Description:

Pühajärve Hotel and Spa complex is situated in southern Estonia at a former manor house scene with a prominent park, at one of the most beautiful lakes of Estonia. Reconstruction of the resort complex has been an ongoing development project, gradually evolving from a winter sports seasonal hotel into a place that motivates visitors to come there all year long. The functions of the complex include accommodation, a conference center, a restaurant, a pub, bars, gym, wellness services and bowling. The Spa building is a major contribution to this versatile program. The highlight of the complex is the spa deck. It is elevated onto an old horse stable foundation and provides a full panorama view of the park surrounding the building. The extraordinary view to the seasonally changing landscape is framed by the structure of wooden columns and beams.
