The fist true German 5-star hotel in China, Hotel Maximilian, will open soon. Peter Schaumburg was appointed as general manager.

第一家真正意義的德國五星級酒店，萬世名流酒店即將開業，宋彼得先生被任命為該酒店的第一位總經理。

Originally from Germany, Schaumburg has worked in the hospitality industry for decades. Prior to taking on his new role, he held a senior position with Key International Hotel Co, the management company of the Kempinski Hotel in China.

來自德國的宋彼得先生有多年的酒店從業經驗，在擔任萬世名流酒店總經理之前，他曾經在凱賓斯基酒店集團擔任高級管理職位，主要職責就是負責中國區的凱賓斯基酒店。

“We are committed to providing an individual luxury experience to people, and will spare no efforts in putting great attention to detail, ensuring high quality in every aspect. Not only do we preserve our German heritage, but we also offer innovative hotel concepts on the highest level of quality with enthusiastic employees ensuring the best service.”

“我們致力于為客人提供一種獨特的奢華體驗，不遺余力的重視每一個細節，確保在各個方面提供高品質的服務。這里不僅保留德國的文化傳統，同時，我們對于如何保持最高水準的品質創造了全新的服務理念，來到這里，相信我們熱情洋溢的員工能為您提供最好的服務。”

The hotel is located in the Audi World complex, neighboring the new Wang Jing business district and the National Stadium (Bird’s Nest). Hotel Maximilian is operated by Steigenberger, one of the most famous luxury hotel management groups in the word. It is the most prestigious German luxury hotel management company, with over 80 years of experience. It is also the maiden trial for Steigenberger to bring German hospitality and culture to China.

酒店坐落于國內首家、世界最大的奧迪世界之中，地處北京文化經濟新區，毗鄰望京商圈及國家體育館（鳥巢）。萬世名流酒店是德國施泰根博閣酒店集團在華管理的第一家國際五星級酒店。具有80年管理經驗的德國施泰根博閣酒店集團是世界久富盛名的豪華酒店管理集團之一，首次入駐京城的施泰根博閣酒店同時也把熱情好客的德國酒店的文化傳統帶到了中國。

Referring to his own life philosophy, Schaumburg said, “The most important philosophy to me is heartfelt hospitality. That means we are looking for people who really believe in it, that it is their life goal and what they want to do. They are willing to provide excellent service no matter which area and department they belong to.”

談到他自己的生活哲學，宋彼得先生說，“對我來說，最重要的生活哲學是真摯的待客之道。這意味著我們正在尋找真正相信它的人，并使之成為他們的人生目標和方向。無論在哪個職位哪個部門，他們都愿意為客人提供最優質的服務。”

The hotel marketing is faced with fierce competition at home and worldwide. All hotels are adopting different strategies to raise their own market share. “It is good to have a competition market, which will help raise the quality and strengthen the management of our hotel in many ways and increase our competitiveness. Competition is good for us,” said Schaumburg, who is always ready to meet challenges.

無論在國內還是國外，酒店市場都面臨著非常激烈的競爭，所有酒店都采用不同的策略提高自己的市場份額。“存在于一個充滿競爭的市場是很好的，它將激勵我們不斷提高服務質量，增強酒店各方面的管理，使我們的酒店更有競爭力。這無疑對我們是有益。”宋彼得先生如是說，他告訴我們他始終準備好面臨各種挑戰。
