Taster Day in the ARCOTEL Rubin

On Thursday, 13 December 2012 we welcomed around 15 young men and women who are participating in a part-time course in the hotel industry / gastronomy.

In cooperation with Department for U25 Career Advice at the Employment Agency in Hamburg, we organised a series of programmes to outline the various jobs and opportunities in our industry to these young people from midday to 3.00pm, in a very "palatable" way.

The young people were welcomed by Mr Müller and Ms Koblitz. After a brief round of introductions, both of them presented themselves and their careers. They also touched on the various training opportunities available at the ARCOTEL Rubin. The young people were then taken on a guided tour of the hotel by Mr Stahl.

For the last part of the day the visitors were split into two groups. In these groups they were able to gain some practical insight into two key departments at the hotel, the kitchen and the events restaurant FACETTE. Tables were laid immaculately and various cutting techniques were practised in the kitchen. Finally, the groups sat down at the set tables and ate the food they had all prepared together.

The purpose of the day was to pass on some knowledge to the young people and perhaps also encourage one or two to join us for professional training.

ARCOTEL Moser Verdino Winter Special


The city has much to offer in the winter too, not just in the summer. Just outside the city, both young and not so young cross-country skiers con enjoy some time on the snow-covered fields. Only five minutes by car from the city centre you will find the "Schleppe-Alm", a small but fantastic winter sports centre with lifts, slopes, cross-country tracks and sledge runs for kids.

Other skiing areas such as the "Nassfeld" and the "Turracher Höhe", can be reached in only half an hour by car. When the temperatures drop you can ice-skate on the Lendkanal and the Kreuzbergl ponds, while if Lake Wörthersee freezes over it becomes the largest open-air skating rink in Austria.

A winter holiday in Klagenfurt can't be done without a traditional "Glühwein" at the Café Restaurant Moser Verdino! It is probably one of the most popular winter drinks in Austria. The hot wine drink spiced with cloves and cinnamon is a great way to warm your hands and your heart as you pass the time outdoors.

From "Trichter" to hotel

"Beim Trichter", this is the name of the street connecting Zirkusweg with Reeperbahn, and the ARCOTEL Onyx Hamburg is situated on the triangular piece of land bordered by these three streets.

Today it is principally a meeting place for business people and individual tourists, but roughly 150 years ago there was a small wooden pavilion in the form of a funnel. Back then, this part of the city was known as the district before the "Millerntor". Nobody suspected that it would one day become probably the most famous part of Hamburg, if not in the whole of Germany. The "Trichter" (funnel) quickly became a popular place to be, where small refreshments were available along with dancing and music from time to time.

During the period of the French occupation around 1806, the Reeperbahn was considered the "promenade d'amusement entre Hambourg et Altona". For the first time, the "Trichter" offered something quite spectacular: a panoramic rotunda was added, in which landscapes, mythological scenes or historical events could be viewed with a 360° panorama.

In 1814 the suburb was almost completely destroyed by fire, which engulfed the "Trichter" too. After being rebuilt in 1820 with an open veranda and billiards room it was bought by restaurateur Theodor Mutzenbecher and replaced with a more solid building. The "Trichter" was renamed by the new owner, and called "Mutzenbecher's Beer Hall".

You can "experience" just how this exciting piece of history continued to develop (from beer hall to concert hall) and how it eventually took on its current form of the 4-star-superior ARCOTEL Onyx Hotel by visiting our themed room, the "Kiez room" with original exhibits and photos from the St. Pauli Museum.
