The Crystal VAYA Unique hotel is a unique gem at an altitude of 2,000 metres in the Tyrolean Ötztal. Two building complexes are connected here by a glass bridge, the radiance of which is multiplied by the sunlight.

We spoke to architect Andreas Gruber about his first hospitality project, which has been thoroughly thought through!
