Rostock/Sylt, 04.01.2022 - The new year brings a breath of fresh air to the Wyn Strandhotel Sylt: On January 1, 2022, Susanne Brunner took over the arcona flagship on the kilometer-long west beach of Westerland. The experienced resort manager brings management experience in the vacation hotel industry and her expertise in marketing and sales to the popular North Sea island.

From the Indian Ocean to the North Sea

The 43-year-old started her career in the travel industry and has gained experience in various positions in the international hotel industry since 2008. She worked at Robinson Club Maldives and other resorts in the Maldives and Mauritius, where Susanne Brunner held positions of responsibility including Director Rooms and Manager Marketing and Communication. Most recently, as Resort Manager, she was responsible for the pre- and post-opening of Kagi Maldives Spa Island. In May 2021, Brunner moved to the Romantik Spa Hotel Elixhauser Wirt in Austria. As a representative of the owners, she was responsible for operations, sales, marketing and PR

Ready for the island

"Whether in the north or the south: I love the special atmosphere and vacation quality of islands," says Susanne Brunner. "The Wyn Strandhotel is a jewel where you are particularly close to the sea - whether on the dune terrace on the beach or in the spa lounge high above the sea. I can't imagine a better place to work. As part of the arcona family and together with my team, I am delighted to be able to design this place in such a way that guests feel completely at ease and are happy to return again and again."

"I am delighted to have found such an experienced director for the Wyn.Strandhotel. With her international resort experience, Susanne Brunner will certainly bring many new impulses to the island," says Alexander Winter, Managing Partner of arcona Hotels & Resorts.

Susanne Brunner replaces Angelika Stranner, who is leaving the hotel for personal reasons and returning to Austria.

Hotspot not just for surfers

The Wyn Strandhotel Sylt is located behind the dunes, directly on Sylt's 40-kilometer-long west beach. It is just a stone's throw away from lively Westerland and attracts not only beach vacationers but also the elite of windsurfers in the summer months. Throughout the year, the hotel attracts travelers of all ages and interests to the island for cycling, golfing, horse riding or walking.

The 72-room hotel has a lot to offer not only outside, but also inside: One of the highlights is the indoor panorama pool on the top floor with a view of the North Sea.
