Hotel Property Award Winner 2023

Congratulations to Falkensteiner Hotel Montafonfor winning the Hotel Property Award 2023!

In connects luxury, enjoyment and fun for the family in one holistic eco-friendly concept. Even within the available entertainment programme, the topics of renewable energy and the conservancy of nature are picked up upon.

In regards to architecture, the main goal was to integrate the building into it’s surroundings.

 

 

Other finalists in alphabetical order

Hotel Goldene Rose, Dinkelsbuehl – The hotel can look back on a diverse history. The main building, which dates back to the 15th century, was first to be purchased by the family of the current owner. Little by little they also bought the four properties behind it. This is how the idea came about to unite all buildings under one roof and focus on preserving the historical structure. While the Golden Rose has always accommodated travelers, the immediate neighbors have served as restaurant, brewery, granary, cinema, dance hall, casino and residential buildings over the centuries. The greatest challenge of the project was to develop a uniform and contemporary spatial concept from this variety of functions without obscuring historical traces. The entire hotel reflects the design idea of the project: the translation of the past into the present.  

 

 

Scandic Munich Macherei - The hotel supports the district's philosophy "Die Macherei", with Scandic's concept "YOUR FRIEND IN TOWN" and an "industrial chic" interior design. The spectacular architecture of the building and the interior design refer to the former industrial site of a brick distillery. For Scandic, hygge as a design idea is a mindset, a mindfulness concept that runs through all areas of the hotel: starting with the homely design, through the sustainability and reusability of the individual products to the comfortable rest areas. Above all, comfortable box spring beds, spacious bathrooms and only textiles that have been awarded the Green Button. Community and inclusion are also thought of comprehensively: as many needs as possible of guests with physical limitations are met (e.g. with rooms for allergy sufferers, accessibility in all public areas, food intolerances, etc.).
