case study: A wealth of ideas that feel good: Adler Wellness at Hotel-Gasthof Adler (Germany)
The owner family is already running the ‘Adler’ in the fourth generation and combines traditional and modern harmoniously in one place with a certain flair. Plenty of wood and fine natural materials create a rustic, cosy charm. The omnipresent eagle coat of arms and old photographs allude to the long history of the ‘Adler’.
Total area: 300 m². Infrared room, lounge, relaxation room with an open fireplace, steam bath, Sanarium with Adler branding, sauna with a multimedia-system 'Atmosphere' by Klafs, experience showers, Stalagmite ice fountain.
Refined design elements surprise guests at different points in the wellness area. For example, there is the glass partition between the two saunas, colourfully illuminated three-dimensional coffers or the cascade infusion heater with panelling that alludes to the structure of stacked firewood – an element that pervades the entire wellness area.
