The project

Mühltalhof is a family hotel and restaurant now in its sixth generation. The chef Philip Rachinger wanted a larger, better kitchen, and AllesWirdGut used that brief to recast the whole place as a collage of distinct rooms that still read as one.

The kitchen moved into the centre of the restaurant and the spa on the garden floor was enlarged and turned towards the garden and the riverside swimming area. A 20-metre counter of local chlorite gneiss guides guests through the day, from reception and breakfast to the drinks bar, the kitchen pass and the chef’s tables.

The old rooms each keep their own character. The taproom still feels like a historic inn, the glazed veranda sits close to the water, and the fireplace room, the fine-dining space, has black wall panelling and a coffered ceiling facing both the river and the open-fire kitchen.
