The site is located southwest of the old city wall, a few minutes to go from the city centre of St. Veit an der Glan. The ground level is falling 4 metres from north to southeast.
The two heights of the ground level work well with two cubic buildings, which take two functions: a servicewing (reception, bar, a seminar area, restaurant, wellness) and a hotelroom wing (110 rooms).

Foyer - the two-storey service wing, which accommodates the functions of foyer reception, bar, seminar area, kitchen, restaurant, wellness and show nursery, is located on the northern edge of the grounds near the city.

The hotel room wing is a five storey high building which is overlapping the service wing. The rooms are east – west orientated and can be reached by a central corridor.
The rooms themselves are optimally illuminated due to their east-west orientation. The irregular window pattern of the facade of the bed wing dissolves the five-storey and monotony of the building and gives the rooms their individual character.
The service wing opens up to south east with a two storey high void – which offers open space for the restaurant and view relationships with other parts of the building.
