GF Germany - Winter/Spring 2012
Our cover feature is devoted to the “adamas” – the most noble and unyielding of all precious stones. This leads us to the legendary Duke and Duchess of Windsor and their almost 40 years of mutual passion for Cartier and the fine art of jewellery. We also turn our attention to an accessory imbued with symbols: the glove. In recent times the glove has assumed the role of an indispensable accompaniment for the fashion conscious, yet in the Middle Ages gloves played a major role in acts of signing: treaties were regarded as signed and sealed after a glove had been handed over. In line with the spirit of the season, we have not overlooked the world of fur, where fashion designers are offering a sheer inexhaustible wealth of inspiration. In this spirit too, we wish you a year 2012 brimming with inspiration and enjoyment.

InterContinental Düsseldorf<br />
In the 170 square metres suite of the<br />
Intercontinental Düsseldorf with its spacious,<br />
splendidly appointed spa compartments<br />
you can enjoy the first-class<br />
benefits of a completely separate private<br />
spa – and at the same time take in the<br />
broad expanse of city skyline.<br />
From the relaxation zone at the rear<br />
of the suite you can make your way to<br />
the Jacuzzi, where your own spa butler<br />
produces on request the full sensation of<br />
an elaborate spa experience. The guest<br />
can be revitalised with a Finnish or biological<br />
aromatic steam treatment in the<br />
adjacent sauna and tone up afterwards<br />
with the aid of a unique holistic concept<br />
– an open rain shower and ice fountain.<br />
Further highlights of the wellness area<br />
include an adjacent private massage<br />
and beauty lounge with a professional<br />
treatment couch.<br />
Breidenbacher Hof<br />
a Capella Hotel<br />
In the word of Horst Schulze, President and Founder of<br />
the Capella Hotels and Resorts, the Breidenbacher Hof is<br />
conceived not only as a revival of a tradition that goes<br />
back to the year 1812 but also as setting “a new quality<br />
benchmark for first class hotels throughout the entire<br />
hotel and catering industry“. Its service culture meets the<br />
most exacting of standards. In addition to the exceptionally<br />
comfortable 79 guest rooms and 16 prestigious<br />
suites, hotel amenities boast the exclusive Restaurant<br />
1806, a modern Capella Bar, a superlative cigar lounge<br />
with the largest walk-in humidor in Europe, a beauty<br />
clinic and a separate area with stylish boutiques.<br />
