The project is part of a larger and more complex series of works which involves the recovery of the spaces on the ground and basement floors of the Grand Hotel Terme di Comano, in order to transform it into a new wellness center and, thanks to its position in the center of the park spa and for its innovative solutions, one of the most interesting wellness and personal care facilities in Northern Italy (Trentino Alto Adige Region).
The new wellness center includes a SPA and wellness area that complete the facilities already present in the structure for skin care, aesthetics, fitness, integrated with the nutrition school and the restaurant dedicated to local products.
Among the merits of the Grand Hotel there is undoubtedly the position, in the center of a park exclusively pedestrian, by the Sarca river, characterized by a garden of native essences, surrounded, moreover, at close distance by large wooded areas. The intervention “opened” the internal spaces to allow the visual connection between the new wellness center and the park.
From the internal pools of the wellness center you can enjoy the light and the external panorama and, through a connecting channel, pass from the internal swimming pool to the external, where the mirrors of hot water create a suggestive image and suggest an ideal "dialogue" with the Sarca river.
