A Critical View: Park Hotel Hall in Tyrol

Executed with great commitment and sensibility by the architects Henke and Schreieck, Vienna, the revitalization of the historical substance of the Park Hotel has led to the re-creation of a major work by Lois Welzenbacher. A fascinating new set of relationships – a study in black and white – has been established between the Park Hotel, the former spa building by Hans Illmer (1930) and a new hotel tower, also designed by Henke and Schreieck. The ensemble is well worth seeing and may stimulate new thoughts on form and style.
