Falkensteiner Hotel & Spa Carinzia ****s by Stephan Prossliner / Architecture and Interior

The project aimed to modernize the hotel interior while preserving its existing structure, with a strong focus on interior architecture and spatial quality. A comprehensive renovation was carried out across guest rooms, common areas, and the restaurant to establish a cohesive, contemporary identity defined by materiality, light, and proportion. Responding to the hotel’s family-oriented character, selected standard rooms were combined to create generous family suites.

The redesign prioritized spatial clarity, functionality, and atmosphere through a sensitive engagement with existing elements. The restaurant, bar, and spa relaxation area were completely redesigned using restrained color accents as a spatial element to create generous yet intimate communal areas. Natural materials support a warm and welcoming ambiance, while the dining area is structured into intimate zones through architectural furniture elements, such as wooden slats, open shelving, and integrated planting. Acoustic comfort was a key aspect of the design, enhanced through sound-absorbing materials, including Heraklith ceiling panels and upholstered surfaces, contributing to a balanced spatial experience.
