Modern Classics: Bauhaus-Inspired Hotels

“Born in early-20th-century Germany, the Bauhaus school was an art and architecture movement that emphasised clean lines and the harmony between function and design that would turn it into a byword for modernist elegance. Continuing in those modernist traditions, these five hotels continue to embrace the Bauhaus spirit.

Aspen Meadows Resort, Aspen, USA
————————————-

The Rocky Mountains of Colorado provide the stunning backdrop to the Aspen Meadows Resort, where the Bauhaus influence can be felt throughout. The resort was designed by Bauhaus architect Herbert Bayer, who intended that visitors to the resort should experience the ‘total environment’ that was a driving force behind the movement’s approach to design. Floor-to-ceiling windows help link the beautiful natural surroundings with the modernist interiors of each room, reminding you of the relationship between mind, body and the natural world.

Hotel Antumalal, Villarrica, Chile
—————————————

From its origins in Germany, the influence of the Bauhaus school was soon felt worldwide, arriving on the shores of Lake Villarrica in Chile in the 1940s with the Hotel Antumalal. With its large windows that give views across the lake, wooden walls and simple-yet-elegant furniture, this boutique hotel continues the Bauhaus tradition where design and function operate in harmony. Relax in the spa area, the sauna, or on the terrace of the Restaurant Parque Antumalal, which is not only one of the area’s culinary landmarks, but also offers yet more impressive views of the surroundings.
