Question 1

In 2008 the hotel was temporarily closed for an extensive renovation, in 2010 the complete refurbishment took place – preserving the iconic shape of the tower section while expanding the lower complex – and in 2011 we reopened with modernized rooms, higher service quality, an upgraded gastronomy concept and an almost fully operational wellness centre. Today we offer modern, comfortable accommodation with first-class services.
