Restaurant terrace redesigned

The awning systems "pergola stretch" and "markilux markant" are now providing generous protection against both the sun and rain at the Hotel Löwen in Austria

The Hotel Löwen is situated in the middle of an impressive mountain landscape in the outstretched Montafon valley in Austria. In 2022, the management once again invested in the expansion of the establishment and that included furnishing the restaurant terrace with bespoke weather protection. They chose awning systems from markilux to do the job. Since then, guests have been able to spend more time enjoying themselves on the terrace throughout the summer.

The Hotel Löwen is a four-star superior hotel located in the Austrian mountain village of Schruns in Vorarlberg. Last year, the outdoor terrace adjacent to the hotel was one of the aspects of the hotel that was given a make-over. All-year weather protection was to make it more attractive for guests and visitors. Since then, a "pergola stretch" awning system from manufacturer markilux has been shading the terrace. A smaller, separate area has also been equipped with the free-standing "markilux markant" system.

More than 200 square metres of weather protection
"We developed the shading concept in the autumn of 2021 together with a local specialist dealer as well as the architects and interior designers responsible for the rest of the expansion of the hotel," explains Jan Kattenbeck, head of "markilux project". In July 2022, the local specialists then started by installing the pergola system measuring around 165 square metres and consisting of five separate awning units - a task that took them just one week. At the end of 2022, it took them just two days to set up the free-standing system - measuring over 50 square metres. Naturally, the awning specialist's experienced and highly competent service team provided support during the installation of both systems.

Enjoying the space under the awnings
According to Jan Kattenbeck, the cooperation of a qualified planning team with a local specialist dealer was one of the customer's main priorities along with the high quality of both the product and the design. Equally important was their wish to protect an area large enough to seat a total of around 100 outdoor guests from rain and sun during the summer season. To this end, several vertical roller blinds were also installed with both awning systems and on the front of one window. These can simply be lowered when the sun is low in the sky and, together with the LED light integrated in the awning, create a pleasant atmosphere in the evening. "This wonderful feeling of being outdoors encourages the guests to linger longer and is now very much a part of the sophisticated experience concept the Hotel Löwen is aiming to achieve. Along with smooth conclusion of the project, that represents success for both us and the customer," says a satisfied Jan Kattenbeck.
