CUBE NassfeldThe CUBE Nassfeld is an autonomous fun factory within
Carinthia, a piece of urban lifestyle transplanted to the countryside. The solid, cube-shaped building is enclosed by a steel and glass construction which, by night, is lit in different colors. The hotel opened its doors in 2004 and has since been hard to miss. Rough materials such as concrete and steel dominate the no-nonsense design concept and lend strength and weight to the building, while the use of glass conveys a sense of light and openness. And the interior is just as extravagant. The rooms, which are very functional, all come with a “showroom” where sports equipment can be stored. And the buzz continues outside of the rooms with large public zones on all floors, designed to encourage communication.

The hotel entices with its classical architectural design coupled with clear and modern lines. The symmetric design language with black, white and silver colors creates a minimalist and exclusive ambiance. The hotel’s wedge-shaped layout ensures that all suites enjoy equally great views of the lake. Glass, metal and plaster are the dominating material at the Aenea. Soft carpets, comfortable leather chairs and upholstery and warm light lend the hotel a warm and intimate feeling. The rooms feature
