Hotel extension with an internal connection

The extension has a consciously natural design with wooden balcony railings, gray plaster and a green roof, so as not to compete with the atoll-shaped existing structure with white facade and tin roof. The main building thus retains its dominance and clear legibility even from the distance of the mountains. The conical shape of the extension prevents view restrictions from the existing rooms. Even if you look directly in the axis of the extension to the North, the sloping green roof covers the impression of a building volume.

The shape of the new building takes over the architectural language of the existing hotel and thus makes the architecture of the extension a logical component of the overall composition with a sculptural effect and a strong, unmistakable identity.
The extension docks at the central circulation core of the existing hotel and can be reached directly and barrier-free from the entrance hall. The new building reaches the 2nd level of the existing hotel via ramp.

The bathrobe corridor on the 3rd floor of the new building enables a direct, barrier-free connection to the second level of the existing hotel and, as a further extension, access to the hotel spa with “skylinepool” and the newly built hotel spa “Gletscherview” on the roof of the public thermal bath. Through the views in and out from the interior connection and the light-flooded void through several levels, the circulation area around the guest rooms becomes a lively and exciting space.

The clear room height of the hotel rooms is 2.85 cm. The housekeeping areas are right next to the elevator core and are easily accessible. The construction of the ceilings, room partition walls and corridor walls is reinforced concrete. The thermal activation of these elements brings high, noiseless comfort when cooling. Ceiling fan coils can also be used for short-term cooling. The new prefabricated shafts in the hotel rooms, which also have a very good insulating effect, help save construction time and space.
The new building offers 61 room units with 122 beds and many connection options through the different rooms in order to maintain a high degree of flexibility in marketing. The additional daybed in each room can be pulled out into a full-size additional bed. On the ground floor, up to 8 units can be gradually combined to form a large single unit. The ground floor rooms offer a covered terrace with a small private garden. All upper floor units have covered balconies or loggias and a wonderful view of the Pinzgauer Grasberge. The hotel rooms use natural materials, a very differentiated artificial lighting concept, as well as a high-quality sleeping system, a luxurious bathroom, tools for digital detox (the circuits near the bed can be switched off) and state-of-the-art technology. Further amenities are smart TV, cable & satellite TV, air conditioning, minibar. The separated through stylish glass elements bathroom with shower and separated toilet space, harmonizes with the overall picture of high comfort.
Extension of the restaurant and kitchen

The radial expansion of the existing building brings the required additional space without disturbing the overall composition of the existing hotel. The light construction made of KLH wooden ceilings and visible laminated wood beams can be seen in the restaurant's winter garden. The new attraction of the restaurant is the show cooking island.


Fitting room / shop
The fitting room / shop has a prominent location fully visible when entering the new building. The jump in level along the ramp is used for exhibition purposes and as a seating area. The central location of the fittings room along the entrance to the new building and next to the fireplace increases the number of guests considerably. Bicycles and other products can be displayed under the sweeping roof.

Fireplace
The multifunctional fireplace has been reimagined and transformed as a space out of the existing building and is therefore clearly visible upon arrival. You also have an inviting view of the fireplace from the side exit of the restaurant extension. Larch wood shingles on the walls, stone cladding in Rauris natural stone and other natural materials and colors contribute to the overall comfort. Events such as readings, workshops and lectures take place regularly around the fireplace.

Hotel spa "Gletscherview"
The new attractions of the hotel spa "Gletscherblick" are unmistakable and, despite their presence, fit perfectly into the existing structure. By using the existing architectural language and design elements, they act as logical, associated components of the overall design. An overload with additional stylistic devices is deliberately avoided. Neither the new panorama sauna "Gletscherview" in the glass cone, nor the partially covered and with windbreaks new "Gletscherview-Pool" hinder the panorama view.
