Wellness and Spa Hotel Beatus
IDEA & CONCEPTION
Wellbeing, mindfulness, and the conscious act of slowing down are becoming increasingly important in our daily lives – and with that, so too is the ritual of taking time out in saunas and spas. Wellness is far from a modern invention; in fact, it was an essential part of daily life as far back as Roman times, over 2,000 years ago.
At the BEATUS Wellness & Spa Hotel in the Bernese Oberland, the spa area was originally designed in a traditional Roman style. But times have changed. The Roman aesthetic had become outdated and no longer reflected the spirit of the region or the expectations of today’s guests. A fresh approach was needed – one that brought nature back into the space and embraced a more contemporary vision of wellness.
AS MUCH AS NECESSARY, AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE
Hotel BEATUS had just seven weeks to complete the renovation – a tight timeframe that demanded a reliable partner known for both speed and precision. KLAFS, having already proven their expertise during a previous renovation, was the natural choice. The aim was to make as few structural changes as possible, yet enough to create the feeling of a completely new, high-quality wellness experience – all while guests were away on holiday. The core structure was to remain intact, with existing saunas and steam baths carefully integrated into the refreshed design.
EXTENSIVE OFFER THANKS TO CLEVER SPATIAL CONCEPT
Where there was once a spa area with a sauna , steam bath, Kneipp treatments, footbath, and Roman-style showers, there is now a compact yet versatile, luxurious yet understated wellness facility with sensual lighting experiences that leaves nothing to be desired. KLAFS has also expanded the offerings with two additional steam baths, another footbath, an experience shower, and the impressive STALAGMIT ice fountain.
