Body and soul in harmony at the Zelloon boutique hotel
Clarity and Genuineness
'Whenever guests enter our hotel, they are often overwhelmed by the sensuousness of the interior design and feel immediately at home, cocooned in our oasis of comfort and security', explains Dr. Herwig Kunczicky, who is not only the hotel's physician but also owner of the family-run Zelloon. The outstanding and clear architectural forms at the hotel are evidence that the focus is on individuals. The term Zelloon, too, has its own story to tell: It brings together the name of the town (Zell am Ziller) which derives from the word 'cell' as the origin of all life and the 'Saloon' as a meeting place.
A focus on health
Before setting up his hotel, Dr. Herwig Kunczicky worked for many years as a doctor – in a wide variety of fields. 'Eventually, I came to the realisation that mainstream medicine has its limitations. Many forms of therapy only doctor the symptoms, and do not treat the underlying causes. That is when I decided to try to master the balancing act between vacation and regeneration in the form of a new hotel concept'. As a result, the Zelloon has its own Medical Department, a suite of 8 treatment rooms, offering the opportunity for individual massages, special detox treatment as well as cupping and bath therapy. Similarly, personal coaching is also available. Next door is the Zellmed medical centre, offering guests further types of therapy and additional medical consultancy.
“First and foremost, all visitors are guests in my eyes. The doctor only enters the stage to deal with specific issues”
All under one roof
Laundry care, too, is organised in-house in the harmoniously styled boutique hotel. 'We went for an on-premise laundry above all to do justice to ecological considerations', says Dr. Kunczicky. Miele was involved from the word 'go'. More than 40 years of experience made the decision an easy one. Miele offers high-quality products, excellent after-sales service and, naturally, immaculately clean laundry'.
Tailored to individual needs
In future, the focus will increasingly be on healthy living. 'In autumn 2022, we launched our health programme, catering to the individual needs of guests and covering a variety of topics. Together, we seek to balance out energy deficits, ensure sound sleep, promote exercise outdoors and increase the detox effect through special-purpose therapies'. And he has an important tip on hand: 'Each person is an original by dint of birth. Take good care of that original with wholesome food, sufficient exercise and being empathetic towards those around you'. This keeps body and soul in top form at all times.
