How it all began
2003
The Hotel Panorama Royal was opened in 13 June 2003 with 43 rooms, 2 seminar rooms and a small wellness area.
Corporate development
The way is the goal
Originally from a residential background, I fell in love with the property where the Panorama Royal now stands. Geomancers recognised that the property is a measurable energy and power place, but no flats were allowed to be built here, but a hotel was approved. So I became a lateral entrant and a "hotelier late bloomer".
I had a plan drawn up of what a hotel on this special place could look like and set it as a screensaver on my PC. With the plan in mind every day, my dream took shape until I followed my inner voice and opened a small hotel, the Panorama Royal, in June 2003.
With a clear vision, a lot of commitment and heart and soul, step by step I built a wellness and relaxation hotel that today can be counted among the best hotels in Europe. However, not many people shared my conviction of long-term success and so there were only a few loyal companions who mastered numerous hurdles with me and helped to clear many pebbles out of the way. With every difficulty solved, the hotel grew and moving on felt really good.
I realised that a hotel needs uniques and a philosophy to guide the staff and guests. Our natural uniques include the beautiful location and the power spots on which the hotel stands. These were complemented by our unique concept "Our Way of Healing", which is based on the values of drawing energy and vitality, achieving serenity and equanimity, radiating joie de vivre, living mindfulness, feeling regeneration and living sustainability.
Far Eastern knowledge, which I was able to learn and experience with the monks in the Shaolin monastery, also had a great influence. So it made sense to combine millennia-old knowledge with Western practices to bring body, mind and soul into harmony.
As a former building contractor, it was always a great concern of mine to push the visual and structural development, as it is my conviction that beautiful and dignified hardware is necessary for an appealing ambience and represents an important criterion for guests and staff. Special attention has also been paid to the training and development of our staff, who play an important role as co-hosts. Each of them is part of our philosophy, which is also reflected in the way we treat our guests.
From the very beginning, each of our steps has been based on our motto "Source of energy, strength and joie de vivre". Our motivation is that every guest feels the philosophy and goes home with a bit of energy, strength and joie de vivre after a stay at the Panorama Royal.
Yours sincerely, your host Peter Mayer
