The renovation of the apartments with an iconic view of the Grandhotel Pupp was conceived as a meeting of history and modern living. The generously sized original apartment was divided into three separate units – two spacious one-bedroom apartments (2-room) and one cozy studio (1-room) – which now accommodate both short-term stays and longer visits. This approach restores the original layout, as the building originally served as an annex to the Grandhotel Pupp.
Every detail was designed to provide residents with full comfort while remaining faithful to the spirit of the place. Glass partitions with subtle framing bring more light into the bedrooms and corridors and, upon entering the apartments, open up a view of the Grandhotel Pupp. The authenticity of the interior is emphasized by refurbished lighting fixtures, retained period furniture, and stripped plaster revealing decorative roller-painted layers. The parquet wooden floors reference traditional historical patterns.
Refurbished doors with brass hardware and newly constructed bathrooms in a modern standard connect the past with the present. The result is a space with soul – a place that captivates immediately upon opening the door.
