Kate Collyer Sep 30, 2012:
Also agree with Horst that getting the concept of "jeder einzelne Bereich praesentiert sich" right is important.

I would suggest "each aspect of the hotel is a vignette of/the epitome of".
Kate Collyer Sep 30, 2012:
Agree with Brigitte I think "gem" is less than helpful in connection with hospitality.
BrigitteHilgner Sep 28, 2012:
peak of hospitality I would move away from the "gem".
thefastshow Sep 28, 2012:
Great, book me in ! - I could do with a break :) ... Thanks that's relevant information though.
Lesley Robertson MA, Dip Trans IoLET (asker) Sep 28, 2012:
@ thefastshow and Brigitte It's not clear in the text as to what these Schmuckstücke are. It's basically explaining why this hotel (5-star) has so many returning guests ... "es liegt daran, dass sich jeder einzelne Bereich des Hauses als gastliches Schmuckstück präsentiert und das Zusammenspiel aus den exklusiven Gourmet,- Vital,- Wellness,- Wohn- und Beautywelten königliche Urlaubsträume beschert."
BrigitteHilgner Sep 28, 2012:
@ thefastshow vielleicht ist es einfach nur gemütlich, mit Herrgottswinkel und so ... (nein, ich möchte zu diesem meinem Gedanken keinen Übersetzungsvorschlag unterbreiten).
thefastshow Sep 28, 2012:
Das sehe ich eigentlich auch so.
Allerdings könnte es sich übersetzt etwas seltsam anhören. Zudem wird ausserdem nicht ersichtlich, was die Besitzer/Authoren unter Schmuckst¨ck verstehen. Ist es nett heimelig oder wirklich tolles Design? : Ich vermute böswillig einmal ersteres ;)) - dann könnte man das Hauptmerk auf Gastlichkeit legen.
Ansonsten aber sollte man jedenfalls zwingend auch auf die gestalterische Schönheit eingehen.
BrigitteHilgner Sep 28, 2012:
Kontext würde helfen Ich vermute, dass sich "Schmuckstück" weniger auf die Gastlichkeit im Allgemeinen als das Aussehen bezieht.
Ohne Gewähr: looks as glamourous as hospitable/inviting
writeaway Sep 28, 2012:
what have you already thought of and rejected? It does appear to be fairly Austrian.

the hotel offers a lavish welcome
Peer comment(s):

agree Horst Huber (X) : Yes, the real rpoblem is the awkward word "Bereich". The idea is, not so much the whole hotel in all, but each small corner is inviting. Anything wrong with "jewel"? --- So welcome. Still, we don't want it too compact, rather, a sense of cozy spaces.

Thanks Horst. Google came up with a "lavish jewel" of a hotel in San Sebastian!

welcoming gem of hospitality

A bit much, but in hotel marketing, they often like to put it on in layers ...
Peer comment(s):

agree Roman Lutz : That sounds good to me!
1 hr
Thanks, Roman.
neutral philgoddard : This is kind of a mixed metaphor, because gems can be described in lots of ways, but they're not welcoming.

True - it is mixed. But isn't it the nature of metaphors that one thing borrows from another?

with comfort and beauty in mind

Hotels seem to use this one a lot in their advertising..

Every area of the hotel is designed with comfort and beauty in mind

From source below:
"Every area of the hotel is uniquely designed with comfort and beauty in mind as part of an architectural masterpiece. "
Peer comment(s):

agree Kate Collyer : even "comfort and luxury"

change it dramatically for literacy: see below

The opulent ambiance of elegantly interwoven domains; (list of areas),
embraces our guests like returning royalty, which is what they are.

Not so happy with the ending, but I think it really needs to turned around to be appealing.
