Faellt jemandem vielleicht etwas knackigeres ein als mir zu dieser spaeten Stunde?

Refresh, Experience, Relax klingt nicht gut, und eine englische Alliteration will mir schon gar nicht einfallen...

Danke fuer Ideen!

refreshment, relaxation and recreation
Explanation:
At least it provides the alliteration - and recreation more or less covers the "Erleben" :-)

rest and relaxation


Explanation:
I don't know how creative you can be, actually R & R is not very creative at all, as it is a set phrase, but I'm not sure how much adventure one can realistically expect at a guest house (legally, anyway).

Refreshing recreation and relaxation


Explanation:
... it indeed is difficult to come up with something satisfactory here, but maybe changing the setup of the slogan like this gives you some more inspiration....

"Experience the R & R"


Explanation:
Somewhat different.... maybe something along those lines....R&R is common usage for rest & relaxation...
