A great hotel having external beauty and inner values..

The former Hotel Katharina was turned into the region’s first design hotel with an ambience of wellbeing. ‘Ma vida’ is Spanish and means an attitude towards life: to derive pleasure from food, drink and celebrating, to enjoy life. The architecture is in line with the hotel’s philosophy. The use of traditional materials and the clear-cut lines are noticeable throughout the hotel. The Interior Designer Niki Szilagyi from Munich had already gathered experience while working in the team of famous architect, Matteo Thun, and had participated in hotel projects such as the Vigilius Mountain Resort in South Tyrol and the Side in Hamburg.

There are plenty of reasons why the hotel is a member of the design hotels group. It's a holistic feel-good concept which places people at the centre of care and attention. It will be restored you to your very personal sense of balance. Choose rather than feel compelled to do what you want. It is all possible thanks to flawless infrastructure and superbly qualified staff who recognize and respect your very own individuality.
