MISS CREATIVE CLASSY WITH CLAUS SENDLINGER

The first installment of our project with Miss Creative Classy is now live.  Here is a teaser from her interview with Design Hotels Founder & CEO, Claus Sendlinger…




It is 11 o’clock in the morning and old barges pass the Spree River while I am jiggling on my design chair in Design Hotels‘ headquarter loft. In a moment I will meet my PERSONAL BRAND GURU: Claus Sendlinger, the head and founder of Design Hotels whom I always wanted to get to know just to get trailed away in his visions for one of my favorite topics: the future of hospitality.

Two hours later I leave his office, feeling like a travellette having done one of her best trips ever being accompanied by one of the most creative entrepreneurs.

Before I met Claus Sendlinger in person, I touched the spirit of Design Hotels twice. One was somewhat disappointing, the other pretty inspiring. In case you should not know, Design Hotels™ is an international lifestyle brand that curates a collection of member hotels, which are very carefully selected. Last year 400 hotels did apply, 25 made it under the umbrella of the brand. All of those have an asset. And this is NOT JUST DESIGN. According to Claus Sendlinger “design is no competitive advantage anymore it is a minimum requirement.“ What made those hotels great enough to be supported by Design Hotels are the creative entrepreneurs behind them. The hoteliers.
