The gateway to Scandinavia: On August 1, 2005, Radisson SAS opened a four-star business hotel with 251 rooms and suites in the heart of the traditional Hanseatic trading city, which is more than 800 years old. In architectural terms, the nine-storey new building represents a modern response to the sublime monumentality of the old city.
The upper stories have an impressive view of the harbor and the bay on the Baltic coast. Guests can choose between three different room designs – Urban, Chili and Ocean – which provide a special experience and were developed by prominent Swedish interior designer Christian Lundwall.
In combination with different room sizes, they ensure the variety which accommodates the individual visions of demanding guests. A ballroom and seven conference rooms, obviously equipped with the most modern of communications technology, are something special in the local region. The generously laid-out OSTeRIA restaurant, with its Italian-inspired cuisine, the Amber Bar and the 400 sqm wellness and fitness area create islands of recreation among the bustle of modern life.
Feuring Projektmanagement Ltd. was commissioned by Zweite Kröpliner-Tor-Passage Ltd. to supply project management services for the new building and the planning phase, particularly for FF&E (Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment) and SOE (Small Operating Equipment) in this organizationally demanding project. It was not until May 2005 that it was certain that the hotel would be operated by Radisson SAS; since each operator has its own requirements for fixtures and equipment, the necessary adaptations and modifications had to be made under huge time pressure. Maintaining stability in the already delicate construction of fixtures and equipment planning, budget management, suppliers’ deadlines and quality assurance under these circumstances required flexibility, experience and a capacity to react. We are proud that we rose to these particular challenges.
