Located in the Latin Quarter of Copenhagen, the newly refurbished bathrooms in the exclusive 4+ Hotel SP34 feature Laufen sanitaryware, helping it appeal to a ‘luxury bohemian’ clientele. Hotel SP34, part of the Brøchner Hotels chain, has been designed to reflect the physical environment and atmosphere of Copenhagen’s Latin Quarter, with an air of luxury and quality throughout.

Formerly known as Hotel Fox, the accommodation has been expanded into two adjacent townhouses, to include 118 rooms and penthouse suites with skylight bathrooms and balconies with a panorama of the Danish capital.

Designed by Morten Hedegaard, a total of 65 rooms have been refurbished, with the bathrooms in each all featuring Laufen products. In keeping with the boutique hotel’s theme of contemporary living, one of the centre-pieces of the bathrooms is the Living City washbasin from Laufen, while some of the rooms have also been fitted with the Swiss manufacturer’s Laufen Pro bathtub.

With hygiene and ease of cleaning essential for hotels, Laufen Pro rimless WC was chosen for inclusion in each of the newly refurbished guest bathrooms. Offering the perfect complement style-wise to the Living City basin and Pro bathtub, the Pro rimless WC not only looks the part, but also features innovative flushing technology that prevents the build-up of germs and odour.

With no flushing rim, the water reaches every part of the inner basin and gives germs and bacteria no chance to get established. Offering the highest ever standards of hygiene, the Laufen Pro rimless WC is quick and easy to clean, making it the ideal choice for Hotel SP34, where cleaning times need to be quick and a high degree of hygiene is guaranteed.

Commenting on the specification of Laufen products for Copenhagen’s Hotel SP34, Managing Director of Brøchner Hotels, Karim Nielsen said: “We wanted to create a boutique hotel that would appeal to quality conscious guests from Denmark and abroad. We were looking for a different, fresh brand that reflected this image and we found this with Laufen.”

Laufen Nordic Managing Director Soren Hougaard commented: “Hotel bathrooms should be comfortable and luxurious for guests, yet they also need to be practical spaces that are easy to keep clean. By choosing Laufen products for each of its refurbished rooms, Hotel SP34 can rest assured that guests will feel pampered throughout the stay.”

Laufen supplies bathroom solutions for commercial projects around the world and are passionate about bringing the very highest user satisfaction for clients, and ultimately, their guests. This is through an open partnership approach with the highest level of professionalism, through logistics and project management.
