„The hotel naturally emerges from the landscape, creating a beautiful view of the valley,” the team said.

„The hotel’s stone base is inspired by the mountain interior and has a rough and colorful look.”

The first two levels of the building were clad in a natural red, hard stone, which fell over the hill on the site.

The first three levels contain the hotel’s private rooms and have a simple white exterior that contrasts with the basement.

The lower levels, which house the lobby, restaurant, bar and garden, run perpendicular to the site’s cobble-stone street, while the upper level runs parallel.

As guests enter the hotel’s spacious lobby, the same red stone has been carried over onto the floors, walls and bar elements.
