Description |
|
The Ramada Innsbruck
Tivoli hotel occupies a site on
Olympiastrasse across from the Olympic
ice stadium. With a
basement, ground floor and 12 upper
storeys it is one of the taller
buildings in Innsbruck. The basement has
an underground car park with 58 parking
spaces, building-services rooms for
heating, ventilation and
air-conditioning, as well as emergency
power, electric and battery rooms.
![]() The developers
Strauss & Partners say of the
building that, "... Its
innovative architectural design
and modern technology combined
with its ideal location make the
structure a genuine highlight of
the region. The roughly
160 rooms meet even the highest
of standards. .... The unusual
design of this modern building
lends it the appearance of an
immense ship, with a spacious
breakfast restaurant located on
its upper deck, together with a
lovely observation terrace that
affords panoramic views of the
surrounding mountains."
![]() The World of
PORR website gives an insight
into the construction of the
building. "... In
the middle of May 2010
construction work began on
the Hotel Tivoli project.
Because of the slanting
structure it was necessary
to secure the construction
pit in the west section with
the help of tension piles.
Furthermore, floor slabs
with a thickness of up to
one metre were needed.
Excavated material from the
construction pit had to be
secured with shotcrete on
the side facing the road.
The majority of the building
shell was built using
in-situ concrete; only the
flights of stairs were
prefabricated and delivered
to the site."
