The rooms
The renovation, designed by Altrostudio Architetti and carried out by Concreta, began with the transformation of the hotel’s fourth floor, where all 13 rooms and Junior Suites were completely refurbished. The aim of the project was to integrate a fresh, modern design concept into a "historic shell", preserving the hotel’s traditional soul, which continues to be a local landmark. Elements that were once purely functional are reimagined, becoming carriers of ideas and meaning.
The bed headboard, inspired by the ground floor's wood paneling (boiserie), features soft indirect lighting that enhances its beauty. Made from treated aged fir wood, it is enriched with traditional-style frames and moldings, giving the wall a three-dimensional character and establishing a strong visual link between historical tradition and contemporary elegance.
Previous furnishings were replaced with newly designed pieces, such as aged wood bedside tables, wall-mounted coat panels, and mirrors with carved wooden frames. At the same time, certain original features of the structure were preserved, including the wooden flooring and the dove-grey floral wallpaper.
To give the rooms a distinctive character aligned with the Hyatt brand style, vibrant and welcoming fabrics and curtains were selected. The deep red tones of the blackout curtains and the various shades of green used in the upholstered elements also serve as a subtle nod to the local territory and the surrounding mountain landscape.
A particularly interesting detail is the reinterpretation of the traditional mountain sled. Its classic, upward-curving shape has been cleverly adapted by the designers into a wooden radiator cover, a functional object that evokes Alpine tradition, reimagined with a modern and refined design.
The bathroom environment has also been reinterpreted through a contemporary lens. Solid fir wood furniture echoes the room’s overall aesthetic, enriched with painted bronze-colored metal details and Calacatta marble inserts on the countertop surfaces.

Common areas
In the common areas of Hotel Flüela Davos, the restyling work carried out by Concreta, based on the design by Altrostudio Architetti, focused primarily on the entrance hall and reception area. The objective was to establish a cohesive stylistic identity across all zones of the hotel, which had previously featured contrasting design styles.
The project centered on developing a guiding design language capable of harmonizing the spaces, giving the entire property a refined and visually continuous character.
The lounge hall, originally separated from the entrance, was opened up to encourage greater interaction and to create a more spacious and welcoming environment. This transformation also allowed for an increase in natural light throughout the area.
The original black lacquered wood paneling (boiserie) was replaced with aged fir wood, the same material used in the adjacent room leading to the bar. This material and stylistic continuity recalls the distinctive elements found in the guest rooms, such as the traditional-style frames and moldings.
Concreta’s work ultimately resulted in an elegant and well-balanced space, where modern design and local tradition meet to create a welcoming and impactful atmosphere, one that greets guests in every corner of the hotel.
