Basis of the Riva Hotel in Constance is a former art nouveau villa dating from 1909. An L-shaped new building embraces the restored building, so forming a successful contrast between tradition and modernity. The interior is matched to suit: painted tapestries, black tables and chairs in the glass Sealounge are in marked contrast to the wooded surrounds.
The hotel accomodates 42 rooms and three suites over four floors. Recreation and relaxation are offered in the Riva Spa with Zen Gardens and a swimming pool on the roof.
For the puristically designed bathrooms the owners decided on the straight contours of the Axor Citterio collection.
