HOTEL GOLDENE ROSE

IN DINKELSBÜHL

„Der Gast soll das Gebäude It is perhaps the most beautiful town in Germany and is
under preservation order: In the romantic setting of Din-
intensiv erleben können.“ kelsbühl, the noa team designed a five-star hotel. The
starting point for the project was the Goldene Rose inn,
Lukas Rungger, Gründer von noa which has existed since the 15 century. It has been pos-
th
sible to complement the prominently located hotel with
four adjacent buildings and refurbish it.

O nce upon a time, the five architectural monuments in the central
Franconian district town housed different functions: while the Gol-
dene Rose has always accommodated travellers, its neighbours served
as inns, breweries, warehouses, cinema theatres, dance halls, casinos
and residential buildings. No wonder, because the former free imperial
city is an important tourist destination on the Romantic Road due to its
exceptionally well-preserved late-medieval townscape once even en-
joyed by Queen Victoria. The aim was to create an ensemble with a uni-
form habitus and flowing spatial transitions, taking into account the re-
spective building structures and the existing different storey levels. The
building cubatures, which were brought together by means of openings,
serve as a zoning aid for the newly inserted functions such as bar, lobby,
staff area, breakfast room and guest rooms. Immersed in beige and grey-
Grundriss Erdgeschoss • Ground floor plan ish tones, the new interior forms a design bracket and refers to the iden-
tity of the building structure with old guild signs, grainy plaster and dark
exposed timber framing. Projections and niches resulting from the exi-
sting building were converted into seating, especially in the lobby. Nu-
merous textiles, whitewashed oak floors and mirrored surfaces bring
brightness. Not only the bar counter and various ceiling beams in the re-
staurant area are mirrored, but so are also wall segments in the total of
43 guest rooms and 14 studios. A linear design language and industrial-
chic luminaires produce exciting contrasts, which are enhanced in the
rooms with sofa swings, cubic bathroom-furniture configurations and ta-
pestries that serve as a bed headboard and a rug at the same time, with
truly instagrammable spots. An unusual overnight accommodation op-
tion is the so-called “cinema suite”, a box suspended in the open space
of the former dance hall and current event room, which allows a unique
cinema experience through a panoramic window while comfortably
lying in bed. Things get truly spectacular on the roof of the five-star hotel,
where – hidden under an open roof construction – a ten-metres-long out-
door infinity pool with a view of the Gothic cathedral beckons which has
