Designer hotel and spa in Rovinj to open in 2009
25 September 2008
A large luxury hotel and spa is being planned for Rovinj in Monte Mulini to open in mid-2009.
The Hotel Lone will be designed by 3LHD architectural group, who have collaborated with a number of young Croatian designers and artists in developing the project. The wellness centre will be designed by Studio 92, 3LHD’s associates for wellness design.
The hotel will be situated in the attractive tourist area of Monte Mulini, the green oasis of the town of Rovinj. The hotel will be located in a park, on a specific terrain with significant height differences within the site, in immediate vicinity of the Eden Hotel, the “star” hotel in the ’70’s, with aesthetic characteristics of the time when it was constructed. The ground plan in the shape of the letter Y has been defined by the size of the building (250 rooms), the surrounding wood and terrain elevations, while the height differences in the interior provided for creating a vertical central lobby, the main axis around which all the facilities are centred. All levels are multi functional, this improving the dynamics of daily use.
The design objective was to create a powerful visual identity ranging from the external design of the building to the interior planning of the facilities. The solution plan provides for a building the highest of hotel standards with 250 residence units, two restaurants, a brassiere, five bars, a conference area and a wellness centre, over six levels, but optimally built into the slope and in harmony with the surrounding greenery.
