HOTEL ALEXANDER

Hotel Alexander

Project: Hotel Alexander
Category: Hotel
Where: Noordwijk – Netherlands
Line: System Double Service
Partner: Horeca Innovatie Groep

 

The Hotel Alexander in Noordwijk; a seaside resort on the Dutch North Sea coast, just a few minutes’ walk from the beach. It offers its guests luxuriously furnished rooms with their own balcony and wonderful views, as well as culinary delights of the highest class – from hearty breakfasts, delectable brunches and healthy lunches to exotic cocktails and a delicious dinner. The restaurant DYLANS on the ground floor of the hotel is known for its porterhouse steaks and fillets in salt crust with top quality meats sourced locally from farms with the highest animal welfare standards, cooked to perfection in a charcoal oven.
Lynn’s Lounge in the basement of the family hotel incorporates a bar, winter garden, cozy seating area and fireplace which can also be rented privately and can comfortably accommodate up to 200 guests for events.

The requirement

  • As part of the renovation works, the entire kitchen was to be replaced, including all cooking appliances, requiring a very high-quality design solution.
  • As the available space was limited, the new kitchen needed to achieve high output from a relatively small footprint.
  • The quality standards for the food are very high, the new facilities needed to cater for all day dining for guests and up to 200 additional covers to be accommodated when Lynn’s Lounge is hosting events.
  • An extremely tight schedule had to be adhered to from the initial design, through to ordering and delivery.

The solution

  • In collaboration with the Horeca Innovatie Groep, Ambach supplied an island from the System Double Service range. This island is the perfect solution for anyone who needs to produce large quantities of food from a very small space.
  • The cooking suite, measured 3.3 x 1.0 Meters and had a total connected load of almost 82 kW, including 6 high power induction zones, 1 griddle plate, 2 highly efficient deep fryers with cloud-enabled electronic control and 1 salamander.
  • The induction ranges deliver 7 kW of power per cooking zone via dual coil technology, meaning large quantities can be heated up quickly.
  • The 2 deep fryers, each with a usable capacity of around 19 liters, achieve energy efficiency values of up to 95.8% thanks to the intuitive electronic control.
  • The bespoke one-piece stainless steel work-top with rounded corners includes the Ambach Omega Sandwich Structure within the construction at 5mm overall thickness.  The basins for the fryers and the griddle plate were welded seamlessly to the stainless-steel cover.
  • The tight delivery deadline within 8 weeks following receipt of the final approved desig

HOTEL MANDELHOF

Hotel Mandelhof

Project: Hotel Mandelhof
Category: Hotel
Where: Cornaiano, South Tirol
Line:System 700
Partner: Niederbacher GmbH

 

Located directly on the South Tyrolean Wine Route, in the rolling hills above Bolzano, the Hotel Mandelhof offers a wonderful starting point for hiking or cycling tours, trips to the swimming lakes or simply a relaxing day in 6,150 square meters of greenery with an outdoor pool and wellness area.

Guests can choose between thirty modern, comfortable rooms and suites, and their physical well-being is also taken care of: The breakfast buffet ensures a perfect start to the day with fresh juices, homemade jams, and sweet and savoury delicacies. Italian pasta dishes and traditional specialties are offered for a small appetite at lunchtime, and the five-course menu with a choice of options in the evening offers a tour of South Tyrolean cuisine completed.
 

The requirement

  • The entire kitchen area was redesigned with a focus on optimizing logistics, routes, ergonomics, performance, and technology.
  • More space and a pleasant and efficient working environment should be created for employees.
  • A new Island had to fit exactly to the customer’s requirements in terms of work processes and room layout.
  • The quality of the food and service should be increased as part of an optimal kitchen layout.
  • The visual appearance also has to be right – guests at the Mandelhof are welcome to take a look into the kitchen at any time.

The solution

  • The decision was made in favour of Ambach because the company is known for high-quality cooking technology and is a local manufacturer.
  • In order to expand the existing space, several walls were broken through, and the former boiler room was relocated. This created space for, among other things, a warehouse with cold cells, a preparation line, a dishwashing line and the main kitchen. Ambach tailored the new cooking block precisely to the needs of the Hotel Mandelhof, so that it fits optimally into the new kitchen layout with short distances and efficient work processes. From both sides you can access the passport, storage, and combi steamer in just a few steps.
  • The island has a starter line with induction, pasta cooker and bratt-pan as well as a starter line with grill, deep fryer and induction. The kitchen is designed for three to four cooks, but depending on how busy the restaurant is, it can also easily be served by one cook.
  • A cooking block from the System 700 line was installed, supplemented with System 850 modules, with a one-piece hygienic top.
  • Equipped with the Ambach Electronic Control and the digital thermostats from Ambach, the temperature can be adjusted to an accuracy of up to 1°C, all processes and recipes can be displayed precisely, Electronic Control also enables all relevant usage and consumption data to be read out.
  • The Electronic Control enables the monitoring of the device status and energy consumption of all connected devices with the option for optimization if, for example, cooking devices are switched on at high temperatures all day. Any device failure is detected immediately and can be remedied by the technician before any disruption to operations occurs.
  • Another major advantage of electronic control is the smart regulation of the entire circuit: the system intelligently distributes the power to all connected consumers so that power peaks are reduced. The chefs don’t notice this optimization because it runs in the background. You can use all devices as usual.

ONE & ONLY PORTONOVI

Project : One&Only Portonovi
Category : Hotel
Where : Montenegro
Line : Chef 850
Partner : Gastro-Tim

In May 2021 Kerzner International Group opened in Montenegro, the first European super luxury resort of One&Only Portonovi. Positioned at the entrance of Boka Bay, a fjord-like idyll on Montenegro’s Adriatic Sea, One&Only Portonovi is the jewel of Europe’s most fashionable new riviera. In addition to the hotel complex consisting of 113 rooms, suites and swimming pools, the resort has also a residential district of sumptuous villas, each with a private beach and pool. Perfectly in balance with the chic, waterfront location, World-class dining is offered by the à la carte restaurant ‘Sabia’, which bears the signature of Giorgio Locatelli, offering a refined and contemporary menu. In addition, the guest has opportunities to appraise the choices offered by ‘Tapasake Club’, Japanese restaurant, and ‘La Veranda’ with its authentic Montenegrin cuisine.

The requirement

  • High-performance kitchens were needed to meet the needs of the various restaurants: 116 indoor and 84 outdoor seats for ‘La Veranda’, 81 indoor, 64 outdoor and another 100 covered by the pool for ‘Tapasake Club’. Finally, another 15 seats inside and 28 outside for the bar.
  • Versatility – It was essential to combine the needs of very different kitchens by integrating multipurpose equipment.

The solution

  • Ambach proposed the Chef 850 line, capable of combining the demand for high performance
    and customization with exclusive finishes and unique details.
  • As required, to meet the different needs, Ambach integrated some special equipment: from pasta cookers to induction ranges, from multifunction bratt-pan to griddles and fryers, to name just a few.
  • In the kitchens of restaurant ‘Tapasake’, the modules of both islands are connected utilising the exclusive Ambach junction system, providing a waterproof junction between appliances and work-tables.
  • The unique solid and robust hygienic tops are able to withstand sudden changes in temperature and adapt perfectly to any type of configuration.

  • Thanks to the smooth surfaces, rounded edges and neutral bases in full H3 standards, Ambach kitchens have also proved to be the optimal choice in terms of ease of cleaning and hygiene

  • For the design and construction of the kitchens, Ambach worked together with the consulting company Gastro-Tim. Work began in 2019 and ended at the beginning of 2021. The total area occupied by the kitchens is more than 2000 square meters and also includes open kitchens with live cooking stations.

  • The communication between the partners involved was excellent. The overall result met the required delivery times and achieved the high level of customer expectations in terms of the quality and performance of both the Ambach product and the punctuality in the installation.

The hotel – Gasthof Steinegger *** is an ideal destination for a totally relaxing holiday and is in the perfect position to explore the beautiful, natural surroundings of the local countryside.   Located in Appiano on the Wine Road, one of the most important wine area in South Tyrol, it offers an exclusive panorama from the terracing at an altitude of 600 meters.

The hotel – Gasthof Steinegger *** is much more than a hotel. The owneing family Eisenstecken delights guests with typical dishes of South Tyrolean cuisine combined with a wide choice of appetizers from Italian culinary culture.  The delicacies are offered inside the restaurant and on the panoramic terrace, in the “Bauernstube” and finally in the shade of the portico during the summer months.

The requirement

  • The property needed to renovate and expand the old kitchen with more innovative and high performance equipment.

ADLER LODGE RITTER

ADLER LODGE RITTEN

Project: Adler Lodge Ritten
Category: Hotel & Restaurant
Where: Renon – South Tirol – Italy
Line: System 850
Partner: Niederbacher & Prostahl

Adler Lodge Ritten is located in the enchanted landscape of Renon, in South Tyrol, which has always been a place of refuge for those in search of tranquillity and relaxation.

The structure consists of twenty chalets located on the edge of the forest, around the central body or the pond, and twenty junior suites, located on two side wings, with spectacular views that extend up to the mountains of the Dolomites. Everywhere, sustainable natural materials and furnishings create a continuum between inside and outside for maximum guest comfort.

The Adler Lodge Ritten is also a haven for the palate. The chef Hannes Pignater and his team only use high quality local products to transform them into a unique blend of Mediterranean tradition and Alpine menu.

The brief

  • The restaurant of the Adler Lodge Ritten offers space for around 100 people. The kitchen is available all day: from the rich breakfast buffet with homemade specialties to lunch on the terrace and dinner with gourmet dishes that are served “under the stars”.
  • For the new open kitchen, the collaboration with an interior designer was essential to achieve a perfect integration between the cooking block and the restaurant areas.
  • A crane was required to transport and position the cooking island in the kitchen.


The solution

  • Head chef Pignater, who already worked at the ADLER Lodge ALPE (Alpe di Siusi), was very familiar with the Ambach quality and the excellent service of the South Tyrolean company Niederbacher.
  • Pignater has again confirmed the choice of Ambach for the Adler Lodge Ritten. In particular, together with Niederbacher & Prostahl, a tailor-made open kitchen from the System 850 line was realized in a special version with base units in hygiene standard H3 and tailor-made tabletops in black granite.
  • The result combines perfect quality, functionality, performance and design.
  • The project lasted from May 2018 to June 2019. Niederbacher supervised the execution of the work, including assembly and support. Responsible for the implementation of the project: Felix Andergassen from Niederbacher.

Mama Shelter

MAMA SHELTER

Project: Mama Shelter
Category: Hotel
Where: Shoreditch – London – UK
Line: System 850
Partner: Humble Arnold Associates – Foodservice consultant – Shine Foodservice – Kitchen contractor

Mama Shelter, London can be defined as a real ‘urban retreat’ in the heart of East London. Featuring avant-garde design, the hotel houses 194 bedrooms, two Japanese-style karaoke rooms, a gym, an indoor/outdoor courtyard as well as a bar and a restaurant with 100 seats that offers an informal menu based on local and traditional dishes.

The brief

  • For the restaurant kitchen, it was necessary to consider structural restrictions whilst retaining the conceptual design detail that also featured a supporting column in the middle of the space.
  • The suite included both gas and electrical appliances, connected by a pre-installed electrical MCB, gas rail and water connections. A discreet service panel was incorporated into the bottom of the suite, so the main connection points and electrical panel had to be perfectly aligned to facilitate installation and maintenance.
  • From the restaurant, the kitchen is visible on two sides and is a key focal point, so needed to work hard, look good and be easy to keep clean.


The solution

  • Ambach proved to be the best choice to offer a custom solution that took into account the structural and logistical constraints of the project.  System 850 offered the flexibility and performance that met the challenging brief.
  • Access to the room that formed the kitchen was difficult. For this reason, prior to delivery, Ambach incorporated a frame and customized protection solution onto the cooking-suite to facilitate delivery and positioning into the kitchen.
  • The stainless steel plinth, base modules and one-piece top forming the upper part of the System 850 suite, all surround the supporting column, designed and executed with continuity and precision.
  • Keith Elkington Transport undertook the delicate handling and delivery, whilst Shine Foodservice carried out the final positioning and installation under the guidance of senior project manager Mike Coxford.
  • The overall result was a great success for Mama Shelter thanks to the teamwork throughout the project, designed by Humble Arnold and installed by Shine Foodservice.
