ECCO, LA DOLCE VITA A BERGAMO
This is a true story of Design Hotels™ Senior Art Director. He travelled to Italy to discover the GombitHotel, one of our most recent member hotels, and to experience a bit of Dolce Far´ Niente lifestyle.
While not doing anything at all but enjoying what Italians do best, namely doing nothing at all but enjoying sweet life, he took a few nice shots, which pretty much summarize it all:
Signore, dove si può vivere la dolce vita?
Noi due sappiamo benissimo come si fa niente!
La Città Alta di Bergamo, a walled-city close to both the Alps and Milan.
L’albergo: GombitHotel - an architectural monument dating back to the 13th century. It is an homage to the medieval city’s cultural heritage, food and art.

PHOTO SHOOTING IN SAGRES, PORTUGAL
Currently one of our teams from Design HotelsTM is in Sagres, Portugal. And believe it or not, the purpose of their trip is of professional nature. They are shooting one of our famous “Made By Originals” Movies (By the way, may I just mention that Made By Originals was awarded the “Best Marketing Campaign 2010” by the German association Travel Industry Club) at the Memmo Baleeira Hotel and its surroundings.
The “Original” the movie is about, is nobody less than the owner of the hotel: Rodrigo.
Impressions of the fishing village. For authentic fish dishes, Rodrigo recommends the “Mar a Vista” restaurant in Sagres.
A small extract of their shooting schedule: surf safari, boat trip, sunset sailing,…
…and yes, let´s not forget work is on the schedule too!
Shooting at the Castelejo beach.
Sunrise in Sagres: Most stunning view from the Memmo Baleeira Hotel.
An absolute hotspot for all surfer fanatics: the secret beach only known by locals; the street leading there isn´t even official. And for “wild beach experiences”, as Rodrigo calls them, “Telheiro” or “Ponta Ruiva” are the right places to discover.
Have a look at our existing Made By Originals Clips

JEALOUSY FACTOR MALLORCA
How can she be so tanned if it´s been raining for days in Berlin? The answer was so obvious, but we preferred to deny it because we were all jealous: MALLORCA!
One of our colleagues from Design Hotels™ has spent some, visibly, relaxing days on the island and stayed at the Hospes Maricel. She didn´t miss to share some of her holidays shots with us (to make us even more jealous of course!).
The view from her hotel room.
This is what we call an amazing pool and the best part: no photoshop, this is real! The pool is amazing indeed, she confirmed it and provided us the painful and unnecessary (our jealousy has reached a very high level by now) detail that the Mojitos were fabulous!
If you need more input to reach maximum jealousy, get some more information about the Hospes Maricel here!
There was also time to spend a day at the Puro Beach Club: Absolute relaxation with chillout music all day long!
Check out the PuroHotel Oasis Urbano!
