Hotel Der Waldhof²

Are meat alternatives the better meat options? 🍖 < 🌿 Guests at Hotel Der Waldhof² can choose between three main courses every day - meat, fish and vegetarian. Yesterday evening there was a premiere to celebrate. For the first time in our Hotel Der Waldhof, vegetarian orders for the main course surpassed animal-based products. So, which dish took the cake ? Planted chicken curry with lime, asian veggies and basmati rice 🍛 Even more surprising is that this is the case in September. A month which is usually characterized by guests of the Silver-Society. Vegetarian, or rather meat substitutes, were preferred by more than half of our guests - and only very few of them were from Generation Z. When asked about this, one loyal guest replied: “I've never had a bad meal at the Waldhof, so I decided to give it a try. If I hadn't known it was a meat substitute, I almost wouldn't have known the difference”. So are meat alternatives the better meat? 🌿 Not necessarily. Rather, they are high-quality products that are clearly convincing in certain areas such as animal welfare and climate protection. That's why these products deserve a place on our menus, especially in high-quality restaurants.

Go for gold! ✨ I'm not the guy aiming for awards, but this one made me smile - as I had the chance to combine my two passions, hospitality and photography. We are more than happy to announce that we received the "Signum Laudis in Gold" for our Hotel Der Waldhof² 2024 spa brochure. We are convinced that the best SPA products come directly from nature. That is why we have been working closely with great South Tyrolean partners such as Vitalis Dr. Joseph - Naturprodukte aus Südtirol for many years. The next step was to express this closeness to nature in our new spa brochure 🌿. Together with Diana Consulting, the idea came up to showcase South Tyrol's unique nature instead of classic clean beauty-images. Over the past years working as a part-time photographer, I took countless photos within our beautiful region. We selected some of my favorite ones and therefore created a rather unique spa-brochure 🌄 Belvita Leading Wellnesshotels Südtirol lana region

Faces of Hotel Der Waldhof² 🫱🏻🫲🏾✨ At our hotel Der Waldhof, we firmly believe that true hospitality begins with our employees. When looking for new faces to join our team, we really try to find characters that fit into our team-spirit. I'd say that character is even more important than skills, as skills can be trained and developed. Because of our flat hierarchy, communication and interpersonal relationships are the most important things for us - which are therefore creating a work environment where everyone feels valued and heard. To deal with different cultural backgrounds can be challenging sometimes, but even more rewarding as people learn from other cultures and therefore open their hearts and minds to the world 🌍. Working on a common goal, in our chase creating a unique, memorable and sustainable holiday experience, lets people grow as employees, but even more as humans. And isn't that what we all want in the end? Do you agree with me? What is your opinion on that topic?💡 #derwaldhof #team #belvitahotels #employees

Forest Aperitivo 🌲 🍷 Yesterday evening, our unique forest park became the setting for a wonderful wine tasting. In glorious summer weather, Carmen from RÖCK wein gut guided us through the world of her first-class, organic wines. Delicious appetizers from our kitchen team and vinyl jazz were of course a must 🌲🎼 #derwaldhof #röckwine #southtyrol #sustainability #experience

Last year we began to produce our own food - on a very small scale. With our first raised bed, we took a small step. Sometimes it is better to start things slowly if you want to implement change. By starting with one raised bed, we were able to figure out what it means to become a producer🥕. Soil quality, weather and existing local ecosystems are as important as maintenance and communcation. This year, we were able to take the next step in becoming a producer. In our new Geodome, a circular greenhouse, we begin to cultivate seedlings and to grow herbs (which will be planted outside in a few weeks). Next to it, on a field of 140m², vegetables, salads and edible flowers are growing 🥬. We are making one step at a time. So, for this year, our goal is to become 100% self sufficient as a hotel in terms of salads and edible flowers during the summer and fall months. #marketgardening #ecohotel #becomingaproducer

Today is a day that shouldn't actually exist. And yet it is still incredibly important to celebrate this day in 2024. Today women can and should be able to be and achieve anything they want in their lifes. We are incredibly happy that so many great women are part of our team. You enrich us in so many different ways and we couldn't imagine our hotel without you. Today is rightly dedicated to every women in this world! #derwaldhof #womensday #tagderfrau
