WE DON’T SERVE. WE MEET OUR GUESTS EYE TO EYE.

Hello! Awesome that you got here.

I AM EMANUEL, HOST AND BOSS OF THE BIOHOTEL SCHWANEN

As you have probably already read on our website, I am managing the Schwanen in the 5th generation and before I returned to the Bregenzerwald I worked for 13 years in the best restaurants in New York City and San Francisco. Above all, what did I learn? Teamwork makes the dream work! I look forward to the Schwänen every day and I am proud to be part of such a great team.

From now on, everything you see and read comes from the Swans, in other words the staff members at the Schwanen. They sat down together and have written down everything they think may be of interest to you. Here you will find personal statements, and texts that the whole team think are good, and together that makes: the Schwanen.

Have a read through, take a look at everything, and feel free to get in touch with me. We look forward to hearing from you. See you, Emanuel from the Schwanen.

WE ARE A YOUNG, DYYNAMIC AND SUPER FRIENDLY TEAM!

Honestly, it is true! The Schwäne live and work in Bizau in the Bregenzerwad, a place where time has been forgotten. The Schwanen has been a certified organic hotel since 2009 Organic hotel, our kitchen has been awarded three hauben, and we cook exclusively according the teachings of Hildegard von Bingen and our service is outstanding.

The detail to everything, from starched serviettes to the sustainable energy achieved through a climate positive hotel, is extremely important to us. It is shown through our approach to our guests. Our motto is: We are the Schwäne. We greet our guest eye to eye, not from above and not from below.

HOW DO THE SWANS WORK?

The swans work in a team, swans stick together as together we are strong and successful. We pull together. Our attitude is what unites us in the Schwanen: Honesty. Respect. Passion. Sustainable planning. Discreet action. Friendliness. Fun. Levity. Joy in learning.

Each team member has their place. You are recognised. We are all individual personalities and that makes the Schwanen so colourful. A bonus: We don’t wear uniforms – everyone wears what they are most comfortable in.

This really is about us as people, you get noticed and you get promoted.

WHERE TO WORK IN THE SCHWANEN? WHERE CAN YOU HELP?

WHY SCHWANEN?

“We live and think a sustainable corporate philosophy and focus on quality and commitment in the team and as a company. We also benefit from further training and a positive working environment in the midst of nature here and in the Bregenzerwald. Every day we cook fresh food and eat together.” Anna

“The different departments of the Schwanen work closely together, we help each other. Those in service wash up now again and vice versa. Through this close knit working together we are able to rely on and support each other. The team spirit impresses me. “WE– the team”, are the Schwanen. We live and work here.” Sophia

“The boss doesn’t just sit in the office – not at all – Emanuel is with us step by step in all areas, when we need help or support.” Lucie

We love what we do.
