Posthotel Achenkirch

W: www.posthotel.at E: info@posthotel.at

Jens Bernitzky

General Manager

What is your property’s current biggest challenge & how do you manage this challenge in a highly competitive industry?

Lack of employees (which is also seen in other branches). Posthotel Achenkirch pays already for many years attention to a successful employer branding: e.g. our new “Refugium” offers more than 70 appartments for our staff member which all have a “5-star standard” –our employees should benefit from the same room standard as our guests. In addition to this, we have a bunch of extra benefits such as annual holiday trips together with our staff, free meals, rental cars and motorbikes and many more. We are also awarded as one of the best Employer in Tyrol, which gives us a good reputation to find new crew members.

Digitalisation: it will be essential for us to try to digitalize as many processes as possible in order to make the work easier for the employes, but it is important not to cut down on personalized service, which is an asset for any luxury hotel. Our latest new, digital features

are a ChatBot on our website, a “robot” which helps our waiters in the restaurant to bring dirty plates and cutlery into our stewarding and a digital magazine kiosk, which offers almost 800 complimentary, digitalized newspapers and magazines. This will also help us to reduce paperwaste.

Sustainability: More and more Guests choose their Hotel-/Resort under Sustainability/”Eco friendly” aspects. To run-/operate a Hotel “eco friendly” it requires not only a change of the mind set, but in general also a major investment in new, eco-/climate friendly technologies and change of routines and purchase strategies.

Posthotel Achenkirch is not only a “carbon neutral” Resort, we pay a lot of attention to reduce waste and energy. We start already “inhouse” with separating all kind of waste into different categories (metal, plastic, organic, glas etc.) and try to buy most of our Groceries from local supplier to reduce the Carbon Foodprint of the delivery chain. In addition

“Posthotel Achenkirch is not only a “carbon neutral” Resort, we pay a lot of attention to reduce waste and energy. “

to this, we even set-up a “Sustanability Committee”, which consists of staff members of every department, which meets regularly and discuss new Ideas and ways to improve our Sustainability.

What makes the hotel really special?

The Posthotel Achenkirch was a Pioneer in the Development of the SPA/Wellness Resorts, we know now: Karl Reiter senior was the first Hotellier in Austria which created a Hideaway with a wide variety of different pools, Saunas, Beautyparlor and Massagecenter as well as a corresponding fitness-/Sport Programm. His Concept was used as a blue print by other Hoteliers in Austria-/Germany and Switzerland.

Truly unique is our Chinese Shaolin Monk – he offers either Classes in Martial Arts as well as Classes in Qi-Gong and introduces Guest the ZEN Philosophie to strengthen Mental Health.

In General: the Posthotel Achenkirch is focussed on offering a Hollistic Concept for Body, Mind & Soul with a mixture of Lecture Classes with wellknown Experts on this field as well as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Yoga, Pilates and similar kind of Retreats.

Another rather unique experience are our Lippizaner Horses – Posthotel Achenkirch is part of Europes largest Lippzianer Breed. Our Guests can either learn riding on those

famous horses, experienced Horse Lovers can improve their riding skills, or Guest can even bring their own horses as we offer a couple of Guest Horse Boxes and our trained staff is taking care of them.

Wine lovers will find their favorite in our historic Wine Celler, stocked with over 40.000 Bottles with some of the Worlds best Wines available.

There´re also just a few other Hotels in the DACH Region that offers a larger Spa-/ Wellness Area than you find at the Posthotel Achenkirch with it´s more than 7000m².

How do you prepare now to remain relevant and in-demand in future?

To ensure that our guests will have an unforgettable stay with us even in the future, we put a lot of efforts of course in daily Trainings, define & improve standards and keep the guest file up to date, so we know all preferences of the guest in terms of their favorite food, restaurant table, wine, room, pillows, linen and many more. In order to improve this, we will install a new hotel management software and CRM System within the next month.

As a family owned hotel with an over 100 year long tradtion, it is also very important for us, to keep the “Family Spirit” as we see our guests and employees as a big family. We see the trend in a sort of “Hollistic Holiday”, especially among the younger Generation (30+). At the Posthotel Achenkirch we already offer a wide variety for guests that

are not only looking for a “normal Wellness Vacation”, such as our Classes with our Shaolin Monk, Self-Finding Retreats, we invite famous Lectors on those fields and work with some of the best Yoga, Mediation, Pilates, TCM, QiGong Coaches of together.

In terms of marketing, we pay more and more focus on using online Technologies to improve our Distribution.

How do you expect the association with Haute Grandeur will benefit your brand in the medium/long run?

Haute Grandeur is a highly reputable cooperation in which only the best Hotels-/ Resorts are gathered. We see a great benefit in the international marketing of the entire Haute Grandeur Team, which gives us a good opportunity to become visible in many of the most important travel markets in the World.

Grub & Vine

Matt Manning

What is your restaurant’s current biggest challenge & how do you manage this challenge in a highly competitive industry?

Something that we strive for is consistency: retaining our high standard of service in everything we do; from the food, to the service, ambience, and even the marketing. We want our guests to know that when they visit us, they will always have a great experience, and that takes constant work, dedication and commitment from everyone on the team.

Another industry-wide challenge is talent. There is a shortage of experienced and skilled senior people, such as chefs and managers. It’s something we need to address as an industry; nurturing and developing a pool of talent from within.

What makes the restaurant really special?

I think the fact that we live and breathe the three things that make for a fantastic experience; great food, fantastic wine, and a vibey ambience. Our food is unpretentious and tasty - we don’t go for trends or serve fiddly food you need to eat with a set of tweezers. Sure, there’s a time and place for that - but it’s not with us. Great wine - this is part of our ethos throughout the business - we understand that great food must meet its equal in wine, and we strive to deliver a fantastic range of local and international wines. We also offer unique wine pairing options: Local Legends - the best from our legendary local producers; International Icons - a selection of premium imports for those who are keen to experience what the world has to offer; and SA vs the World, a side-byside local and international comparison that aims to demonstrate how our wines stack up against the rest of the world.

Chef Patron and Owner of Grub & Vine

“Our food is unpretentious and tasty - we don’t go for trends or serve fiddly food...”

How do you prepare now to remain relevant and in-demand in future?

Again this goes back to consistency. We don’t want to be a passing fad; we want Grub & Vine to someday become a wellloved Cape Town institution, of the likes of Aubergine, and this is only possible with consistency.

We also like to keep things fresh; our menu and wine list change frequently, and we regularly introduce new concepts such as our Meet the Makers dinner series.

How do you expect the association with Haute Grandeur will benefit your brand in the medium/long run?

Partnering with credible industry bodies helps to elevate our brand’s profile, create awareness and establish trust in our offering.
