SPITZ HOTEL goes ART!

The new SPITZ HOTEL is based on a worldwide unique project. The first culture and style hotel has been created. With a view to 2009 – Linz as the European cultural capital – cooperation has been undertaken with the most important cultural centres in Linz.

Every floor in the new SPITZ HOTEL is meant to be orientated on an art- or cultural centre in Linz. This form of cooperation is unique worldwide. What was and is important is cooperation with regional artists, such as ISA Stein (architecture, and overall conception), Andreas Thaler (table objects, lounge couch), Ernst Mitterndorfer (lamps and lighting installations), as well as the numerous students at the Kunstuniversität Linz, which were able to realise the “Design It” project on the entire fourth floor. Various themes give their accent on the floors. Accessories, such as the writing desks, lamps and lighting installations and pictures that were designed especially for the new SPITZ HOTEL were also coordinated with the themes.

Suitable for the new hotel, a logo and a website were created together with “The jungen Wilden”, a young Linz advertising agency. Clear in typeface and statement.
But SPITZ should also appear as a brand – the “trademark” is the star from the Spitz logo that has been used for years. This star is used throughout the hotel in various details. 

The aim was to create a unique, individual experience for the guest – not only for visitors to Linz but also for the inhabitants of the city.
