Freshen up with an Alpine health check
The reoping of Parkhotel Igls outside Innsbruck, following an €8-million renovation that includes a new pool complex and spa, highlights the continuing popularity of residential health clinics. Like the Mayr & More clinic in Carinthia, the 51-room hotel draws on the teachings of FX Mayr, who found that 80 per cent of chronic disorders were caused by unsuitable nutrition and insufficient exercise. Designed to tackle issues arising from diet, posture and stress, programmes are based on eight light-eating plans and five therapy modules including the Super Medical Check – a sort of M.O.T. for the body – in cooperation with the University Clinic Innsbruck. Austria is now the only one country to offer body check-ups to stress-out professionals.
Super Medical Check at Parkhotel Igls from € 1,760.00

The start of Lent is traditionally seen as a time to tighten belts, exercise some abstinence, giving up something important, cleanse body and mind, focus on the change of the season and look forward to summer.

As the leading house with many years experience in this field, the Parkhotel Igls offers a programme for prevention and regeneration according to the Modern Mayr Medicine, linked to an excellent synergy of traditional and alternative medicine.

A new dimension of hospitality
After two years of anticipation the Bülow Palais opened in February 2010. It is situated just a few steps away from the Bülow Residenz, its exquisite Relais & Châteaux sister hotel. The Palais is situated in the fabled Königsstrasse and overlooks the ‘Dreikönigskirche’ and the romantic lime tree square in front of the church. The exterior blends perfectly into the baroque architecture of the historic quarter of Neustadt, however the interior is set to surprise with its style mix, intensive colours and contemporary art throughout. Just 44 luxurious rooms and 14 elegant suites of very generous proportions are arranged over three floors. In the culinary department the intimate Michelin starred Caroussel restaurant with 50 seats has moved over from the Bülow Residenz to find a new home at the Palais.
In addition the Palais Bistro will serve light German cuisine. The good feel factor is rounded off with a cosy bar and an exclusive cigar room. Two generous and bright conference rooms offer latest technology for meetings and business gatherings and a superb fitness and spa area with sauna and cosmetic sections are completing the picture at this stunning new hotel. The Bülow Palais represents a hitherto unknown ambiance amongst Dresden Hotels, a unique style and character which can only be achieved through years of experience in the private hotel sector. The hotel is privately owned by the Bülow family, the Managing Director, charismatic Ralf Kutzner ‐ formerly of the Bülow Residenz ‐ is now also in charge of the Bülow Palais.
