After the renovation, the traditional hotel in one of the imperial resorts on the island of Usedom was to regain the charm of the sophisticated hotels of the Baltic seaside resorts. Fine woods and ceramics as well as rattan-covered room dividers and ceiling elements were therefore chosen as key design elements for the interior design. The rooms were designed to be inviting, open, cheerful but classy.
The reception area was reorganized with individual reception terminals and equipped with IT and control panels. Floor-to-ceiling glass cabinets were designed to screen off the restaurants and lobby and were installed as room dividers. The lobby with seating and a fireplace was placed directly next to the reception.
The main restaurant was furnished in the glass-covered conservatory with comfortable wicker chairs and striped cushions. Wicker lamps and “bathing carts” as service stations convey a cheerful beach atmosphere.
The buffet restaurant was furnished with wicker chairs and continuous benches with high backrests for use by groups of guests of different sizes. In the ceiling area, specially prepared historical photos were mounted in frames as backlit large slides measuring 3.0 x 3.0 meters.
With the installation of a coffee roasting plant and the in-house roasted coffee, the hotel has been given a unique selling point. The café, which is adjacent to the roasting plant, offers a selection of coffees as well as the opportunity to enjoy the patisserie’s cake and pastry variations.
The restaurants, café and bar were grouped around the central production kitchen to ensure efficient, functional and hygienically compliant work. The production kitchen with all its sub-areas was renovated in individual areas and adapted to the latest technical standards.
The first floor was closed from January until Easter in order to carry out all the measures. The hotel rooms were accessed via an interim corridor; the lobby and dining rooms could be used in the neighboring hotel owned by the same group.
Design, execution and construction drawings for the entire furnishings, lighting and other building services were prepared, coordinated and commissioned. Materials had to be delivered from all parts of Europe and stored in warehouses provided for this purpose.
