Janet Schroeder serves as Geschäftsführende Direktorin of the operating entity.

The core product spans overnight accommodation, two on-site dining venues (Schlossrestaurant 1745 for fine dining on Friday and Saturday evenings, and the Brasserie for all-day regional cuisine and breakfast buffet), a wellness area with two saunas and a ~200 sqm natural swimming pond, eight event spaces accommodating 5–120 guests (plus a rustic hall at neighboring Gut Brook for up to 400), and a curated calendar of multi-night packages. Ancillary revenue lines include bicycle and SUP rental, golf partnerships with two nearby premium courses (Lübecker Bucht and Timmendorfer Strand), a Day Spa offering for non-overnight guests, a retail shop (Schwansee Shop) selling house-made and skincare products, EV charging, pet-friendly rooms, and a voucher/gift certificate channel via voucherbooking.de. Headcount is stated at 51–100.

The business model is direct-to-consumer luxury hospitality with diversified revenue streams. Distribution is predominantly direct through the hotel's own booking engine (onepagebooking.com) and a central reservation line, supplemented by voucher portals and OTA presence on TripAdvisor, HolidayCheck, and Trivago (HolidayCheck rating 93%). Pricing is unit-based and varies materially by season, room category, and package, with peak holiday packages (e.g., Silvester 4-night from €1,898; Christmas Magic from €499.50) commanding substantial premia. The customer base spans affluent leisure travelers, celebration and wedding parties, corporate groups, wellness seekers, golf enthusiasts, and travelers with pets.
