material products. This has fuelled an increased
demand for travel across the board – global travel is
growing faster than global GDP, and luxury travel is
growing even more rapidly as consumers seek more
rewarding and luxurious experiences when they
travel.

A parallel trend is the ever-increasing importance of

design as a driving force in the hospitality sector.
Over the past twenty years, hotel owners and
developers have invested heavily in engaging the
services of designers to help differentiate their
properties from the competition. Hotel groups have
entire departments dedicated to the interior design
and architecture of their properties.

Hotels are having to adapt their offer to accommodate

the changing demographics of luxury. Today’s luxury
traveller might just as easily be a twenty-somthing
tech entrepreneur as a fifty-something CEO. They
might well be Chinese, Russian or from the Middle
East. And it has taken a long time, but hotels are
finally waking up to the different needs and
expectations of female business travellers. There is
still, and always will be, a place for the old school
luxury of a Claridges or a Connaught, but there is
also an ever-increasing diversity of hotels catering
for the needs of wealthy guests.

The range of luxury hotels in this GROHE “Water

Enjoyment” book perfectly illustrates many of the
trends that typify this new paradigm.

At luxury resorts, privacy is a key consideration. At

the W Punta Mita, for example, private balconies,
plunge pools and sun decks allow guests to bathe
under the stars in privacy.

Sustainability is another key driver. New hotels

such as Alila Villas Uluwatu in Bali, designed by

The luxury lifestyle and design hotel in southern
Holland invites guests to have an extraordinary
experience. An old Franciscan monastery from
1903 was completely renovated and rebuilt. The
designers added a lot of light and additional space
to the old, dark masonry, creating an atmosphere
that combines old and new. The design also
incorporates the religious context, mixing it with a
modern ambience. "Heavenly beds, demonic
events, angelic staff and a food sanctuary" enchant
guests in a luxurious manner. The bathrooms in this
extraordinary hotel are also hallowed and

2 The St. Regis Langkawi luxury resort is situated in
the 99-island archipelago of Langkawi, southeast
Asia’s first UNESCO geopark. The resort is
composed of resplendent architecture, landscape
and interior design. The hotel, which opened in
April 2016, is embedded amidst the wild fauna and
flora of the rainforest on the sparkling Andaman
Sea. Sporting top-class modern design and Asian
chic, it has set new standards in the luxury hotel
segment. “Expanding on the concept of a paradise
found and refined, the design team sought to
provide a resort to strengthen Langkawi’s position
in the luxury tourist market. Our compelling
architectural vision for The St. Regis Langkawi
defines the entire resort experience as a journey of
discovery,” said Tom Lindblom, Principal Architect
at Gensler.

The St. Regis Langkawi is the first all-suite luxury

resort in the archipelago, offering four private over-
water villas and 85 luxuriously appointed suites.
Each suite is distinct in design with bold accent
hues and imaginative paintings by esteemed local
artists. The opulent bathrooms are luxuriously fitted
with GROHE Lineare collection, which emanates
pure relaxation. The coveted GROHE Rainshower®
Allure shower enhances guests’ experience.

CAP VERMELL 1
The five-star Park Hyatt Majorca luxury hotel was
the first Hyatt to open in Europe, in 2016. DSA
Architects designed the 125 luxurious rooms and 17
suites to look like a Majorcan mountain village. Both
the materials and the colours were chosen carefully,
enabling the resort to blend perfectly into the
landscape of the Balearic island. Water winds its

HOUSE IN
1
LUXEMBOURG
The private villa from 1928 was thoroughly renovated
and rebuilt within a period of four months. The project
posed a challenge to all of the participants because
parts of the building were in very poor condition.
EPAD architects made drastic but gentle changes.
The owner wanted the first and second storeys to be
linked to make the living areas brighter and to create
more room. The truss was converted completely and
thermally insulated. Parts of the oak flooring were
repaired and it was re-laid in some rooms. The interior
design has clear lines and forgoes unnecessary
elements. As a result, the extravagant furniture draws
attention and acts as an eye-catcher in the rooms.

The GROHE products in the bathrooms are the first

choice for people looking for something truly
extraordinary. The superbly designed GROHE
Rainshower® F-Series showerhead is the core of the
bathroom. The Grohtherm Cube Thermostat is not
only extremely stylish due to its geometrical design,
but also equipped with the most innovative
technology on the market, the GROHE TurboStat®.
The latter enhances the sensitivity of the thermo
element and makes showering even safer. The
GROHE Euphoria Cube shower system with
integrated Aquadimmer function also ensures
maximum water enjoyment.

CAIXAFORUM
The CaixaForum, the social and cultural centre of “la
Caixa” Banking Foundation, commands a view of
the “Paseo del Prado”, one of the principal streets in
the heart of Madrid. The seven-story building is a
new meeting point and houses an auditorium,
museum and conference centre. With the adjacent
vertical garden, it is an urban magnet.

The architecture expresses a spectacular transfor­

mation: the building’s bricks were part of a power
station that stood there previously. The Swiss architects
Herzog & de Meuron managed to combine old and
new in a fascinating way, creating contrasts on the
exterior and inside the building. In the lower part of
the building, the extravagance of the edifice is
reflected in the taps in the washrooms. The GROHE
Contrapress ensures that water is only used when
needed.

The five-star hotel is situated right next to Playa de

the first GROHE Experience Suite. With 100 square

The highlight of the suite is the Dream Bath, equipped

with first-class GROHE products, and its exclusive
interior and exterior spa area with a view of the
Balearic Sea. The best technologies come together in
this suite, creating a paradise of relaxation and
refreshment for both body and soul. The supremely
innovative GROHE Allure F-digital faucet collection
with coloured LED ring mixes the water temperature
and flow without delay. The exclusive GROHE
F-digital Deluxe shower has chromotherapy light
modules and side showers for relaxing lower back
massages, and guests can control the music
programme themselves using their smartphone.
There are different steam modules, as in a Turkish
bath. The temperature of the water and length of the
shower can be regulated via a touchscreen unit.

HOUSE
The private residential building is situated in the
beautiful eastern part of Madrid. The upper floors
afford a fantastic view of the mountains and a
panorama of the city. The house is based on a
completely square floor plan of 12 x 12 square metres.
The renowned architect Alberto Campo Baeza
arranged the spatial structure in a simple helicoidal
movement. In addition, some of the rooms intersect
resulting in a spiral connection of three diagonal
spaces. This explains the guiding principle of the
house’s floor plan: "Two plus two plus two equals
much more than six."

Water is enjoyed to the maximum in the outdoor

bathtub, in the pool and in the bathrooms. The
GROHE Europlus basin mixer fits divinely into the
expressive forms of the building’s floor plan. The
GROHE Euphoria shower has a perfect form and its
handle virtually flows into the showerhead. With the
SprayDimmer, it saves a lot of water while providing
constant water enjoyment.

MALMÖ LIVE

Malmö Live, designed by international Schmidt

Hammer Lassen architects, is situated at the
southern tip of Sweden. It is not only a great hotel
containing 444 guestrooms, but also houses a
concert hall. The combination makes it a social and
cultural meeting point for all generations. At the
beginning of 2016, it received the Swedish Building
of the Year award, and as a green building received
LEED Platinum certification. At the end of 2016 the
building was the category winner for mixed-use
building at the World Architecture Festival (GROHE
is the founder sponsor of this event).

In keeping with the resource-conserving motto, the

GROHE Eurosmart Cosmopolitan single-lever basin

Fast reaction times play an important role in football –

and in washrooms too. In the German Football
Museum, touchless technology is exploited to the
full. The Euroseco and Eurosmart CE faucets on the
washbasins react directly to every movement the
user makes thanks to infrared control. Water flows
only when it is needed. As reliable as the latest

Mexico City’s Federal District. It has served as the
headquarters for Mexico’s largest bank, BBVA
Bancomer, since the beginning of 2016. Rising 771
feet, it is Mexico’s second-tallest skyscraper. “The
form of this building is based on a rethinking of
conventional approaches to office space,” says
Richard Rogers of Stirk Harbour + Partners, who
worked together with the world-famous Mexican
architects LEGORRETA® on the project. “The highly
sustainable design incorporates a façade which draws
on the heritage of Mexican architecture.”

Ultra-modern architecture meets innovative

technology in the bathrooms. The prize-winning
GROHE Essence series features prominently in the
office building’s sanitary facilities. Hygiene is
particularly important in public buildings. For this
reason, the GROHE Essence E, which can be operated
without hand contact due to infrared technology, was
used. GROHE EcoJoy® conserves water despite high
user fluctuation, and thanks to GROHE StarLight®
technology, the elegant water faucet does not lose its
irresistible lustre even after many years.

1 The building has 78,000 square metres

of office space for BBVA Bancomer.
It is situated right at Chapultepec Park.
2 The BBVA Tower was awarded a Gold LEED

opened a golf course the same year. Today, 1,100
houses can be found there, offering security and

community. It has a spa and health club and many
other amenities for its residents.

Sophisticated living for bon viveurs is nourished

by a carefully selected and wide-ranging palette
of GROHE products in the bathrooms and suites.
The round and angular shapes of the perfected

is as flexible as the resident.

BANYAN TREE
SPA AT THE
WESTIN HOTEL
1 Banyan Tree Spa Shanghai, located in The Westin
Bund Center Shanghai, has received numerous
accolades for its unique Chinese Five Elements
philosophy, spa treatments and designer interiors.
Banyan Tree Spa Shanghai spans 1,000 square
metres, displaying a post-modern Chinese influence
wherein the Five Elements are translated into a
variety of refreshing ideas. Like the tropical and
sacred tree from which it took its name, the Banyan
Tree Spa offers guests a sanctuary for the senses –
a place for physical, mental and spiritual renewal.
To achieve this, the spa focuses on a non-clinical
and holistic approach based on traditional Asian
healing therapies. It emphasises on a “high-touch,
low-tech” approach that celebrates the human touch
and the use of natural herbs and spices.

GROHE Rainshower® SmartControl promotes

endless relaxation and enjoyment in the Spa. The
oversized luxury shower, which offers guests
different stream pattern options – GROHE PureRain,
GROHE Rain O² and even a massage function for
the head and shoulders – caresses the body with
warm water. It is very easy to use thanks to the
three operating buttons that can be turned or
pressed to select different modes. On account of
the integrated GROHE TurboStat® technology, the
thermo element is extremely sensitive and the heat
can be regulated more safely, constantly and
quickly than ever before.

1 “The spa perfectly re-introduced an exotic

blend of time-honoured Asian healing
therapies and beauty remedies,“ writes
the Shanghai Morning Post.
2 Banyan Tree Spa pioneered the tropical
garden spa concept with its Asian
therapies and focus on spiritual, mental and
physical harmony.
3 The ultimate spa-goer’s dream, the spa
incorporates shower and steam facilities, a
bathtub for two, a spacious relaxation area,
two massage beds and a private toilet.
4 The GROHE Rainshower® SmartControl
head shower has a TrioMassage function
enabling guests to massage their head and
shoulders. Different spray patterns and
strengths can be selected comfortably
using the control pad, obviating the need to
adjust the showerhead. Maximum
showering pleasure with a natural design.

1 The two modern, three-storey terrace units of
Paterson 3 are like a tranquil island in the heart of
pulsating Singapore. The project received the
International Architecture Award, one of the most
distinguished architectural prizes, in 2016. AR43
Architects played with the elements of wood, glass
and metal as they developed this ultra-modern,
Asian-influenced, cutting-edge design.

The bathrooms stand in stark contrast to the fast

pace of the city, with GROHE products forming a
calm oasis. The Allure series is characterised by
angular rosettes out of which cylindrical shapes
seem to grow. The Allure series and Paterson 3
itself are perfectly proportioned and both boast a
minimalist beauty.

1 The roof opens in the middle enabling extra

light to enter all the way to the ground floor.
This is a fantastic way of brightening up the
private rooms.
2 In Paterson 3, the architects continually
brought exterior and interior elements into
contact.
3 The GROHE Allure basin mixer, equipped
with state-of-the-art technology, ensures
the utmost enjoyment in the bathroom.

a peaceful, tropical living environment in the

Ibaraki Residence is a single-family house in the
kanagawa prefecture on the east coast of Japan.
The structure of the building consists mainly of steel
and wood. Naoi Architecture & Design Office opted
for a hut-like form to create a link to the natural
surroundings. The design is meant to underscore a
cultivated, simple, true life and is in harmony with
the green environment.

The GROHE Minta collection is perfect for the warm

yet minimalist kitchen design. The slender, clear
forms are devoid of playful elements and a real eye-
catcher in the modern kitchen.

FRAME HOUSE
1 The architects of the four-member Peak Studio
collaboration, whose office is located south of
Tokyo, create extraordinary projects with their own
distinctive style. Frame House was created for
people who seek simplicity and like to commune
with Nature. Due to the frame, the walls are only
loosely defined and can be changed depending on
requirements. As a result, the house has a very
bright and airy character. Curtains and other
separating elements can be attached to the frame,
as well as flowers or a hammock. It’s a house that
proposes a particular framing of life.

The GROHE Minta C-spout blends in with the

minimalist design. Like the interior design in general,
it dispenses with unnecessary elements and
impresses with its clear, elegant lines. The flexibility
of the wooden frames is mimicked by the water
faucet, which is maximally exploited due to the
unparalleled swivel range.

many top international awards, is situated on the
spectacular island of Santorini in Cyclades. The
exclusive 21-room boutique hotel stands on a cliff
300 metres above the Aegean Sea. It combines
classical Greek architecture, marked by organic
forms, clear lines and pure white, with luxurious
elements. Due to the hotel’s minimalistic design,
the impressive landscape is emphasised.

In the designer bathroom, guests can refresh

themselves in the spacious rain showers. For the
hotel’s VIP bathroom, a wall-mounted GROHE
Allure faucet was used. This regal faucet ennobles
the designer bathroom and is ideal for very special
occasions.
