“Dear Mr. Nesta and Ms. Argen,
We would like to thank you very much for the prominent mentioning of the Kulm Hotel St. Moritz in 7 articles in the April 2008 Luxury Experience.
We have read itwith great interest and have printed out the various articles on Chef Nussbaumer, the Spa team, etc. They were very happy about it! Let’s hope that many readers of Luxury Experience will be interested in the Kulm and will contact us. ”

At Rathsallagh we are often approached by magazines and other media interests to cooperate in promotional articles and competitions etc, indeed we get so many that we tend to ignore most of them, and the ones that do arrive seem to be more interested in R & R then in taking an active interest in the property they are supposed to be writing about. And when they do get around to publishing, the articles they write are an obvious rewrite of our own promotional material.
Then one day I received an email from Debra Argen and Edward Nesta of Luxury Experience Company, and from the very onset one could see that here were two people that were supremely professional in what they were doing and more importantly extremely interested in what they were actually writing about.
Dealing with Debra and Edward has been a delight from the start, their interest, knowledge, and dedication to the subject at hand is second to none. Indeed, when I read articles they have written on other properties, I can be confident that the picture they paint is as reliable and fair as one can possibly get.
