Europe’s largest wooden hotel Built in just 14 months

The 510 rooms of the Vienna House Easy by Wyndham are spread over three wings of the building with a central main section. The six stairwells made of reinforced concrete act as stiffening cores, providing the building with stability.

Five storeys in timber construction were laid on the reinforced concrete ground floor – each with 100 rooms per storey. Walls and ceiling panels are made of cross-laminated wood panels, which are still partially visible in the finished hotel and contribute to a pleasant atmosphere.

During the planning phase, the plumbing company Heiz-Hofstätter sought the fastest solutions for the supply and drainage pipes. It found what it was looking for at Geberit. The rooms are heated and cooled using compact room air conditioning units, which, like the sanitary installations, were connected using Geberit FlowFit.

“For the installation of the Geberit FlowFit system, we only need two different press jaws for all eight pipe dimensions. In this way, we saved ourselves thousands of jaw changes,” says Florian Schmallegger, Project Manager at Heiz-Hofstätter.
