In the world of luxury hospitality, delivering unforgettable guest experiences is the cornerstone of success. In our 15 years in luxury hospitality… At The Landing Resort & Spa, we understand that today’s discerning travelers seek more than just opulent accommodations and indulgent amenities. They crave immersive, locally-inspired experiences that go beyond the typical tourist traps. By thoughtfully curating unique attraction experiences that celebrate the rich traditions and vibrant cultures of our surrounding regions, we can create a profound sense of connection and lasting memories for our guests.
Now, this might seem counterintuitive for a luxury resort…
Immersive Local Attraction Experiences
The future of luxury travel is marked by a growing trend towards “life-seeing” versus sightseeing. Gone are the days when guests were content to simply check off a list of well-known landmarks and attractions. Today’s travelers are seeking opportunities to truly immerse themselves in the local fabric of a destination, engaging with the people, customs, and artistry that give each place its distinct character.
At The Landing Resort & Spa, we have embraced this shift by curating a diverse array of immersive local attraction experiences that allow our guests to go beyond the beaten path and discover the authentic heart of our region. From guided tours of lesser-known neighborhoods to hands-on workshops with local artisans, each offering is meticulously designed to forge a deep, emotional connection between our guests and the destination.
Take, for example, our “Heartbeat Streets” tour, inspired by the acclaimed initiative in Vienna. This guided exploration of the city’s vibrant Karmeliterviertel neighborhood immerses guests in the rich Jewish heritage and laid-back, creative vibe that define this enchanting enclave. Visitors can browse the colorful Karmelitermarkt, indulge in traditional Viennese cuisine, and even attend a private performance by the renowned Vienna Boys’ Choir.
Similarly, our “Spittelberg Stroll” invites guests to uncover the fascinating history and artistic renaissance of this former red-light district, now transformed into an upscale residential oasis. Guests can wander through the charming cobblestone lanes, admire the Biedermeier architecture, and explore the thriving galleries and boutiques that have made this neighborhood a hub of contemporary culture.
Celebrating Regional Traditions
At the heart of our immersive local attraction experiences lies a deep reverence for the unique traditions and cultural heritage of our surrounding regions. We believe that by honoring these time-honored customs, we can not only enrich the guest experience, but also contribute to the preservation and empowerment of local communities.
One of the ways we showcase regional traditions is through our artisan workshops and demonstrations. Guests can, for instance, join a family-run glassblowing studio in Asheville, North Carolina, and learn the intricate techniques that have been passed down for generations. Or they can participate in a hands-on indigo dyeing class and discover the ancient roots of this vibrant textile tradition.
Our culinary experiences also serve as a gateway to the past, allowing guests to savor the flavors that have nourished local communities for centuries. From goulash and Wiener schnitzel in Vienna to traditional Appalachian soul food in Asheville, each dish tells a story of the land, the people, and the enduring cultural identity of the region.
Crafting Personalized Experiences
At The Landing Resort & Spa, we understand that every guest is unique, with their own interests, passions, and travel preferences. That’s why we’ve developed a comprehensive suite of personalized experiential packages that allow our guests to curate their own immersive journeys.
Whether it’s a guided hike through the ancient forests of the Blue Ridge Mountains, a private cooking class with a renowned local chef, or an exclusive artist studio tour, our dedicated concierge team works closely with each guest to tailor the perfect itinerary that aligns with their individual interests and travel goals.
By leveraging our extensive local partnerships and deep-rooted knowledge of the regions we serve, we’re able to offer bespoke experiences that transcend the typical tourist offerings. Our guests leave with a profound sense of connection, having discovered the essence of a destination through the lens of its vibrant traditions and cultural heritage.
Sustainable Hospitality Practices
As a leading luxury hospitality brand, we recognize the importance of adopting sustainable practices that not only minimize our environmental impact, but also empower and uplift the local communities we serve. This commitment to responsible stewardship is woven into every aspect of our operations, from eco-friendly design to community engagement initiatives.
Our state-of-the-art resort facilities incorporate energy-efficient technologies, water-saving systems, and sustainable building materials, ensuring that our carbon footprint remains as light as possible. Additionally, we partner with local artisans, producers, and service providers to support the regional economy and foster a thriving, vibrant community around our properties.
