Summer is coming

How was your last summer? Mine was wonderful and unforgettable.

As you can see in my previous blog entries from the last summer, I have made a Road-Trip through the Southest of Italy: Naples, Amalfi, Calabria, Sicily, Basilicata, Apulia and back via the Marches - simply breath-taking. This was a trip of a lifetime for me!

The upcoming summer I will go to Southern France, more precisely to the Provence and to Côte d'Azur of course. A to-do-list is already planned but we will see afterwards if my schedule keeps what it promises.

Today I wanted to let you know that I updated the list of the Hotels & Resorts where I stayed and you can now see more hotel reviews on this blog by clicking here. I have added some interesting and luxurious hotels and places, which might be of interest to you.

In addition I have also published a new website of my company with lots of luxury hotels and destinations. I would be delighted to receive your enquiry soon!

Best regards and a wonderful week!

The best Sites to become an Insider

If you ever wondered how it is possible to become a high tier status at a hotel or airline milage program without even staying there, then you should definitely check out these blogs and websites.

In case you are planning to reach Platinum status at an InterContinental Hotel or any other IHG property, then you should be following: www.travel.bart.la

My personal goal is to reach Diamond status at Hyatt Gold Passport, not as easy as at IHG but with the right strategy, there is nothing against becoming the highest tier of Hyatt Gold Passport loyalty program. www.loyaltylobby.com

Furthermore there is also the possibility to match your status. Which means if you are Platinum member at IHG or at LeClub Accor, then can reach the same tier at another loyalty program. I did this with my Starwood Platinum Membership Level, and I soon became IHG Platinum member without ever staying at an InterContinental or other IHG property. Furthermore there are Promotion Codes to get a free Platinum status at LeClubAccor. www.statusmatcher.com

Another good option to get an overview of more informative blogs, just check out www.boardingarea.com

Happy New Year!

Goodbye 2013 - Welcome 2014! 

2013 was a year full of new experiences and a lot of fun. Besides discovering new places I met new people and learned a lot of new things.

What about your travel plans for this year?Will you be going this summer? Asia, Australia, Africa, America or to Europe? Côte d’Azur, Costa Brava, Amalfi Coast or Santorin? 

Normally I am the person who does an extensive research, before choosing the right holiday destination, but sometimes even I have to act fast. So I did, when booking my ski holiday for 2014 in the newly Chedi Andermatt. 


At this time I do not have any concrete plans for the summer 2014. I am thinking about spending some days on the Côte d’Azur, Amalfi Coast, Capri or on the island of Vulcano (as I reported in recent posts). I know that there a beautiful places in Spain, Turkey or Greece, but I do not want to miss the undoubtedly excellent service, you can expect of a world-class hotel in Italy or France. Further interesting places such as Marrakech or Beirut, are not as safe as they have been a few years ago, due to terror attacks and political problems. 

The weather could not be better in Austria, so there should be no day without being on the slopes of a vast ski resort. My favourite place to ski is the ski resort of "Obergurgl-Hochgurgl" which got more crowded over the last three years, but due to the enormous scale of the resort there is no need to worry about tons of people.

I would like to thank you for reading my posts and your interest in my Luxury Travel Blog.

Last but not least I wish you all a happy and successful New Year 2014, may all your wishes come true!

Vienna to get a New Five-Star Hotel

It's now official, the Park Hyatt Vienna opens its doors.
Due to the fact that they had a large fire, they are not able
to open it in 2013, but there will be an exciting premiere
of Hyatt in early 2014!
