Celebrating bathing culture.

The hotel Badeschloss celebrates its own history, while taking a playful approach to bathing culture. It is a place where the past meets the present, and its atmosphere is vibrant and sociable.

The 102 guest rooms of the Badeschloss are spread out across the original building and the 13-floor newbuild behind it. “The facade was designed as a double-skin, coloured-concrete construction,” Markus Kaplan of BWM Designers & Architects explains. “The fact that the skins have different thicknesses gives the facade a lively appearance and a relief-like character that blends into the Alpine surroundings,” adds BWM project manager Martina Lehner. This principle extends to the different designs of the windows: Ornamental brass balustrades add sparkle to the otherwise rock-like structure. The upper storeys feature bay windows that project beyond the facade and serve as decorative elements and “display cabinets” for bathtubs. In this way, the bathing culture theme is communicated to the outside world. The proverbial – and literal – crowning glory is the infinity pool on the roof; the glass crystal steps into the pool take centre stage and are a reference to the glass domes on the roof of the Bad Gastein conference centre, planned by architect Gerhard Garstenauer.
