HOTELIER OF THE YEAR
KORBINIAN KOHLER, SPA & RESORT BACHMAIR WEISSACH
83700 Weissach, bachmair-weissach.com
Points: 93
Luxury and an innovative style were what Korbinian Kohler brought with him when he acquired the once not too glamorous Bachmair. Under his leadership, the hotel has become an internationally renowned spa and resort over the past decade - at five-star level, of course. In the Bachmair, the hotelier and entrepreneur combines water and fire, making it a gem on the tourist-booming Tegernsee. Yet Kohler originally comes from a different direction, namely from a family business active in paper design. He is a man full of sparkling ideas in the now very familiar hotel business, and he has helped several projects to success. He is known for taking unusual paths. And the innovative visionary already has his sights set on the next project worth millions.
