The Lounge at Bad Gastein

Overview

Two spaces, restored and reimagined inside a long-abandoned hotel in the Austrian alps. In the lounge — a richly layered take on a classic library — vintage-sourced furniture and found objects mix with plush textures and hand-finished patterns, all set against the backdrop of restored historic detailing. In the adjacent spa, curved marble walls shape intimate steam pockets, enveloping the body in cool stone and soft mist. The handpainted wallpaper in the attached bathroom echoes the lounge’s palette, bridging old-world glamour with sensual modern retreat.
