Team Herzglut: The employees at the four-star superior Hotel Steiner

Our chef Arnold Huber, was already with us in 2006. His profession is his greatest hobby, he also loves to cook for his loved ones in private. It is very important to him to process regional products. "The end product can only be as good as the ingredients you use for a dish" says Arnold.

Arnold is not only a chef, he can call himself a master chef and a certified dietary chef. He has experienced so much in his career, including at the Hotel Brigitte in Ischgl, the Hotel Alpina in Obergurgl, the Tuxerhof in Tux and the Hubertushof in Anif. He has also gained his experience in Switzerland, Italy and England and yet his love for Obertauern has not left him. Arnold learned to ski in Obertauern with his dad when he was 3 years old and still remembers that there was always so much snow in Obertauern.

Anna is a recomer she also already was with us in 2019 as Chef de Rang.

Not surprisingly, because she loves the mountains of Obertauern this is also reflected in her hobbies (hiking, skiing). Her greatest hobby, however, is wine; she would love to know everything about her favourite subject, which is why she found the sommelier exam quite easy.

She also shares her love of wine with Thomas Steiner and the two have another thing in common, their favourite drink is Chardonnay.

Despite her young age, nothing can faze her - her greatest strength is always motivating the staff with her cheerful manner.

"If you don't have a smile on your face, you won't leave our restaurant" says Fabian our restaurant manager.Of course, the same goes for his Herzglut service team.

It is not always easy to keep the staff motivated, but he succeeds best with one "Schmäh" (joke) or two.He keeps an overview in stressful situations and that is perhaps also due to his background, including on the MSC Europa 2. His older brother was also in our Hotel and worked for us as Chef de Rang, and he recommended that he take a look at the Hotel Steiner.

In his free time, Fabian loves the mountains ... how fitting ... he enjoys ski touring and skiing.

Annabell, was born in Atlanta in august 1982. Her father is American and her mother Austrian. Here at Hotel Steiner she work as head of the beauty department. She is massage therapist, beautician and pedicurist therefore she can do nearly every spa treatment we offer in the mountain spa.

Her hobbies are her dog and quilting. She owns a male stud beagle which she takes to various dog shows in Austria and surrounding countries. Quilting is a family tradition and it is so much fun. She really loves to patch different fabrics and the results are always stunnig.

"The man for everything" That is our janitor and technician Christian. From shovelling snow to handling luggage – Christian is always friendly and at hand when needed. For many years he has been absolutely essential to our staff team. A lot of his duties happen in the background – but are highly important for the smooth running of our house: e.g. monitoring of the indoor pool technology, control of the heating and air-conditioning units, all big and small repairs in the house, snow-removal with our shovel loader, shuttle-service, etc...

Christian is an authentic Lungauer – he completed his education at the ‚Technical College for Mechanical Engineering' in Hallein and after his national service he worked as a locksmith for the company Zanner. Two years ago we were lucky to win Christian for our business as house technician. One of Christian's passions is being a fireman at the station Mariapfarr. His hobbies include therefore the group of the voluntary fire service, skiing, mountaineering and touring.

Years of experience, longest employee (more than 15 years) in the Hotel Steiner our housekeeper Dragana provides with her team for cleanliness in the house.

If she doesn't know the hotel inside out, who does?

Dragana never loses the smile on her lips and that's exactly how she motivates her employees every day anew.

Sometimes she raves for hours about how beautiful the couch they just cleaned has become. She trains her employees, often for hours on end, prepares duty schedules, takes care of the distribution of tasks, and makes sure that the team spirit and enthusiasm never wanes.

On her days off Dragana loves to do nice things with her husband Milen, her daughter and her son - we are all still waiting for the day when they all learn to ski together ;)

Attentive, reliable, ambitious and responsible are just a few characteristics of our head of reception and reservation Jasmin.

Jasmin applied for a job as a receptionist one year ago and was able to take on the role of reception superviser.. Thanks to her determination and her long experience, which she has already made in the best hotels in Austria, including at Burg Vital Resort, Ebners Waldhof am See and the Genusswelt Döllerer, Jasmin could be used as a full member of our team. So she has all the qualifications a head of reception needs and represents our Stefi (on leave) with our fullest trust. On her days off she prefers to go skiing with her boyfriend in wintertime or enjoy life while visiting a top restaurant.

Christina has been living in Obertauern all her life and knows the village and the surroundings like the back of her hand, she loves the mountains, the icecold mountain lakes and overflows with good spirits! The environment and nature are as close to her heart as the passion for vegetarian cooking and baking cakes!

As a hotel assistant, Christina works very closely with the host family. She is the link between the employees, the guests and the hotel management. Her tasks include the registration and deregistration of employees, different administrative activities as well as the coordination of the individual departments. The most extensive part consists of the management of the social media channels as well as the marketing at Hotel Steiner which Christina takes care of together with Andrea Steiner. You can often see her whizzing through the hotel all day long – taking videos and photos – rearranging a cushion every here and there, changing the fresh floral decoration, jump in and help clearing the tables or answer the telephone at the reception because all employees are busy with the guests at the moment. A young, good soul – who often keeps things in balance in the background – that’s our Christina!
