The Althoff Hotel Collection company concept is based on the three pillars:
Overview of the Althoff Hotel Collection:
The Grandhotel Schloss Bensberg has been the flagship of the Althoff Hotel Collection since autumn 2000. The hotel belongs to the Leading Hotels of the World and is one of the largest and most beautiful baroque castles in Europe. A total of 84 rooms and 36 suites, as well as a number of other attractive amenities, are available to the guests: from its own civil registry office and the 1,000m2 Beauty & Spa area with luxury products from La Prairie and Ligne St. Barth to the threefold gastronomy concept with the "Tratoria Enoteca", the restaurant "Jan Wellem" and the gourmet restaurant "Vendôme" managed by 3-Star chef Joachim Wissler. He is currently in first place in the "Capital Gourmetkompass 2009" , and among the 25 best chefs of the world. In 2007 the Grandhotel Schloss Bensberg received the Conga Award, distinguishing it as the best event location in Germany.
The opening of the Schlosshotel Lerbach by Thomas H. Althoff in 1992 was the cornerstone for the successful development of the Althoff Hotel Collection luxury brand. The 52 rooms and suites have been individually arranged in English country house style. Embedded in a magical countryside, the Schlosshotel, which is a member of Relais & Châteaux, provides its guests with a multitude of possibilities for relaxation and recuperation. These include fishing in the lake situated in the 28 hectare park, hot air ballooning, golf, tennis and hiking. The generous Beauty & Spa area with its wide range of relaxation offers such as Ayurveda, Thalasso, La-Stone-Therapy, etc. will leave no wishes unfulfilled thanks also to its brands Lancaster and Decléor. The hotel is especially famous for its 3-Star restaurant "Dieter Müller" in which Nils Henkel has been the Chef de Cuisine since 2008. The "Gault Millau" made Nils Henkel "Cook of the Year 2009". He is currently in shared first place in the "Capital Gourmetkompass 2009" with Joachim Wissler from the restaurant "Vendôme" in the Grandhotel Schloss Bensberg. The culinary school under the patronage of Dieter Müller based in the Schlosshotel Lerbach also enjoys great popularity.
Quality, pleasure and the unique surroundings make the Seehotel Überfahrt one of the most beautiful locations in the Alps. Situated in the romantic Malerwinkel directly on the banks of the Tegernsee lake, the Seehotel Überfahrt combines traditional hospitality with top class international luxury. The hotel, which has been a member of the Althoff Hotel Collection since 2007, is also amongst the Leading Hotels of the World. Affectionately also called "die Überfahrt" (the crossing), it is both a popular holiday destination as well as the ideal location for high-class private or company events. 134 luxurious rooms, 54 individually arranged suites and seven conference rooms of varying dimensions and capacities provide the perfect location for any occasion. Modern design and furniture of selected quality provide an incomparable atmosphere. The restaurant "Egerner Bucht" serves the culinary variety from the Alps stretching across Northern Italy, Germany and Austria. The comfortable "Bayernstube" serves the right dishes for those that prefer hearty Bavarian cuisine. In the gourmet restaurant "Überfahrt" 2-Star cook Christian Jürgens knows to spoil his guests with unique combinations of straight modern spirit in a stylish interior. The "Feinschmecker" magazine only just made Christian Jürgens the "Cook of the Year 2008".
The Fürstenhof is one of the three leading hotels in Lower Saxony and can look back on a long tradition. The historic baroque palace from 1670 is the core of the house that today combines tradition and modern spirit. The Fürstenhof was taken into the Althoff Hotel Collection in February 2005 and extensively renovated. A total of 68 comfortable rooms, furnished according to different themes, are available to the guests, as well as five wonderful suites and six function rooms. The restaurant "Endtenfang", awarded 1 Michelin Star, is the second best rated restaurant in Lower Saxony. Chef de Cuisine Hans Sobotka knows to spoil his guests with culinary highlights from his "Grande Cuisine Aromatique". Furthermore, the "Taverna & Trattoria Palio" (currently 16 points in the Gault Millau) serves its guests the ingenious "Cucina casalinga".
In 1998 the Althoff Hotel group was enhanced through the acquisition of the Hotel am Schlossgarten in Stuttgart. The hotel is a member of the "Leading Hotels of the World", and with its elegant interior it is deemed Stuttgart's top location in which to live, celebrate or meet. The 116 rooms and suites provide the warm ambience of a private house and at the same time fulfil the high standards expected of a modern luxury hotel. Furthermore, the hotel has an exceptional reputation thanks to its gourmet restaurant "Zirbelstube" which, managed by Bernhard Diers, provides French cuisine in an exclusive ambiance, and has also been awarded 1 Michelin Star. The guests can additionally choose between the "Schlossgarten Restaurant", the "VINOthek am Schlossgarten", the "John Cranko Lounge" and the "Café am Schlossgarten".
The Villa Belrose, which was included in the Althoff Hotel Collection in 1997, is located on the Côte d'Azur and is also a member of Relais & Châteaux. The hotel stands for rest and relaxation in St. Tropez, the legendary centre for the international jet-set. The villa and its terraces face perfectly south towards the sea and the sun and provide a sensational view of the bay of St. Tropez. A total of 37 stylishly furnished rooms and suites with marble bathrooms and private terraces are available to the demanding guests. Furthermore, the restaurant "Villa Belrose" by Thierry Thiercelin, which has been awarded 1 Michelin Star, entices its guests with Mediterranean cuisine.
The boutique hotel St. James's Hotel & Club is located in the heart of London's noble district of Mayfair, where London presents itself from its most dignified side. After extensive renovations it was reopened under the umbrella of the Althoff Hotel Collection in 2008. 60 rooms and suites provide the highest level of comfort in an exquisite design, and each room has its own balcony. The penthouse roof terrace knows to impress with a wonderful view of the historic district of St. James's. The intimacy of a town house is ably combined with the stylish elegance of a luxury hotel. The arrival of Executive Chef William Drabble at the St. James's adds an extra dimension to guests' dining experience. In his recently launched fine dining restaurant Seven Park Place, William offers a selection of dishes newly designed for the St. James's, which clearly illustrates the skill and creativity that won him a coveted Michelin star in his previous role.
