Hotel in the thermal spa town of Bad Windsheim

A green hotel with a wow effect

Take a classic spa town, pair it with a sustainable hotel and an exciting design, and there you have it: the perfect mix!

“Distinctive hotel design acts like a beacon for towns and their surrounding region.” (Sebastian Blancke, Founder of OOW)

“Visiting a hotel can be such a delightful experience. Our hotel designs celebrate this immersion in another world.”

Hotel in Bad Windsheim, interior

In the world-famous thermal spa town of Bad Windsheim, we have planned a 190-bed new build for Leonardo Hotels. The first wow effect of the four-star-plus hotel begins on the outside: the roof is completely planted and curves downwards, creating a green façade facing the inner courtyard. This iconic visual language runs through the entire design: the building is octagonal, and each of the rooms gets a triangular feel-good balcony – which puts the icing on the cake.

By using the clever octagonal floor plan, we create a highly efficient form: we make full use of the plot, lose none of the usable space, and at the same time create a striking entrance. Here, design and function are combined to perfection.

When we design a hotel, we always think about how we ourselves would like to spend a holiday. Part of that is: we want to sleep well! Thanks to a smart arrangement of the rooms and the enclosed inner courtyard, the rooms are wonderfully quiet. And they are very generously proportioned, as are the windows.

Bad Windsheim is world-famous for its thermal spa, which attracts over a million visitors every year. The hotel is right next door, and through a protected connecting walkway hotel guests can simply walk across – we call it the “bathrobe walkway”.

  • Visualisation of a multi-storey hotel with beige rendered facade, triangular balconies and a densely planted wall, guests with luggage outside

    Visualisation of the new build: the planted roof curves downwards and becomes a green facade to the inner courtyard.

  • Two round crops showing floor plans: left lobby, restaurant and planted courtyard, right a room level around the same courtyard

    Plans of ground floor and room level: the octagonal form makes full use of the plot without losing usable space.

  • Four round crops with room plans tinted pink, each obliquely shaped, showing beds, bathroom and dimension lines

    Room plans in four layouts: despite the angled geometry the rooms are very generously proportioned.

  • Visualisation of the glazed hotel entrance framed by densely planted curving wall surfaces, flowering perennials and arriving guests in front

    The entrance sits between the green walls: from here the bathrobe alley leads across to the thermal spa, under cover.
