Secret Resorts in Germany - A Checklist
to Find Them
by: Marcus Hochstadt
Final Issue with the German Hotel Classification and the overall checklist
To cut a long story short, here we go :-)
German Hotel Classification
A quite good indicator to select and find Secret Resorts in Germany
is our German Hotel Classification. It's masterminded by the German
Hotel and Restaurant Association (DEHOGA).
1996 they established their classification "code". Their
assessment is based exclusively on objective criteria. Individual evaluations
are emotional and subjective. This is why the hotel rating does not
mirror subjective aspects.
And you specifically can use this system as one more criteria on selecting
and finding the Secret Resorts of your dreams.
They categorize hotels in a 5-Star segment. Each hotel classified by
the German Hotel and Restaurant Association has a signal outside
their hotel, mostly close to their entrance. On that plate you see immediately
how many Stars this hotel has, given by the DEHOGA.
See it however as a short message about quality standards of that hotel.
The range goes from 1 to 5 Stars, whereby a Wellness Hotel with 5 Stars
might be a Secret Resort. You will however also find Secret Resorts
with a 3-Star plate outside. But they should not have a plate less than
3-Stars, okay?
Good. In Germany however are some TOP-hotels without this plate, because
they assign to have "their own" classification code.
Anyway, as I already told you this is only "one more" indicator
for your selection.
For more details about our German Hotel Classification go to their
official website at www.hotelsterne.de/englisch/index-englisch.html
and browse through their descriptions.
So, finally we can go now to the overall checklist of how to find Secrets
Resorts in Germany. With that checklist handy you surely will find the
Wellness Hotel of your dreams. Simply print this page out and check
each point.
Enough the fluff, here we go... ;-)
Checklist
Step 1 - Environment
* Location, Location, Location! The Secret Resort should not be on
or near a high traffic street
* Layout Plan; to see where the Secret Resort is located
* With their addresses handy go online and do a research on a route
planner by yourself (I have recently produced a video on how to use
our German route planners. You can watch it for free by simply signing
up for my free monthly Special Report at www.smart-travel-germany.com/smart-travel-guide.html)
* make sure the wellness hotel is located near a forest or at least
far away of 'daily traffic'
Step 2 - Age and Condition
* when were the Secret Resorts built?
* when were they reconditioned the last time?
* last recondition should have been within the last, better six years
* do you find the beauty of the hotel outside or inside? (should be
inside; you don't sleep and get treatened outside, do you?!)
Step 3 - Wellness Sector
* Sauna; at least two, better four AND INSIDE the house (not a few
miles to drive)
* Solarium; if desirable
* Massage; this is absolutely a MUST have! Here also: IN-house
* Pools; also, should have been reconditioned recently
That’s it! Slap your back, we have covered a lot!
Now that you know how you find real Secret Resorts in Germany, I wish
you a great trip and a pleasant stay!
