Austria's first architecture-led hotel is characterised by clear lines and exclusive materials. With the use of simple, natural materials, fused with modern art, the duo of architects Carlo Baumschlager and Dietmar Eberle have set a new standard in design. Upon entering the foyer, guests come upon a colossal pink bucket, filled second by second with steady drops of water from the ceiling. The themes manifested in this sculpture, named Irritation im Sekundentakt (Irritation by the Second) by Dornbirn artist Wolfgang Flatz, are seamlessly picked out and continued by the waterfall on the outer wall of the hotel restaurant. The hotel comprises a total of 98 guest rooms and offers a wide range of amenities, including 24-hour reception and check out, a hotel safe, a currency exchange facility, lift access and a hairdressing salon. In addition to this, there is a café, a bar, conference facilities, WLAN Internet access, room and laundry services and a garage on site.

The hotel is located in the heart of the garden city of Dornbirn in Vorarlberg. It is just a few minutes from this conference and business hotel to Dornbirn's historic city centre with its old market square, the landmark Rotes Haus (Red House) and its many museums, both historical and contemporary.

The exceptional cuisine on offer at the hotel restaurant, Im Ersten, owes its excellent reputation to the masterful culinary know-how of the head chef and his expert team. Special emphasis is placed on the selection of regional and seasonal produce to guarantee variety on the menu. These culinary specialities are best accompanied by a selection of fine Austrian wines from the country's best wine-growing regions. The creativity and continuity of the hotel team was awarded with 1 toque (14 points) by Gault Millau in 2009.
