His ideas have revolutionised the world of spas: Peter Droessel is in demand worldwide for his accomplished spa concepts. His international renown is based on the most diverse spa concepts, successfully realised and profitable for clients around the world. He thus founded the high-end chain SPA FUTURESSE (now well-known as Le Spa Group), which is established among others on the luxury liner MS Europa. He turned the Brenner's Spa in Baden-Baden into the European number one during his six-years engagement for the Oetker Familiy. His unparalleled idea of a "Private Spa Suite" -and its professional realisation- have reached cult status well beyond the domain of luxury hotels. His "Spa Beauty & Therapy Concepts" for world-class establishments in Europe, Asia, North America and the South Pacific are legendary.
Peter Droessel as well has successfully developed and coached the world's first NIVEA HAUS for the Beiersdorf Group in Hamburg.
Peter Droessel has been active in the field of spa consultancy, development and management since 1980. He began his career as a physiotherapist and private therapist in his own health & beauty centre on the Canary Islands, managed the Club Bellevue rooftop the Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten in Munich from 1983 to 1994 and went freelance in 1994 with launching the first VITTEL SPA GUIDE in 1995 as publisher and operated the very first german DaySpa in Cooperation with Biotherm at the Munich Marriott Hotel. He spent years gathering experience abroad, among others in the US and in Asia. In Germany, his wife and his daughter are presently managing and operating the CitySpas at the Le Méridien hotels in Munich, Hamburg and Stuttgart and launched the extravagant Iliahi Spa Services at the famous Schlosshotel Bühlerhöhe in early 2006.; Mr. Droessel's international list of references includes the Villa D'Este in Italy, the Bürgenstock Hotels, the Suvretta House in St. Moritz and the Parkhotel Vitznau in Switzerland, the hotel resort Turnberry Isle in Miami, the Elbow Beach on the Bermudas and the Manele Bay Hotel on the Hawaii island of Lanai, Columbia Resort, Cyprus and many others.
He is highly respected as guest speaker in London, Dubai, Moscow and Lucerne and many other venues around the world. He will be guest speaker at the Monaco Spa Event in January 2007.
As spa & recreation director of the impressive InterContinental Resort Berchtesgaden, which is his latest and current project, opened in March 2005 and has received international awards already, such as being the Spa Resort of the Year 2006/2007 in Germany and earning money ten months after opening! Peter Droessel, there, is combining luxurious cosmetic lines, innovative design ideas and newly devised spa rituals to create a temple of well-being in one of the most beautiful settings of the European Alps. In close collaboration with La Prairie, Juvena and Li'Tya from Australia, a new interior design with circular treatment cubicles and wet - suites were created for this challenging project. "These treatment rooms have a completely distinct energy", enthuses Peter Droessel, "because the circular element evokes infinity rather than limitation."
Presently he is incorporating the first high-end spa training-academy for international spa specialists at THE MOUNTAIN SPA and improves other spas' operation by sending his spa management team as a powerful and skilful task-force.
