflected and dreams can be made! Both the silence of the forest and the darkness of the night with the radiance of the stars make it easy to detach oneself from everyday life and turn to that which is waiting to be discovered as potential in everyone.

BEAT YOU TO IT! That’s what you’ll be shouting with glee when you’re able to glide down freshly prepa- red pistes first thing in the morning, then in the afternoon swing right into the hotel bar. These and all of our other winter wishes were granted at the Gradonna Mountain Resort in the sun-drenched town of Kals am Groß- glockner. After all, when we’re on holiday we want everything to be straightforward, espe- cially in winter when our ski equipment is bul- ky and our clothes fill more than one suitcase. The best bit is that we’re staying right on the slope: no shuttle buses, no trudging through the snow – simply clip in to your bindings and enjoy the gentle crunch of the freshly prepa- red snow on the piste. One of these pistes, the valley run towards Kals, goes straight through the Gradonna Mountain Resort past the hotel and its chalets. GRADONNA MOUNTAIN RESORT

ALL IN ONE PLACE Here we’re just a step away from the largest ski area in East Tyrol and will be able to make the most of the 15 cable cars and lifts at up to 2,426 metres above sea level. A total of 42 kilometres of pistes are just waiting to be discovered, and no matter whether you’re a pro or a newbie, a snowboarder or a free- rider, there is guaranteed to be a slope for everyone. And to top it all off, snow is a given here until spring. We found everything straightforward at the superior four-star resort, and not just because of the direct access to the pistes and the fact you can ski in, ski out. We got the equipment for our sporting adventure right here at the hotel, for both adults and children, and were even able to book the little ones into ski school at the same time. And because the youngsters just couldn’t wait to get started, we had a go on the magic carpet behind the hotel, where the professionals of the future captivated us as they took their first unsteady turns out on the snow with huge grins on their faces. Tobog- ganing, cross-country skiing, ski tours, winter hiking: at the Gradonna Mountain Resort there is so much on offer. If the kids don’t want to go out with you, leave them to let off steam at the kids club: when we pick them up they tell us all about their trips to the enchanted forest, the action-packed adventures in nature and all the new friends they’ve made in the play area. After such a diverse programme of activities, it’s time for the more peaceful part of our holi- day. We definitely still want to have a go at the family yoga, swim a couple of laps of the pool and try out the slide in the family area. Before dinner, and after so much physical exertion, we schedule in a relaxing massage, which includes access to the sauna after- wards. That’s how couples and families alike can achieve a balance between adventure and relaxation at the Gradonna – it’s really quite straightforward.

The luxury huts have been constructed in an organic way using lots of wood and will ensure a total sense of well-being from the minute you arrive to the minute you leave.

It makes for a fortifying start to the day. No matter whether you then venture out onto the 270 kilometres of ski runs in the Skicircus Saal- bach Hinterglemm resort (remember: ski in, ski out) or would prefer a romantic sleigh ride, as long as the sun is shining, no one can resist the snowy winter wonderland that’s right on your doorstep. The crunch of your shoes gently sinking into the snow, the warmth of the sun on your face, the choice between adventures on the slopes and the tranquillity of nature… RUSTIC LUXURY A holiday in a hut evokes images of a rustic atmosphere – a four-star hotel, on the other hand, is all about luxury.

  • 58. A LPIN JU WEL | BACK TO N AT URE 1 1 3 1 1 3 The fact that nature plays a vital role at the Alpin Juwel, which is set within the famous Saalbach Hinterglemm ski resort, is obvious from the very first glance, as the timber faca- de of the superior four-star hotel draws you in, with the beautiful mountains of the Pinzgauer Grasberge gathered around behind it. Here we enjoy the pure mountain air and really take a moment to feel it before we head into the hotel – that special atmosphere that evokes an instant holiday feeling as soon as you arrive. Inside, we encounter natural mate- rials at every turn, and it soon becomes clear that this is a hotel that places its entire focus on people and on nature. When cleaning, the Alpin Juwel doesn’t resort to the usual POSITIVE VIBES chemical cleaners, but instead chooses to use 180-degree steam, which is just as reliable in dealing with bacteria and viruses. Special flow regulators economise the energising spring water, while essential oils enrich the air with positive vibrations. At night, we tuck ourselves into a sophisticated sleeping system from SAMINA, which doesn’t just gently send us off to the land of nod, it also improves our chi and boosts our immune system. Because of this, we’re ready to enjoy every day of our holiday to the max: from start to finish with regional organic delicacies for breakfast, mind-blo- wing mountain panoramas during leisurely walks and authentic Ayurvedic massages from Sri Lankan therapist Manjula. 1 1 2 L IFE S T Y LEHOTEL S | THE BOOK 17 TH EDI T ION BACK TO NATURE The attribute of being “virus-free” is of particular importance in the current climate, but it has always been the case at the Alpin Juwel Hotel, and it continues to be so now. The fact that chemicals are not required to achieve this has been proven by the Salzburg hotel, whose sustainable concept applies to all areas, from the rooms to the restaurant and the spa.

Alongside the architecture and the Ayurveda focus in the wellness area, the food concept of the certified organic hotel is further evidence of the harmony between people and nature, with emphasis on the exclusive use of organic produce from the surrounding area, total avoidance of artificial flavours and refined sugar, and ingenious, simple preparation. The result is soul food of the highest order and we treat our bodies to the best that nature has to offer, no matter whether we spend the whole day on the ex- tensive network of pistes and carving it up in the Skicircus snow park – it’s right on the doorstep, by the way – or prefer to take it easy with a winter hike and an hour of yoga at the hotel. The Alpin Juwel offers a laid- back atmosphere that makes us feel totally relaxed. And it certainly has us wanting to come back again if it means we can har- monise body and soul away from our hectic day-to-day lives.

The play about the death of a rich man was directed by Max Reinhardt who, along with the play’s author Hugo von Hofmannsthal, was a co-founder of the Salzburg Festival. The character of Jedermann was played by the most famous actor of the time in the German-speaking world, Alexander Moissi, while Jedermann’s lover Buhlschaft was played by Johanna Terwin, Moissi’s wife in real life. Over the last PAYING HOMAGE TO THE ARTS 100 years, there have only been a handful of occasions when Jedermann has not been performed at the Salzburg Festival. From the very beginning, the event has included ope- ratic productions and concerts, and this pro- gramme has expanded every year since. The main highlight is definitely still the traditional rendering of Jedermann, which was based on several medieval mystery plays. To see it enacted on the steps in front of the cathedral, or in the festival hall during bad weather, ne- ver fails to be an unforgettable experience.

The rooms in the Goldgasse are a stage in themselves for modern features and contemporary design objects. And just so you know – this small-but- perfect retreat doesn’t just provide cultural inspiration, it also offers exceptional cuisine.

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 with an innovative concept. Located in one of Salzburg’s top locations, the hotel is dominated by the colour blue: blue as the lagoon and the heaven. Thanks to this colour scheme an unique atmosphe- re and style have been created that convey an incompara- ble lifestyle experience. In 56 exclusive rooms, that show exceptional attention to detail, new standards have been set.

Then there are the fabrics by Rubelli, which certainly wouldn’t look out of place in a Venetian palace.

But before that, breakfast – I don’t recommend climbing mountains on an empty stomach. I opt for the Max & Jack, warm porridge with banana, cinnamon and maple syrup, plus an espresso and herbal tea, but I also can’t resist tucking into the other delights from the breakfast buffet. My rucksack for the trip is already packed and after a relaxed breakfast in the hotel bistro – which, by the way, boasts incredible design and furnishings from BoConcept – it’s time to head off. The starting point for this hike is the championship indoor tennis hall in See- feld (I make a mental note not to risk a game of tennis during this holiday), from which the CITIUS, ALTIUS, FORTIUS path leads across the Moserer Mahder mea- dows and slightly uphill towards Mosern. Embracing the spirit of the Olympic motto “faster, higher, stronger” (no, it’s not “it’s the taking part that counts”), there are plenty of other sporting activities on offer in the Seefeld Olympic region besides long hikes. Depending on your level of enthusiasm and ability, you can choose from mountain bike tours, stand up paddleboarding on the Wildsee, climbing, rafting and paragliding, as well as the less strenuous carriage rides and walking with alpacas. The benefits of a place like Seefeld are clear for all to see in the sheer number of options available. Walking out of dasMAX, you’ll find your- self right in the pedestrian zone with its many restaurants, cafes and bars, so you’ll be spoilt for choice for dinner and drinks. Traditional and authentic Italian cuisine can be enjoyed at the brand new restaurant “La Trattoria“, which fortunately is only a short walk away from dasMAX. High-quality purchases are a given in the many bou- tiques and shops in Seefeld, and anyone in the mood for a game of chance can put on their poker face and spend the evening at the elegant casino. But let’s get back to my hike. After circling the Moserersee, the path follows the Pirschsteig trail in the direction of the Lottensee and continues until you finally reach the Wildmoossee and the Wildmoos- alm. There you can say hello to the cows and stop for a bite to eat at one of the rustic huts. After a hike, there’s nothing better than sit- ting comfortably and squinting into the sun.

The rooftop affords visitors a unique 360-degree view of the dasMAX mountain landscape that surrounds Seefeld, and there’s no doubt that it’ll take your breath away. The Nordic-style rooms are extremely appealing and feature little added conveniences like a day bed, a kettle and an espresso machine as standard. With contemporary individuality and good deals, dasMAX demonstrates that it’s possible to enjoy a smart and urban holiday even in the mountains.
