tour the rogner bad blumau spa, designed by friedensreich hundertwasser

located in the heart of austria’s styria thermal region, the rogner bad blumau is not only a luxury spa hotel, but a complete artwork, designed by the austrian architect friedensreich hundertwasser.

the design of the thermal park, which originally opened in 1997, boasts colorful patchwork façades and green roofs, without a single straight line in sight. arranged like a city with various districts, the indoor ring-shaped spa is the center, with the diverse range of accommodation, swimming, bathing and restaurant areas branching out into the open landscape.
