The Seehotel Waldstätterhof in Brunnen is one of the most traditional Grand Hotels in Switzerland. Directly on the shores of Lake Lucerne, you can look out over the lake and up to the Rütliwiese meadows. A stunning panorama of mountains, crags and water transport many a visitor into a reverie.
The Waldstätterhof in Brunned was opened on the 17th July 1870. This modern luxury hotel run by hotelier Fridolin Fassbind is still reminiscent of the times of yesteryear. The location and views of the hotel are also just as stunning today as they were back then. No wonder then, that the Waldstätterhof has already been graced with the presence of such illustrious guests as Queen Victoria of England and Hermann Hesse. In order to maintain the service and the ambiance of a first class hotel, regular renovations are inevitable. The latest reconstruction work in the Rôtisserie restaurant, the Baartli bar, the Susten Stube and the new building of the Rütli Saal were completed in March 2016.
The Ligno in-Raum AG in Emmen is known for its wealth of experience in the field of hotel renovations. The team developed a renovation concept for the Waldstätterhof that brings together traditional elements with modern architecture and design in complete harmony. Despite the high demands and the multi-faceted requirements posed by the respective premises, the team from Ligno in-Raum AG managed to create an impressive overall concept for the redesigned areas. It was important to the contractors that they make the most of the local resources. That is why many of the products used were supplied by regional manufacturers.
Bauwerk Parkett supplied “Formpark oak, smoked” and “Villapark oak, smoked” for the floor. “We were impressed with the products on account of their high quality, which is especially suitable for use in a Grand Hotel”, says architect Guido Henzmann, founder of Ligno in-Raum AG. Not only the materiality, but also colour and the laying patterns fit nicely into the architect's new design concept.
We were impressed with the high quality of the products and this makes them particularly suitable for a grand hotel
