Place of use: Hotel , Series: Concept Plus
The national cultural monument and the Construction of the Year 2014 - the Castle Hotel Vígľaš - most likely holds the Slovakian record in the number of supplied RAKO stair-shaped pieces used in one building. The historic representative entry staircase did not contain two equally wide steps, therefore, each floor tile had to be cut to size individually. RAKO staircases and tiles, mainly from the Rock series, covered more than 3,600 square metres of floor space, and wall tiles another 2,000 square metres. The adjoining bathrooms of the hotel rooms were laid with tiles from the Concept series. At the Hotel Wellness Centre - Queen Barbara Spa, named after King Zikmund's wife, RAKO tiles had to meet the safety requirements for slip resistance in a wet environment, and maintain stony style too. The former ruin of the castle was converted to the four-star congress Grand Vígľaš hotel gradually over several years of generous renovation and renovation. „The Vígľaš Castle was a unique project not only in the Slovak Republic, but also throughout Central Europe, and it most likely will not be repeated in the near future,“ says Ing. Zsolt Papp from PROART Studio, who is a co-architect of architectural solution, together with Ing. Arch. Alice Tichá.
