Ifen Hotel
Hirschegg / Austria
1
The re-opened Travel Charme Ifen Hotel is situated at an altitude of
1,111 metres between Austria and Bavaria at the foot of the Hoher
Ifen mountain in Hirschegg in the Kleinwalsertal. The choice of location
was no coincidence: as early as 1936, the Hanover-based architect
Hans Kirchhoff commissioned the construction of the “Ifen Hotel”
on a rocky ledge and the hotel soon became a refuge for prominent
people of the day. The overhanging round façade is characteristic of
the building’s special architecture and offers the guest an impressive
view of the mountain landscape and the Kleinwalsertal. The Austrian
architect Prof. Hermann Kaufmann, winner of the Global Award
for Sustainable Architecture 2007, created the round building, which
was inspired by the unadorned style of the 1930s, also adding a
modern section.
