This cellar has some unique features, one of which is especially noteworthy. This massive 2,000 bottles wine cellar was originally planned as a long term storage space, on top of the bar, with access through the hotel’s central staircase. For daily use, two vertical extensions were added down towards the bar to allow access to the bottles from the ground floor. With the help of an innovative air circulation system, the conditioned air inside the wine cellar circulates between the ground floor and first floor. The bar is hooded by the wine cellar and this idea is reflected in the design as a U-shaped, 7 meter high glass cellar façade clad with wine bottles. A true edifice for wine culture.
