Presentation of the Aktiv Hotel Award at FIBO 2024
Bar ohne Namen
Entschlossen verweigert sich Savage, der Bar einen Namen zu geben. Stattdessen sind drei klassische Design-Symbole das Logo der Trinkstätte in Dalston: ein gelbes Quadrat, ein rotes Viereck, ein blauer Kreis. Am meisten wurmt den sympathischen Franzosen dabei, dass es kein Gelbes-Dreieck-Emoji gibt. Das erschwert auf komische Weise die Kommunikation. Der Instagram Account lautet: a_bar_with_shapes-for_a_name und anderenorts tauchen die Begriffe ‘Savage Bar’ oder eben ‚Bauhaus Bar‘ auf.
Für den BCB bringt Savage nun sein Barkonzept mit und mixt für uns mit Unterstützung von Russian Standard Vodka an der perfekten Bar dazu.

On 11 April 2024, the excitement grew: the successful travel portal www.meintophotel.de presented the Aktiv Hotel Award 2024 for the sixth time. The coveted trophies for the best active hotels in German-speaking countries were awarded for the first time at FIBO in Cologne.
FIBO, the world's largest trade fair for fitness, wellness and health, provided the platform for the presentation of Freizeit Verlag's Aktiv Hotel Award for the first time. With an increased focus on the hotel industry, FIBO once again presented itself as one of the most important industry get-togethers for hoteliers and spa operators this year from 11 to 14 April.
On the Thursday of the trade fair, 11 April, the focus was on the national hotel industry. Presentations and expert talks provided exclusive insights into the industry. The festivities began at 2 pm in Hall 8 with the presentation of the Aktiv Hotel Award from 'Mein Tophotel'. This award honours hotels whose active area offers exceptional concepts and solutions.
The basis for the industry-relevant award is the travel portal www.meintophotel.de with the representative hotel guide 'Mein Tophotel' 2024. Both online and in high-quality print format, the travel portal exclusively presents top addresses for discerning active holidaymakers.
Under the experienced moderation of Emily Whigham, the award ceremony on the stage of the Meeting Point Spa & Wellness was called: "And the winner is...":
Golf
Sonnenalp Resort in Ofterschwang (D)
Three golf courses in the Allgäu foothills of the Alps, two 18-hole and one 6-hole short course - perfectly maintained and sensitively integrated into nature. Plus a breathtaking mountain panorama. On top of this, the resort offers an all-round golf service that is unrivalled. In the two PGA-certified golf schools, you can get a taste of the game individually or in groups or enjoy professional tournament preparation. It is not without reason that the Golf Resort Sonnenalp is one of the leading golf resorts in Europe.

Yoga

Winter sports
Suvretta House in St. Moritz (CH)
The Suvretta House in St. Moritz has been a hotel institution beyond the borders of Switzerland for years.

The Berghaus Schröcken in Schröcken (A) and the Hotel Rudolf in Bruneck (I) were also nominated.
Mountain sports
Excelsior Dolomites Life Resort in St. Vigil (I)
Five times a week, the hotel offers guided hikes to the most beautiful places in the Dolomites. Usually the hoteliers Tamara and Werner Call themselves guide you through nature, which they know like the back of their hand. 2000 kilometres of hiking trails through the surrounding nature parks are waiting to be explored. Equipment hire, tour tips, the Excelsior hiking app and the shuttle to high alpine access points are also provided as a matter of course. Summit tours with mountain guides are also possible. Those who can't get enough of climbing can try their hand at the climbing wall on the hotel façade.
The Böglerhof - pure nature resort in Alpbach (A) and the Mountain & Spa Resort Alpbacherhof in Alpbach (A) were also nominated.
The winners were honoured with a trophy specially made for the occasion by 'Mein Tophotel'. "We congratulate this year's winners on their first-class active holiday expertise," said Jacqueline Schaffrath, Head of 'Mein Tophotel' Hotel Guides Print & Digital.
After the award ceremony, FIBO invited guests to a community get-together at the Meeting Point in the afternoon from 4.30 pm. The day concluded with a dinner at the five-star Hyatt Regency Hotel in Cologne with industry representatives and award winners, which was framed by an exciting keynote speech by world record freediver Christian Redl.
