HOTEL MEZDÌ LODGE

HOTEL MEZDÌ ADLER LODGE

Project : Hotel Mezdì Adler Lodge
Category : Five-star Hotel
Where : Alpe di Siusi, South Tyrol – Italy
Line : Ambach Exclusive Range Double Service
Partner : Niederbacher & Hotec Engineering

Adler Mountain Lodge is an exclusive hotel located on the Alpe di Siusi, the most extensive plateau in the Dolomites, UNESCO world heritage site and place of unrivalled beauty.
Deep in an unspoilt natural setting at an altitude of 1,800 metres, the hotel offers a spectacular view of the majestic Dolomite peaks and is a true haven from frenetic daily life, aiming at total relaxation.

Built in wood throughout, both inside and out, Adler Mountain Lodge offers a truly unique atmosphere for accommodating a maximum of 60 guests. Nothing is left to chance. In the hotel restaurant guests can enjoy delicious dishes from an à la carte menu based on regional specialities.

The requirement

  • The hotel needed a top-quality kitchen that was extremely rugged, functional, compact and with design features.
  • Focus on design in order to create an aesthetically pleasing environment in the kitchen was very important. From the seating area guests can see everything going on in the kitchen and watch the chefs at work. For this reason nothing could be overlooked.
  • The washing area had to be visually separate from the rest of the kitchen in fact, to avoid customers’ prying eyes.
  • The bar area also had to stand out with its own totally unique style. Adler Mountain Lodge rejected the classic hotel bar, preferring instead a space in line with the style of the entire building, almost like a “sitting room” in the home where guests can move around freely, with all the quality of a five-star hotel.
  • The greatest challenge lay specifically in building the range, which had to be a perfect fusion of industrial production and artisanal craftsmanship. A high-quality kitchen crafted right down to the smallest details, attractive and simple to use.


The solution

  • Adler Mountain Lodge opted for the Ambach Exclusive Range Double Service line, a range with a modern and elegant style with finely crafted detailing. From the coated control panel with gilded knobs to the cold rooms clad in copper plates, the granite worktops to the double ceiling with extractor and the rail on the range, nothing was left to chance. These systems mean that the kitchen is not only interesting in technical terms but also an extremely sophisticated solution from an aesthetic point of view.
  • Work lasted for two years, from 2012 to 2014 and, despite the logistic difficulties at an altitude of 1800 metres, everything was carried out according to maximum cooperation and synergy among the various groups involved. Hotec Engineering, affiliate of the contracting company and consultancy Niederbacher, monitored the entire process, from the initial design to the logistics in the warehouse and organisation of workflow.
  • The executive chef Hannes Pignater also took an active part in developing the project, giving his invaluable contribution in seeking out the best solutions for meeting needs by combining function and design.
  • The end result is an exclusive design project that fully meets the needs of the client, the Sanoner family, owners of the hotel.

EXCELSIOR HOTEL GALLIA

EXCELSIOR

HOTEL GALLIA

Project : Excelsior Hotel Gallia
Category : 5 stars Hotel
Where : Milan, Italy
Line : Ambach Chef 850 – System 900 – System 900bf
Partner : Grandimpianti Ali
Consultant : GWP ltd.

The Excelsior Hotel Gallia is a luxurious Art Nouveau hotel erected in 1932. Owned by Katara Hospitality and run by the US multinational Starwood Hotels, the hotel has regained its original splendor after a meticulous, multi-million-dollar restoration that added a modern flair to the hotel’s Belle Époquearchitecture and sophisticated 1930s ambiance.

The Need

  • The Excelsior Gallia was looking for an update and entrusted the renovation work to the famous Milan-based architect Marco Piva. The goal was to create a setting that evoked the history of excellence of the city of Milan in a space that would highlight the values of architecture, design, tradition and fashion— the embodiment of style, elegance and sophistication in hospitality for its international guests. The project concerned both the historic main building and the more modern wing of the hotel.
  • The cuisine offered by hotel would also need to meet the high expectation of its guests. Excelsior Gallia seeks to provide the best in traditional Italian cuisine with a modern touch, and to ensure dining excellence, it takes kitchens that are both reliable and well designed down to the last detail.
  • There were threekitchens to be redone. On the top floor, there is the kitchen that serves the roof-top restaurant and cocktail bar, Terrazza Gallia, which is run by the duo Enrico and Roberto Cerea, chefs who share three Michelin stars. On the ground floor, there is the kitchen of the Gallia Restaurant, which is an ideal setting for breakfast, business lunches, private dinners, and other events. Finally, there is the kitchen of the sophisticated tavern, the place for a more intimate lunch or dinner.


The Solution
 

  • The Excelsior Hotel Gallia designed by the leading UK based consultant GWP ltd., turned to Grandimpianti, the contracting firm of the Ali Group that provides a full range of services from project layout to post-sale support, to oversee the project.
  • In order to meet the high quality standards required, Grandimpianti went with Ambach kitchens, which ensure the highest level of flexibility, innovation and durability.
  • The System 900 line was the best choice for the high-volume needs of the main and ground-floor kitchens. For the main kitchen, version BF of the System 900 line has been installed. This version features suspended units that facilitate cleaning and ensure the utmost in hygiene. For the top-floor kitchen, Grandimpianti recommended Chef 850, the modular line that offers great flexibility in configuration. Being extremely easy to assemble, it is the solution best suited to installations and on-site welding in such an elevated location.
  • It was a complex project, in terms of both planning and execution, and took two and a half years, from 2012 to May 2015. Grandimpianti and Ambach worked together to adapt the concept and the layout of the kitchen to the needs of the hotel in terms both of space and of menu type and execution, while also adapting the project to meet the requirements of Italian laws and regulations. The end result was a layout custom designed for Excelsior Gallia to enhance both ergonomics and the kitchen’s workflow.
  • It was an example of extraordinary teamwork that satisfied the client in every way, and it would not have been possible without the hard work and great dedication of everyone on the Ambach-Grandimpianti team.

CAFE WALDECK

CAFE WALDECK

Project : Café Waldeck
Category : Restaurant
Where : Aichelberg Baden-Württemberg,Germany
Line : Ambach System 900
Partner : Heilemann Großküchentechnik, Leonberg

Café Waldeck is an award-winning restaurant that has a warm, family atmosphere. Located in Aichelberg, in southern Germany, it is very well known and popular for organising parties and events.

The owners Evelyne and Peter Moll and their family delight guests with the genuine flavours of regional specialities. Café Waldeck can accommodate up to 160 covers inside and a further 80 on the very attractive terrace.

The assignment

  • Café Waldeck was looking for a modular design kitchen to offer a wide and varied à la carte menu every day.
  • The kitchen is situated on the first floor and therefore the individual parts of the range had to be transported in the lift and then assembled directly on site.
  • The space available in the kitchen is limited, requiring a compact yet high-performance range. There are many covers to serve and the restaurant has to maintain high-quality standards.
  • An award-winning restaurant must maintain the highest standards of hygiene at all times. For this reason the restaurant’s kitchen had to be designed to make daily cleaning as easy as possible.
  • The kitchen also had to be powerful in order to ensure maximum performance levels and avoid any possible energy supply outage, particularly at the busiest times.

The solution

  • With the invaluable advice from the design firm Heilemann Großküchentechnik Leonberg, Café Waldeck opted for the Ambach System 900 line, a guarantee of ruggedness, efficiency and productivity.
  • The double service version installed has dual controls so it can be used form both sides of the range, improving management of the work flow in the kitchen.
  • 4 induction hobs and 4 gas burners are integrated in the range, which together ensure top cooking performances without wastage and loss.
  • A fryer, two bain-maries, a compound steel cooking surface and a pass-through oven for preparing various types of roasts in the German culinary tradition were also installed in the kitchen.
  • Thanks to the one-piece hygienic top and the H3 lower hygienic cabinets, the System 900 block was designed to facilitate cleaning and maintain 100% hygiene.
  • Performance is on a par with good looks and design. Thanks to the artisan build and crafting of every detail, Ambach fully met the expectations of everyone, from the client to the dealer.

SAVOY

SAVOY

Project : Savoy professional hospitality college
Category : Cookery school
Where : Meran, (BZ) Italy
Line : Ambach System 700 & System 900
Partner : Niederbacher GmbH

The Savoy, a professional hospitality college in Merano, is a centre of excellence in training the future professionals of the catering industry.

Under the watchful eye of over 60 teachers, the Savoy buzzes with passion and dedication from the 700 students engaged on courses including those for chefs, sommeliers, waiting staff and hospitality and tourism managers.

The school teaches everything required for a successful career in catering and hospitality, not only practical sessions in the kitchen and restaurant but also modules teaching teamwork and interpersonal skills.

 

The requirement

  • The Savoy needed a kitchen for the new educational facility. This was to be built alongside the existing building which had become too small to house the growing number of students.
  • The kitchen in the old facility had gas appliances from the Ambach System 900, Ecoline and Compact Plus lines. Appliances were needed for the new kitchen that had electronic controls and state-of-the-art technology; offering significant savings in energy consumption.
  • The school was not just seeking a simple supplier of kitchen equipment; it needed a partner to undertake the project from start to finish and supply all the appliances needed for the students: cooking ranges, washing and refrigeration systems and blast chillers, as well as kitchen extractors, ventilation systems and all the elements for the self-service area.
  • The new facility presented a number of challenges. Not only did the building have distinctive sloping walls but for logistical reasons the training spaces, such as the kitchens and the classrooms had to be located on different floors.
  • The Savoy needed highly functional, yet aesthetically pleasing products – the new kitchen had to be robust and high performance enough to stand up to the rigours of the students.

 

The solution

  • Some 14 years on, the Savoy decided to ask Niederbacher, the company that installed the original appliances for the kitchen in the old school. Niederbacher was a reliable choice, the Savoy knew they could guarantee results were experienced in handling complete projects in the world of professional catering. Ambach was chosen, without any hesitation, once again, for the new kitchen at Savoy.
  • In order to best meet the needs of the school in terms of high-performance, the robust yet compact Ambach System 700 and System 700 double service cooking lines were installed with a single hygienic top, together with the System 900 line, perfect for the school’s high volumes.
  • The kitchen tops were welded in situ and occupy an overall surface area of 150 metres. Amazingly, the worktop alone (that connects the kitchen to the restaurant of the school, where the students practice) comprises 22 metres of stainless steel!
  • The project took two years and was the result of great teamwork between all the partners involved: the directors of the school, the team of architects, the technicians and the project managers from Niederbacher and Ambach.

  • The kitchen installed consists of a block with a single hygiene surface and glass ceramic hob.
  • The sides are welded seamlessly with an inside compartment with rounded corners.
