Two Hotels in One Resort,
Schloss Elmau has been recognized throughout the world as one of the best resorts and trendsetters in the industry. Our team of over 300 talented, motivated, professional yet genuine staff are the reason behind our success. Our management team is internationally experienced, long tenured, as well as innovative, and offers our employees maximum freedom with trust and responsibility. We promote and expect commitment, creativity and individuality. There is always a “open door ” policy with direct contact with top management.
In Schloss Elmau, every employee is a host to our guests. Schloss Elmau is a multinational destination and therefore English is the only language requirement necessary. Here at Schloss Elmau, we consider ourselves a learning hotel. With our 70 hotel apprentices, management trainees and hotel university internships, we excel at nurturing the hospitality spirit in everyone.
All employees has access to continuing education offers as well as regularly offered hotel training. The working conditions are state of the art, with two brand new hotels, fostering a working atmosphere characterized by mutual respect, trust and openness, with a time clock system, performance-oriented payment and an excellent staff canteen which also offers our employees, breakfast, lunch & dinner as well as vegetarian or vegan dishes.
Our employees also benefit from use of the hotel spa and fitness facilities, as well as overnight accommodations, discounts on food & beverages and access to all the employee benefits of the Leading Hotels of the World. We also provide employee housing at a reduced rate in the local communities of Klais, Krün, Wallgau, Mittenwald and Garmisch-Partenkirchen.
A free employee shuttle is offered between the Klais train station and the hotel, running twice every hour, which means that you do not need a car to live and work at Schloss Elmau. The cities of Munich (60 min) and Innsbruck (30 min) are wonderful nearby destinations to explore. The Bavarian Alpine region offers the additional benefit to all lovers of year-round outdoor activities, for both leisure and sport enthusiasts.
Last not least, all employees at Schloss Elmau can visit all cultural events with world-class artists free of charge.
