“Dancer against Cancer”– The ARCOTEL Kaiserwasser Vienna Helps Too

To mark the 25th birthday of ARCOTEL Hotels, we’re taking a look back at some of the things we have accomplished over the years. Take a walk down memory lane with us and enjoy some exciting stories and anecdotes from everyday life at our hotels!

In March 2009 the third “Dancer against Cancer”charity ball in aid of the Austrian Cancer Society was held at the Austria Center Vienna. Dr. Renate Wimmer, the owner of ARCOTEL Hotels had volunteered to act as a judge. Thanks to the many generous guests, the event raised a total of EUR 40,000 and one month later a cheque for this amount was presented to the Austrian Cancer Society at the ARCOTEL Kaiserwasser by the ball organiser Yvonne Rueff.

Manfred Mayer, CEO of ARCOTEL Hotel AG, declared, "We are pleased that we can make a contribution to helping the Austrian Cancer Society and are delighted to make our house available for this very special evening. Once again the culinary delights from the AROCTEL kitchen were created by our award-winning chef Johann Schwarz and his team.”

A host of prominent guests, including most of the former “Dancing Stars” participants, came to the presentation of the cheque: Ulrike Beimpold (cabaret star), Hans-Georg Heinke (former TV presenter), Toni Polster (former footballer), Michaela Schimanko-Stiedl (owner of the Edenbar) and Ingrid Turkovic-Wendl (former ice-skater and TV presenter. Katrin Lampe, the well-known TV presenter, hosted the evening.
