Luxurious Magazine: "Karol Krauser Hasegawa brings over 35 years of experience in wellness and holistic healing. He has traveled globally to study traditional healing practices: yoga, meditation, martial arts, and sports medicine."

Karol brings 35+ years of mastery spanning sports medicine, traditional healing arts, and mind-body practices to create truly transformative guest experiences.

What Is Seven-Star Service?

While official hotel ratings cap at five stars, the concept of "seven-star service" emerged from ultra-luxury properties like the Burj Al Arab and the world's finest superyachts. It represents a philosophy that transcends standard hospitality.

  • Anticipatory care: knowing what guests need before they ask
  • Absolute discretion: privacy and confidentiality as non-negotiable
  • Complete personalization: every detail tailored to individual preferences
  • Invisible excellence: seamless service that never feels intrusive
  • No request impossible: flexibility to accommodate any reasonable need
  • Genuine expertise: staff who are masters of their craft, not just trained employees

Having served ultra-high-net-worth clients on private yachts and at world-class resort properties, Karol understands that discerning guests expect more than technical competence. They expect an experience calibrated to their individual needs, delivered with discretion and genuine care.
