A real highlight is the “Schlossblic ksuite”, where guests can enjoy a view of Schloss Neuschwanste in from the freestanding Luv bathtub. “We were impressed straight away both by how the Luv bathtub looks and feels” This is the verdict of hotelier Simon Schlachter.
“As a high-quality free-standing bathtub, it blends perfectly into the living space and creates a perfect feel-good experience for our guests,”
Designed by Cecilie Manz, the bathtub’s surprisingly velvety feel sets it apart from the crowd. The material DuraSolid® allows for an amazingly thin bathtub rim and a spacious interior.
