Unfortunately, the peak season for allergy sufferers begins when the sun shines longer, flowers bloom and everything turns green. More than 60 million people in Europe are affected by allergies. The trend is increasing. Are you familiar with this problem?

Hay fever is one of the best-known types. But some people are suffering from their allergies all year round. In simple terms, allergies are a malfunction of the body’s immune system. It reacts hypersensitive to actually harmless substances such as pollen, as though they posed a serious threat to the body.

Allergy sufferers can usually cope well with their illness with medication and in familiar surroundings. Statistics nevertheless reveal that 40 percent of all allergy sufferers will develop asthma during their lives. Cross allergies are also often a big issue for those affected, in which case an intolerance to various foods is added to the annoying hay fever. By the way, this figure is also increasing: every fifth German now suffers from a food intolerance or allergy.

Of course, caterers, and hoteliers are also adapting to this fact. For example, in many hotels the bed linen is already allergy-friendly to protect people with dust mite allergies. Our Green Pearls® partners are also perfectly prepared to deal with food intolerances such as lactose and gluten intolerances! How they deal with allergies and what alternatives they offer you, you can find out here:

A complaint-free vacation in Erlangen

The Creativhotel Luise in Erlangen features several rooms specially equipped for people with allergies. The rooms have, for instance, specially hypoallergenic bedding and mattress covers, as well special flooring. Allergies against dust, mildew and animal hair are counteracted here in particular.

At breakfast, there is also a wide selection of products to ensure that you also get your money’s worth despite food intolerances and allergies. Lactose- and gluten-free products are a matter of course here and all service staff can give you detailed information on allergens in the products.

Organic certified and open kitchen

In the Rhön, too, you can enjoy a carefree meal at the Biohotel Sturm! All dishes are homemade and processed according to the Slow Food movement. Thus, preservatives, convenience and other items do not find their way onto the menu. The advantage of this is that the flexibility gained means that any intolerances can be catered for—all you have to do is let the team know before you arrive. The modern cuisine concept at the Biohotel Sturm with the open kitchen in the evenings also allows you to get in touch directly with the chefs and watch them at work. Thus, individual ingredients can be inquired and insecurities can be clarified directly.

Even in the guest rooms, allergens are considered. The Biohotel Sturm therefore relies on long-lasting cold foam mattresses with an integrated WMS sleep system. This not only does something good for your back, the mattresses are also durable, and the cover is washable. In addition, they are breathable and do not absorb moisture such as sweat. So, they are particularly allergy-friendly, since no mites can settle in.

Restful sleep despite allergies

Of course, sustainability, hygiene, and comfort for all guests also apply to the pillows and blankets. At Biohotel Sturm, both are made of high-quality down, which is sourced 100% from sustainable and fair production. Certificates prove that the strictest attention is paid to animal welfare. So, the feathers come from geese from a species-appropriate animal husbandry in the family, and there is no live plucking of the down. The cushions are sewn in an allergy cover and are therefore suitable for sensitive people. Whatever allergy you have—the team of the Biohotel Sturm is perfectly equipped to deal with it!

The HUBERTUS Mountain Refugio Allgäu is also optimally well prepared for people with allergies. The bed linen and pillows used in the rooms of the alpine hotel are made of goose down and are unbleached, making them medically recommended even for allergies and asthma. The feathers used for the filling come from animals that have been kept in a species-appropriate manner.

Customized wellness treatments

The hotels can also cater to your special needs in the spa area. The CERVO Mountain Resort in Zermatt, for instance, has a wide range of massage balms and oils on offer. In addition, there is also the hotel’s own cosmetics line, which is used in the treatments. The products for this are natural and vegan. In addition, there are also allergy-friendly rooms here.
