Above Merano, the Hotel Prinz Rudolf, with 78 rooms and 4 suites, was realized in 2020. It consists out of a restaurant and bar on the ground floor, a wellness area with infinity pool and a green rooftop. The project “Prinz Rudolf” represents an architecture that rises from the history & morphology of the location, combining both themes into a modern concept for a smart hotel. The hotel Prinz Rudolf owes its name from the Crown Prince of Austria and Hungary, son of the Austrian Empress Sissy and her husband Emperor Franz Joseph, who got lost in the surrounding woods during an excursion and was found near the hotel. The theme of prince Rudolf is omnipresent in the hotels interior design, starting from the combination of black and gold up to the chandeliers. This revocation of an aristocratic environment into a contemporary style, creates a unique character that characterizes the hotels interior design. Also, the building with its curved lines, uses all the natural features of the landscape to create the illusion of melting with the landscape. Under the roof are different levels that reflect the landscape through their glass facade.
