Reiters Reserve Premium Suites | BEHF Architects

The new suites were inspired by the hotel owners' philosophy of creating a self-contained retreat area. The design's defining values are honesty, innovation, and modesty. The use of genuine, natural materials of the highest quality and sustainability was selected to achieve this goal.

The spatial composition is dominated by restraint and minimalism, focusing on the essentials, as well as on efficiency and a willingness to create true qualities. The suites are constructed from sustainably harvested solid wood from nearby regions, clay plaster, and natural stone. They were created by joining smaller rooms together to create functional and spacious suites that can be used flexibly. Movable partitions and variable elements enable the room to be adapted to guests' actual needs, such as a tub in the living room, a retractable workspace, a sofa for sleeping or a hidden kitchenette. The bedroom can be opened or closed to the living area by means of floor-to-ceiling pivot doors.

The suite is accessed through a semi-transparent anteroom that separates it from the rest of the space. A bench and a quiet fountain serve as a barrier between the lively social environment outside and a more secluded area inside the suite. Guests can further enhance their well-being through options such as indulging in a Japanese soaking tub or utilizing various sports equipment, in addition to enjoying breathtaking views from the spacious suite itself.

The first two suites were completed in March 2023, and currently, the design is being rolled out to ten more suites.

The project was honored with the "Die schönsten Restaurants, Hotels & Bars 2024" award in the "Hotel" category and the Audience Prize of the HEINZE Architecture Award 2023.  

The inspiration for the new suites at Reiters Reserve Supreme is derived from the philosophy of the hotel’s owners, who built the retreat area as a self-contained unit. Defining values of the design are honesty, innovation, and modesty. Genuine, natural materials of the highest quality and sustainability were selected for this purpose.

The spatial composition is dominated by restraint and minimalism, focusing on the essentials, as well as on efficiency and a willingness to create true qualities. The new suites are made from sustainably harvested solid wood from nearby regions, clay plaster and natural stone. They emerged by joining smaller rooms together to create functional and spacy suites for a flexible use. Various movable partitions and variable elements enable to fit the room to guests´ actual needs such as a tub in the living room, a retractable workspace, a sofa to fall asleep on (by BEHF and Wittmann) or a hidden kitchenette. Floor-to-ceiling pivot doors allow the bedroom to be opened/closed to the living area as required.

The entry into the suite is through a semi-transparent anteroom that separates it from the rest of the space. A bench and a quiet fountain act as a barrier between the lively social environment outside from a more secluded area inside a suite. In addition to enjoying breathtaking views from the spacious suite itself, guests can further enhance their well-being through options such as indulging in a Japanese soaking tub or utilizing various sports equipment.
