Spa and suite - the changing hotel room

A sauna in the hotel room offers guests a retreat and wellness in private.

Cocooning, security, privacy - these are not just trendy terms and buzzwords, they are also desires of many hotel guests. The answer to this desire, where one can retreat to one's own space, can mean integrating a wide range of wellness and spa solutions into the hotel room. Spa en suite - sauna and wellness in your own hotel room rather than in the wellness area - is the new trend, leading to a changing hotel room.

Hotel rooms are changing. Time in the room is no longer limited to a quick shower between exploring the city and using the spa - the room becomes its own wellness area. Equipped with a sauna, spacious shower or free-standing bathtub, rooms offer everything a relaxing retreat needs.

In addition to a sauna on the balcony or terrace, there are also numerous possibilities for integrating a small but fine sauna into a hotel room. A custom-made sauna from KLAFS can be individually adapted to the room conditions. Corners, alcoves and sloping ceilings can be used to optimum effect and transformed into a place of well-being.

Another option for private saunas in hotel rooms, even with limited space, is the extendable S1 SAUNA by KLAFS. As a high-quality piece of furniture, the S1 fits perfectly into the interiors of exclusive hotel suites. The space in the room is cleverly utilised; when the sauna is closed and not in use, its depth of 60 cm is no bigger than that of an ordinary wall cabinet and the sauna takes up very little space. Within 20 seconds and at the touch of a button, the S1 SAUNA is extended into a fully functional sauna.

Michael Bauer, Key Account Manager at KLAFS, is in daily conversation with hoteliers who are helping to shape the future of the hotel industry. "In future, individual suites and rooms will be taken to the next level in terms of equipment by installing a sauna cabin. This will create small, fine private spas," explains the experienced wellness expert. In this way, hotels position themselves broadly for the most diverse customer needs.

"In addition to a private sauna, a clearly defined wellness suite often offers guests a small steam bath, steam shower or whirlpool," says Michael Bauer. "To create even more opportunities for health-promoting relaxation, we recommend additional equipment for the sauna room, such as an infrared chair or the SANARIUM®, which enables five different climate zones in one sauna." A sauna offers guests particular benefits and is characterised by multifunctionality.

Making the most of small spaces and creating a wellness oasis at the touch of a button - the KLAFS S1 SAUNA makes it possible at the Miramonti Boutique Hotel in South Tyrol. Here, modern architecture meets breathtaking mountain views, which can also be enjoyed from the sauna.
