Health, Safety & Comfort

Following the complete refurbishment in 2015 and the further renovation in 2023 and 2024, we combine stylish comfort with consistent safety standards. During both phases, we ensured that all current health and safety regulations were fully complied with and implemented to the latest technical standards.

We are also available by telephone 24 hours a day – for our guests, our partners and in case of emergency.

Safety is part of our responsibility as hosts – professionally organised, regularly inspected and implemented in full compliance with legal requirements.
