what a view!

A hotel with his­tory. Where to next? This is ex­actly where many busi­nesses go wrong. Hav­ing no plan is usu­ally not a par­tic­u­larly clev­er plan. With our help, the Hotel Heiden has begun a new chapter in its story. Our 10-year plan with clear mile­stones and well-thought-out fin­an­cing se­cures the long-term fu­ture of this long-es­tab­lished busi­ness. This of­fers se­cur­ity and peace of mind. But back to the story – the pic­tur­esque loc­a­tion, the breath­tak­ing view over the lovely coun­tryside down to Lake Con­stance. This is ex­actly what the guests want to ex­per­i­ence in the liv­ing and din­ing area and the feel­ing they wish to take back with them into their daily lives. That’s why we’ve turned the smal­ler spaces into a big, cozy space of­fer­ing the ul­ti­mate wow-mo­ment from every per­spect­ive.
