Gohlke is personally familiar with over 80 ships and knows much more than the catalogues reveal. “It is important to know the ship and its personality, not to just memorise documents.

World’s Finest: Seamless Luxury in the Swiss Alps The InterContinental brand has long been synonymous with luxury. The InterContinental Davos, even among this elite standard, manages to mark itself as a different beast entirely: a statement of avant-garde architecture combined with seamless elegance. In January, LUXlife named InterContinental Davos the ‘Most Outstanding Swiss Mountain Retreat of 2019’ in our annual and ongoing Global Luxury Hotel and Spa Awards programme. We spoke to InterContinental’s Chris Graf to find out more. Whilst it is true that luxury can be found in the simplest of things, it can also be found in the most extravagant. Indeed, InterContinental Davos impresses through its dedication to going above and beyond, exceeding already sky-high expectations through flawless customer service and exquisite surroundings. Of course, the stunning backdrop of the Swiss Alps certainly helps in creating a stunning first impression, even before the unique golden-domed roof of the hotel comes into view. But then, exceeding expectations has always been integral to the InterContinental brand, as Chris explains: “the InterContinental Davos provides excellent hotel services at all levels. Our guests are well travelled, experienced customers with high expectations for their business or vacation stay. As such, we employ excellent staff from diverse backgrounds in all areas of the hotel to ensure that every guest has his or her needs taken care of. “There is extensive training for all new employees as well as continuous training for long-time staff. We train everyone in the IHG standards of excellence as well as different cultures in order to accommodate every guest from around the world. Ultimately, we pride ourselves in the service we provide around the clock on a daily basis.” This concept is utterly integral to InterContinental, fuelling their remarkable reputation in the challenging and demanding luxury hospitality industry. It is also an industry which is constantly in flux – after all, like consumer behaviour on the greater business landscape, guest expectations change
all of the time. Chris takes a moment to talk specifically on the challenges and trends of the luxury industry. “The tourism industry is an incredibly dynamic field with constant changes, both affecting the guest segment and the needs of said guests. As an IHG hotel, we are well adapted through the aforementioned training of our staff as well as marketing campaigns that target developing and thriving markets.” One of the most established changes in the tourism industry is the idea of globalism – tourism is, by all regards, a global industry, and its only becoming more so with each passing year. People are finding the time and the resources to travel more frequently, to places that are much further afield, as Chris discusses in more detail. “At the moment we are looking at a global market rather than a more geographically local market within our own country and neighbouring countries. However, as you would expect from an InterContinental Hotel, we do follow our own path as we are one of the most internationally oriented hotels in Switzerland and ahead of most other properties concerning the diversity of our guests.” The topic of conversation soon turns to the future, and to how InterContinental Davos is planning to compete with an ever-competitive luxury market. “With the increased number of tourists traveling, the competition increases as well. Firstly, it was common that a guest would return to the same hotel for many years, whereas these days the average client prefers staying in various hotels. Secondly, as a mountain resort we are not only competing against other resorts in the Alps, we are actively competing against beach resorts in the Mediterranean and elsewhere, as flight connection are more frequently available from most airports. In his closing comments, Chris returns to emphasise InterContinental’s key advantage over the competition – its renowned service. “There’s little a single hotel can do to fight these tendencies; however, we can maintain our service to an exceptionally high standard, which will, in turn, maintain InterContinental Davos’ reputation as a must-visit property.”

Experience the Unforgettable at Jamala Wildlife Lodge Nestled in the grounds of one of Australia’s most interactive zoos, the National Zoo and Aquarium in Canberra, Jamala Wildlife Lodge is something that has to be experienced to be fully appreciated. Partnering undeniable luxury with the opportunity to truly get up-close to some of the world’s most majestic and powerful creatures, the lodge is something special indeed. Today, Jamala is often considered one of the country’s most essential of luxury experiences. Canberra’s National Zoo and Aquarium (NZA) has, over its twenty-year history, always endeavoured to offer visitors unique and wonderful ways to interact with their residents. Today, it is one of the largest privatelyowned zoos, and hosts the largest inland saltwater tank in Australia. Moreover, innovation and creativity has always been at the heart of the zoo, alongside a need for constant improvement, offering new and better experiences for guests to indulge in and enjoy. One of the major additions to the NZA was Jamala Wildlife Lodge in 2014, which boasts eighteen luxurious African-lodge inspired rooms set across three different accommodation precincts: Giraffe Treehouses, Jungle Bungalows and uShaka Lodge. Over the last five years, the lodge has been awarded a plethora of accolades, including several from the Australian Hotels Association and recognition from numerous global industry publications. There can be little doubt then that Jamala Lodge is something special indeed. Inspired in no small part by African iconography, Jamala’s interiors are transformative, inviting guests to experience the wonders of the Serengeti in Australia. It’s all animal print and intricate wooden carvings, partnered with high-vaulted ceilings and clean, modern interior design.
Whilst the interiors help sell the experience, there can be no denying that the zoo’s more permanent residents are the stars of the show. During their stay, guests can come face to face with rhinos, lions, tigers, sun bears, monkeys and meerkats – among others – gifting an unprecedented opportunity to connect with and learn about these incredible creatures in a way that few ever can. But, Jamala’s luxury trappings don’t end there. For the gourmets, fine dining offerings complete the experience. With sunset canapés and drinks, an African-styled five course dinner with fellow guests and a freshly prepared breakfast, guests can rest assured that Jamala aims to impress, earning its reputation for providing a ‘once in a lifetime experience’. By all considerations, the cornerstone of Jamala Wildlife Lodge is uShaka Lodge, with its Lemur Rooms, Meerkat Rooms and a huge lounge area complete with a 200,000-litre shark tank. The six Giraffe Treehouse suites allow guests to mingle with one of the zoo’s most popular residents, Hummer the Giraffe. Each of the treehouses boasts panoramic views of the Molonglo River, and Jamala’s signature style of spacious, seamless luxury. Last but not least are the Jungle Bungalows. Each of these resplendent suites sit adjacent to a large animal enclosure, with areas allocated for special up-close interactions, separated only by a sheet of glass. If you’ve ever wanted to enjoy a glass of wine while sitting mere feet from a Cheetah, the Jungle Bungalows are your best bet. All in all, there can be no doubt that Jamala Wildlife Lodge offers one of the best luxury experiences in Australia, offering the tantalising thrill of the safari with best in class, five-star surroundings. Whether you are an animal lover, or just a lover of luxury, Jamala offers a truly remarkable accommodation experience.
