Hotel Giardino Ascona Comprehensive Renovation

Omfattende hotellrenovering i Ascona

The Hotel Giardino in Ascona, Switzerland, underwent an extensive remodeling project managed by Implenia AG and its subsidiary Implenia Svizzera SA as the general contractor. The renovation occurred between November 2008 and March 2009 with a construction volume of approximately CHF 11.8 million, covering a total area of 2,100 m². Collaborating with Credit Suisse Real Estate Asset Management as the building owner and Raumforum GmbH Architektur as architect, the project involved multiple specialist planners and subcontractors.

Modernisering av rom og fasiliteter

The scope of work comprised a comprehensive conversion and refurbishment of the hotel’s main building, including modernization of 51 double rooms and 6 suites with new interior fittings, furnishings, and building services. The adjacent "Casa Rosa" was also renovated and extended, adding 3 double rooms and 12 suites with high-quality interiors. Additionally, the swimming pool area was integrated or refurbished to meet luxury hotel standards for technology, climate control, and hygiene. Building technology upgrades for HVAC and electrical systems were carefully coordinated with Protec SA and Elettronorma SA, while structural engineering tasks were led by Jelmoni Ingegneria SA.

Stram tidsplan med kontinuerlig drift

One of the main challenges was the tight construction schedule, requiring the entire conversion to be completed within just 16 weeks. This deadline was compounded by the need to maintain ongoing hotel operations with minimal disruption. Coordinating closely with hotel and catering services ensured quality and functionality throughout the renovation, while architectural and design updates provided a modern, high-end aesthetic consistent with the hotel's 5-star status.

Bevaring av grøntområder og verdi

Located in a tranquil, green setting in Ticino, the project embraced the site’s natural qualities, maintaining generous green spaces and enhancing value retention through premium refurbishment. Although no specific sustainability certifications were mentioned, the careful conservation of the building and surroundings contributed positively to the hotel’s environment and prestige.
