Sporty, Sportier, ARCOTEL Rubin Hamburg 2nd Place in the Competition for the Sportiest Team of Hosts

"Do you go jogging with your colleagues through the hotel lobby, do press-ups in the restaurant, turn pans into dumbbells in the kitchen or compete against one another in the hotel pool. Or do you work out together after you’ve finished work? If you do, then take a photo!" – this was the invitation to take part in a competition of a very different kind.
"Our 4-star Superior Hotel ARCOTEL Rubin Hamburg didn’t have to be asked twice by the AHGZ (Allgemeinen Hotel- und Gastronomie-Zeitung) and got straight down to business – after all, this competition was simply perfect for a hotel team that is always on the move", as Manfred Mayer – CEO of ARCOTEL Hotel AG – put it.

The reception was turned into a gym as the ARCOTEL Rubin team showed off its sporty side.
Trainee Elisa Schöncke occasionally likes to take the plunge into a hotel bath, while Marco Schubert, the head waiter from the banqueting department, keeps himself fit by doing chin-ups on the baggage trolley. And if that were not enough, he "lifts" both Front Office Manager Myriam Spalting and Front Office Agent Caroline Schweizer and their chairs. The AHGZ rewarded this tongue-in-cheek sporting ambition with a voucher for a House Running session. Adventure-loving athletes are attached to a special harness and then given the chance to take a most unusual walk along the edge of a hotel roof before walking down the side of the building facing the floor.

Rainer Müller – Management ARCOTEL Rubin Hamburg:
"Our team has already built up a reputation as passionate hosts – after all, the ARCOTEL claim is 'Hosts with a Passion'. The ARCOTEL Rubin Hamburg also has a passion for sports and proves that a 'sporting attitude' is always an advantage, even for a job in the hotel industry."
