SUSTAINABLE, HONEST, REGIONAL: IMLAUER HOTELS & RESTAURANTS
The IMLAUER philosophy
Regionality and sustainability. Terms that have become buzzwords in recent years. But for us, they are much more than that. We can proudly say: IMLAUER hotels and restaurants live these values. They characterize our philosophy. They guide us in our daily activities – in our teamwork as well as towards our guests.
Our ultimate goal? The unreserved satisfaction of our guests. How do we achieve this? In which we give our all for you every day. It starts with your booking and ends… preferably not at all. Because the majority of our guests come back again and again. We are particularly proud of the high number of regular guests in our establishments. This confirms us in what we are doing and at the same time spurs us on.
“Joy of service” is an important part of our identity
Despite our size of around 1,200 hotel beds, we have remained a family business at heart. Firmly rooted in the region, with a personal touch and the necessary eye for detail. After all, we want you to feel at home with us all year round. This “joy of service” has been exemplified by the Imlauer family for years. And around 500 employees – including 75 apprentices – in Salzburg, Vienna & Pichlarn live it together with us. Day after day.
The thing with the personal touch
This personal approach runs through all IMLAUER establishments. It is reflected in our hotel rooms, restaurants and bars. Timeless elegance paired with Salzburg charm. Everything has been planned and implemented in such a way that we ourselves also feel completely at ease in all areas of the IMLAUER establishments. Only high-quality materials were used in the interior areas – from warm wood and soft leather to fine fabrics and individual designs. All installed by local companies – for unforgettable feel-good moments, regardless of whether you come to us for a vacation trip or check in for business purposes. By the way: all our establishments are barrier-free. For unlimited vacation enjoyment and relaxed business trips.
That’s what makes us special: Regionality and partnership-based connections
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is said to have once said: “Do you want to wander on and on? Look, the good is so close. Just learn to grasp happiness: For happiness is always there.” This beautiful quote can be perfectly applied to the Salzburg region. It is rich in history, culture and beautiful nature. This nature produces valuable food every day. That’s why we do as the great German poet did and source the good things directly from our immediate neighborhood. Because the quality is just right. And also because, as a family business, it is important to us to support the region and our local partners.
Together we are stronger
With our culinary-regional quality concept, we consistently pursue a mindful, regional approach throughout the year. In the IMLAUER Hotels & Restaurants we offer you bread and pastries from the Rösslhuber bakery in Bergheim and the Leimüller bakery in Seekirchen, meat and sausages from the Renner butcher’s shop in Maxglan and from the Franz Ablinger butcher’s store in Oberndorf near Salzburg. The IMLAUER kitchen team sources seasonal fruit and vegetables from the Walser vegetable farmers, among others. We get our milk and dairy products from Salzburg Milch. The organic free-range eggs come from Siegfried Imlauer’s Thomanhof farm in Saalfelden am Steinernen Meer and from IMLAUER Landgut Schloss Pichlarn in Ennstal. We are constantly strengthening and expanding our extensive regional partner network.
Increasing local added value
But the focus on regionality also extends beyond the culinary arts in our businesses. We source the sanitary products for the IMLAUER businesses from Hagleitner in Zell am See, while Doll from Seekirchen is our partner for renovation work. And the interior design comes from the Abtenau hotel outfitter Voglauer. The company Hasenauer, based in Saalfelden and Eugendorf, ensures the best indoor climate with heating, plumbing and ventilation.
The Freund joinery from Leogang provides us with individually planned furniture in our offices and team restaurant. Because good things are so close at hand. This creates local added value, increases indirect profitability and makes a valuable contribution to sustainability thanks to low transportation costs.
Speaking of the region and sustainability: In Salzburg, Vienna & Pichlarn, we employ around 500 people and around 75 apprentices (of which around 40 are in Salzburg) – making IMLAUER the largest tourism apprentice trainer in Salzburg.
Green and proud of it
Sustainability is a central component of our philosophy at IMLAUER Hotels & Restaurants. Since 2015, most of our establishments have been awarded the Austrian Ecolabel and stand for responsible tourism in Austria. At the IMLAUER Hotel Schloss Pichlarn, we focus on practicing regionality: products from our own farm and short delivery routes ensure quality and conserve resources. Our commitment is complemented by a photovoltaic system for the use of renewable energy.
This is how we combine environmental awareness with maximum comfort – for a sustainable stay in Austria.
