Description
The Penz Hotel occupies a site in Adolf-Pichler-Plaz beside the Rathaus Galerie. The ATP website says that it has, "... Two panoramic elevators on the North facade - which afford a direct view of the mountains of the Nordkette – serve 96 rooms on 4 floors, as well as the fifth floor cigar-club, bar, 130-seat restaurant and west-facing roof-terrace." They add that, "... The timelessly elegant interior of The Penz forms an atmospheric antithesis to the technical and cool architectural language of the Town Hall of Innsbruck and the bustling activity in the shopping mall Rathaus Galerie. Due to the stringent material and colour concept featuring dark wood, stone and anthracite grey metal the hotel conveys timelessness and calm. A computer supported artificial light concept guarantees an inviting and comfortable ambiance."
