Next to Ringkøbing Fjord you’ll find Hotel Fjordgaarden from 1967. In the past, it catered mainly to business travellers associated with nearby industries, but that all changed when the hotel was refurbished in 2020 – not least thanks to the addition of a new luxury spa.
– With the refurbishment, we were very interested in attracting a new segment of customers to the hotel. We want our guests to feel that Fjordgaarden is worth the journey in itself, and the super-elegant spa has definitely helped with this, says Fjordgaarden’s manager Brian Madsen.
Luxurious style – exclusive details
Brian Madsen describes how every detail of the spa was carefully considered to create a calm aesthetic that reflects the West Jutland location – an area known for its preference for understatement rather than ostentation. The devotion to simple elegance is evident in details ranging from the large, rustic tiles and wood panelling to the use of sand and lyme grass, echoing the coastal landscape outside:
– The refurbishment was done with a strong focus on aesthetics, which was the top priority throughout. We want to give visitors an experience of sheer luxury and elegance, and this is of course reflected in the design and in the materials used. And we’re happy to say that guest responses have been very favourable from day one.
“Invisible” linear drains provide a stylish finish
Line drains from Unidrain are fitted in various facilities in the spa. The hotel chose the HighLine Custom drain, which suits the spa’s fashionable look. The solution creates a discreet drain covered almost invisibly by custom-cut tiles that match the surrounding floor:
– We’re very pleased that our drains were chosen to help set the tone in the spa. The Highline Custom drain, where the drain is covered by the same tile used for the rest of the floor, creates an elegant finish. You barely notice there is a drain at all, says our Area Sales Manager Anders W. Christensen.
The subtly elegant drain is installed around both pools, in the sauna, and in the shower areas. The lounge area is also equipped with the stylish linear drains, which have been placed with great care:
– Based on drawings of all the rooms, we made recommendations on the length and number of drains required. We also provided advice on where to place them for best results. The focus was on making form and function come together. For example, we carefully considered water drainage needs to make sure the drains had the right capacity. In addition, we identified the slope that made it possible to cut the tiles elegantly for a solid, seamless look. This creates a solid, seamless look that’s extremely stylish, concludes Anders W. Christensen.
