The Emser Spa Hotel is located in the immediate vicinity of the Emser Therme, directly on the banks of the Lahn. The 4-star hotel, with 6 floors, comprises 84 double rooms, seminar rooms, a restaurant and, as a highlight, a SkyLounge on the top floor. A connecting corridor leads hotel guests directly from the hotel to the thermal baths.
The building is a pure solid construction made of reinforced concrete.
To realize the generous, almost column-free rooms on the ground floor, many interior walls on the 1st and 2nd floors are designed as wall-like beams. The few necessary supports on the ground floor are slender, highly stressed steel composite supports.
The upper floors 1 to 4 have the same load-bearing system, consisting of reinforced concrete flat slabs that rest on the reinforced concrete columns and walls in a point-and-line manner. The 5th floor (top floor) is very small compared to the other upper floors. This is where the rooftop bar and terrace are located.
The ceiling above the ground floor is also a reinforced concrete flat slab, but it covers a much larger area than the upper floors. It also serves in part as a supporting ceiling.
Due to the poor soil conditions in the area of the hotel, soil improvement was carried out using CMC columns, so that the hotel could be founded on an elastically bedded base plate.
