The Mountain Oasis spa landscape encompasses an area of 5,000 m² and is located on a site set behind the Tschuggen Grand Hotel at the foot of the Arosa Mountains. It has been built into the mountain slope and linked with the hotel via a glass bridge. Bot ta’s philosophy of achieving a harmo-nious connection with the surrounding natural environment continues into the interior. The inside of the Mountain Sauna has been clad using weathered pinewoods lef t in their natural state, and a fireplace has been integrated into the large sauna heater.


The Mountain Oasis is characterised by its perfect symmetries and by the very highest at tention to detail, as evidenced here in the shower area. Sweeping walls and benches in the steam bath fashioned in pure Duke White Granite ref lect the new streamlined aesthetics of alpine wellness and beauty spa culture.

The task which Lord Norman Foster set himself was the complete replace-ment of later additions to the legendary Dolder Grand Hotel by two new wings. These wings, the Spa Wing and the Golf Wing, nestle up against the fully restored main building providing a seamless link between the past and the future. Spa expert Sylvia Sepielli has very much taken “classic tra-ditions with a techno beat” as her watchword in continuing this symbiosis between tradition and modernity into the spa area. Steam pots, newly de-signed aromatic steam columns are on hand to greet guests in the foyers to the Ladies’ und Gentlemen’s Spa. The spa rooms themselves each extend over an area of 100 m² and in the centre provide an opportunit y to enjoy a relaxing footbath on river pebbles in the warm water of the Japanese Kotatsu.

The dynamic forms and countless light reflections of the Cats-Eye mosaics set into the walls of the Ladies’ and Gentlemen’s Spa and into the showers of the Aqua Zone generate an atmosphere of perfect relaxation.

TREATMENTS 1 Treatment lounge, 2 Treatment rooms, 3 Deluxe spa suites


The ceremonial laying of the foundation stone at the Dolder Grand Hotel on 4 February 2005 signified the launch of the decisive phase of one of the largest private hotel projects ever to take place in Switzerland. Enclosed within the foundation stone, which was laid at the deepest point of the Spa Wing, are the historic building plans by Jacques Gros, the new design drawn up by Foster + Par tners, newspaper ar ticles from the “Neue Zürcher Zeitung” and the “Tagesanzeiger” dated 7 May 1899 and 13 May 1899 respectively and an old room key.

SPA 1 Spa reception, 2 Shop, 3 Hairstyling, 4 Meditation room: mirrored candlelit mosaic dome, 5 Library, 6 Spa café, 7 Aqua Zone with pool and 8 Mixed textile area with Pebble Loungers, 9 Chill -out room with hammock chairs, 10 Genlemen’s changing room, 11 Gentlemen‘s Spa, 12 Ladies’ changing room, 13 Ladies’ Spa, 14 Workout

21

Guests seeking an exclusive spa experience have the oppor tunit y to re -serve one of the two private spa suites separately where their every need will be catered to in the form of such facilities as a hydrotherapy tub for couples, a mud bath and a panoramic sauna.


23

The wellness area in the Spa Wing extends over a total area of 4,000 m² and represents a par ticular highlight for all those seeking enjoyment and relaxation. I t also sets new standards in terms of architecture and the di-versit y of the facilities and services it of fers. The wellness area combines European and Swiss treatments with traditional Japanese influences, all set within a per fect environment.


25

Pebble Loungers have been used to create a Japanese st yle relaxation area of fering guests the chance to recline in fine heated pebbles which adapt to the body’s contours and radiate a soothing and deeply relaxing warmth. An idea originated by spa expert Sylvia Sepielli and equally exper t ly implemented by KLAFS on behalf of the Dolder Grand.

Shipyard Meyer Werf t, Papenburg, Germany

Idea & design concept The initial idea was to move beyond the concept of a holiday at sea in the form of a classical cruise with all the traditions and conventions this entailed. The aim was to use the first sea-going “club resor t” of its kind to stage holiday trips which were both active and casual, something which was completely new on the cruise market. The success which this form of holiday was to enjoy began in 1996 with the ship now known as the AIDAcara and has since proved unstoppable.

Dimensions Total area: 2,000 m². Interior: sauna and steam bath landscape featuring a cool -down area and ice wall, quiet area with SONNENWIESE® tanning system, private spa suite with whirlpool, SANARIUM®, daybed, treatment area providing massages, cosmetic treatments, manicure, hairdresser, solaria, spa café. Outside: large sun deck with adventure pool landscape and retractable glass roof, pool bar.

The most per fect location for a “spa on board” is probably directly above the bridge. The cruise ship AIDAdiva is the first to devote this prominent position to a wellness area. It enables the guests using the facilities of the sauna, steam bath, treatment and quiet rooms to enjoy unrestricted and magnificent sea views.

Around 4,300 m³ of ear th were excavated to embed the wellness area into the landscape and render it invisible from the outside. The result is a spa which of fers a real feel -good factor and has won the coveted “iF design award” for the way in which its well conceived architecture encompasses the bathing facilities.

Dimensions Total area: 1,700 m² thermal area. Glass steam bath with free -standing steam chimney and bench tiled in red and black. Glassed brine bath tiled in green and black, featuring a “graduation house” which supplies the air with brine from the depths of Bad Salzuflen.

The bathing room almost appears to flow directly through the transparent steam and brine bath, which is located beneath the gallery. The architects have based this “metamorphosis” on a number of significant design criteria: Transparent and softly flowing transitions, warm materials, strong hues of colour and special light ef fects characterise the appearance of the bathing hall and lend the room its own unmistakeable character.

The facilities at the Friedrichsbad in Baden-Baden have been renovated in the classical manner and have been firing the enthusiasm of spa guests from around the globe since July 2007. Visitors can expect a journey back through time into the antique world of fine bathing culture. The bathing guest passes through a defined circuit of 17 stations contained within the facilit y. The focal point is the large, circular exercise pool set in a magnificent cupola construction 7.5 metres in height, this being the only time when women and men bathe together. The hot spring waters are used to generate steam in the three historic steam rooms. These waters are drawn directly from the Baden-Baden thermal spring and are fed over water cascades to produce intensive steam created by nature itself and without any need to deploy conventional evaporation technology. The individual massage benches are made of natural stone and were designed to be height-adjustable during the course of the renovation works in order to allow therapists to adopt the ideal working position in each case.

The hotel Madlein is a pioneer amongst alpine hotels. Günther Aloys was the first visionary to have the courage to commission the creation of a whole new design world. His new conceptual design was conceived out of the necessit y to combine several buildings to form a unified whole. The interior and outdoor zones of the Madlein Beauty Spa and Zen Garden are divided only by glass, creating an area in which man and nature can interact. Wood, glass and stone are the only materials used.
