Bon voyage! The manager of Eighty Four Rooms, Sebastian Schollgen, studied Hospitality Management in Switzerland and Spain. After stints at the Ritz Carlton, the Villa Padierna in Marbella, the Swiss hotel Victoria-Jungfrau, and the Rocco Forte Hotel de Rome in Berlin, he realized his dream of starting his own agency, which now owns its offices in Düsseldorf-Oberkassel. The unusual name stands both for the year he was born and the number of hotels that his company has long since surpassed. SELLING POINTS: ? A selection of special, unique hotels in one handy volume ?
