Travel today is often rushed. Packed itineraries. Back-to-back meetings. Constant screen time. In the race to see more and do more, we often forget one of the most luxurious things a hotel can offer, stillness.
At Vhelbherg Imperial Hotel, we believe luxury isn’t always loud. It can be soft, quiet, and unhurried. It’s in the comfort of a well-made bed, the calm of a private courtyard, or the moment you lose track of time sipping coffee in the lounge. This is the heart of slow living, and it’s something we intentionally build into every guest experience.
Here’s how to embrace it during your stay.
1. Let Go of the Clock
Slow living starts with mindset. Not every hour needs to be filled. Try waking up without an alarm. Enjoy a slow breakfast, not a rushed one. Instead of checking your phone first thing, open the curtains, stretch, and sit with your thoughts.
Your room at Vhelbherg is designed to make you feel unrushed. No pressure. No agenda. Just presence.
2. Create Simple Rituals
There’s power in the little things: a morning tea routine, a sunset walk, a few pages of a book before bed. These small rituals bring rhythm to your day and help you feel more grounded.
Use your stay to rediscover what makes you feel calm. We provide all the space and silence you need to settle into those rituals again.
3. Unplug with Intention
You don’t have to go fully offline, but taking small breaks from screens can feel surprisingly freeing. Try leaving your phone behind during breakfast or putting it away an hour before sleep.
We offer complimentary journals and reading materials upon request for guests who want to use their time to reflect, write, or simply enjoy analog moments.
4. Savor Your Surroundings
Slow living is about noticing. The light through the curtains. The texture of your bedding. The aroma of fresh coffee. The sound of distant laughter in the lounge.
Vhelbherg Imperial Hotel was designed for moments like these. With warm tones, soft lighting, and natural materials throughout, the entire space invites you to slow down and take it all in.
5. Choose Experiences That Nourish You
Not everything needs to be an activity. Sometimes the most meaningful travel moments come from sitting still, talking to someone new, or doing absolutely nothing at all.
Whether you’re lounging in your suite, enjoying a quiet meal, or spending time in our peaceful garden spaces, choose what truly restores you, not what simply fills your time.
Final Thoughts
Luxury isn’t always about more, it’s often about less. Fewer distractions. Less noise. Less urgency. At Vhelbherg Imperial Hotel, we invite you to experience the art of slow living. To rediscover calm. To make space for reflection. And to leave feeling better than when you arrived.
Because stillness is a luxury. And it’s one we take seriously.
