12 ASI LODGE The legend and its successor Hotel Windegg in Steinberg am Rofan was a pioneering feat: in 1989 this hotel by Hans Peter Petri, a very young architect, provided a pointer to the future. The building was dignified, spacious and reduced. It must have been the first hotel in which architectonic accents were used to bring the outside area inside into a magnificently designed interior room. It quickly became an insider‘s tip, particularly for literature and art lovers. Vernissages, readings and concerts were held there from time to time. It was a real “art hotel“ and not merely on account of the paintings on the walls. In 2006 Hotel Windegg was converted into an ASI lodge by the architectural partnership of Heinz & Mathoi & Streli. A three-storey, linear building has been added to the existing accommodation. With its warm, perpendicularly structured larchwood façade the new building is in marked contrast to the white socle of the original building. It signalizes the hotel‘s new philosophy: modern architecture combined with an active outdoor programme in an emphatically friendly atmosphere. Something different: modern hotels in the Tirol Further info Quite contrary to the usual clichés of stag‘s antlers and cluttered parlours, the Tirol boasts a whole variety of modern buildings with clear lines and demanding architecture. Architect Lois Welzenbacher‘s old Hotel Seeber in Hall, for example, was already a sensation when it was completed: the tower with its projecting balcony seemed to be screwed out of the ground. The renovation of that tower hotel in 2003 and its extension to the Parkhotel was a bold and successful architectonic concept. Architects Henkel and Schreieck built a new tower next to the old one: the new structure is round, conical, 23 m high and black. The old building is square, considerably lower and white. The new Ibis Hotel at Innsbruck station is a blend of hotel and office buildings and bus station. Standing on stilts six metres high, the 125 m long structure by architects Manzl, Ritsch and Sandner forms a sort of bridge structure across the bus depot. An open escalator leads up to the floors housing the hotel and offices. The façade of the building features glass panels alternating with metal, the result is exciting and unusual. Innsbruck‘s first design hotel, The Penz, forms the conclusion of Dominique Perrault‘s Rathaus Gallery on the Steinerstrasse side. For further information on The Penz see page 15. The Hotel Schwarzer Adler in Kitzbühel has won the 2008 state prize for architecture for its spectacular rooftop pool by the tatanka architects. The 500 sq. m. “Kitz Summer Spa“ on the roof of the hotel provides a unique 360° panoramic view of the old town and the surrounding mountain world of Kitzbühel. Other examples of unusual hotels in the Tirol are the Lanserhof near Innsbruck, the Aqua Dome and the Waldklause in the Ötztal, the MOHR Life in Lermoos, the Cube in Biberwier, the Rundeck, Skihotel Galzig, the Aparthotel Anton and Lux Alpinae in St. Anton am Arlberg, as well as the little Pension Perfler in Sillian.
