@davidkijlstra Everyone is trying to build a luxury farm hotel, but Stanglwirt is playing a completely different game.
Here are some additional facts about the hotel:
The Family Economics You don’t win ”World’s Best Family Hotel” at the Boutique Hotel Awards by offering a sad kids’ club. They built the world’s first dedicated Children’s Farm. They added a massive Children’s Waterworld featuring a 120-meter water slide and a movie projection area. They keep the kids completely occupied so the parents can actually relax and spend money.
The Wellness Infrastructure They operate a 12,000-square-meter wellness area. This isn’t a generic basement spa. It includes a massive saltwater pool, a 25-meter competition-standard swimming pool, and a rock pool fed entirely by their own private mountain spring from the Wilder Kaiser.
The Ultimate Networking Event If you want to understand how they capture the CEO market, look at January. They host the legendary Weisswurstparty during the Hahnenkamm Ski Race in Kitzbühel. With up to 2,500 guests, including Arnold Schwarzenegger, it is the most powerful winter networking event in the region. This is how you lock in the high-net-worth demographic for life. #hotels #luxury

This 400 year old farm hotel is one of the craziest ones you'll ever see. This is the Austrian hotel Stannenwird, which started as a simple farmers tavern, but in the nineteen eighties tier owner did something radical. While the rest of the industry was almost only using synthetic materials, owner Baltazar decided to do remove anything non natural. He built new wings only using arola pines harvested during specific moon cycles. There are no chemicals, no glues, and no nails found in the bedrooms because the goal is to create a place that lowers your heart rate naturally when you rank in. Naturally when you walk in. What I love is that it made the farm tier centerpiece of the hotel. In the main restaurant, you eat homegrown organic food while looking through a massive glass wall at the cows having their meal next to you. And the size of the hotel is truly mind blowing. They have a 12,000 square meter wellness, Europe's largest saltwater aquarium, and every wellness treatment possible. And that's not enough because they also have a 14 court world class tennis academy, a skiing school, a gym made for professional athletes, and a private Lipschanger tier farm with an indoor riding arena. And the experience continues outside with fly fishing yes even hunting on their own grounds. Yes, despite the skill, there's no service pretension. The staff walks around in Drindles in Lederhosen. And this is why the hotel is such a well known resting spot for CEOs, high performing executives, and celebrities such as Arnold Schwarzenegger. This is truly one of Austria's finest hotels. Have you been there? Please let me know in the comments what you thought about it.
