"We want to change the world, no less!" – That is the mission of Anne Biging and Dr. Elisabeth Ixmeier, the founders of Healing Hotels of the World. It was their ambition to create profound and enriching experiences for travelers that brought this global brand to life in 2006 and has kept it growing ever since.
More than 100 hotels and resorts worldwide comprise the elite properties bearing the quality stamp of a Healing Hotel. It’s an exclusive group, hand-picked by invitation only, offering the best healing treatments and an overall holistic approach for their guest’s body, mind and soul – tailor-made and individually crafted for each person’s needs and goals. Every member hotel is a unique hide-away with a specific health focus, providing amazing, sustainable experiences. The demand for meaningful holidays on a personal level is growing. Healing Hotels are differentiated from wellness hotels because they actively support guest's desires for enhanced health, happiness and balance in their lives, during their stay and after they depart. Becoming a member of Healing Hotels of the World means elevating your property and services to the next level, providing the ability for you to welcome new guests from all over the world.
Let´s celebrate 10 years of Healing Hotels of the World; 10 years of healing and 10 years of making a significant change in people’s lives… for many more to come!
