Boutique Hotel Margretha, Zandvoort | Netherlands

The stylish, authentic monumental building with the original ornaments from the neo-Renaissance era is located in the centre of Zandvoort. The owner Harry Holsboer, who formerly worked in the IT industry, took on the listed building from the year 1896, renovated it and converted it into a hotel with six modern suites. Each suite is characterised by high ceilings with the same windows and offers a dining area, a kitchen, a seating area, a kingsize bed, air conditioning system, home automation and a bath with a rain shower. Some suites with a bedroom and/or jacuzzi have their own terrace.

In line with the boutique concept, the themes of the spacious suites refer to the history of Zandvoort. The theme of the Racing Green suites is therefore based on the historical story of the Zandvoort racetrack which is reflected both in the furnishings and the colour scheme. The Pearl Beach suites on the other hand with their "beach" theme portray the beach life of Zandvoort at the beginning of the last century. Finally, the Architecture suites incorporate the ornaments from the neo-Renaissance era and convert them into the colour scheme for the interior.

Sustainability and technology go hand in hand in the building. The energy-neutral hotel is controlled by the stable, wired JUNG KNX bus system and the JUNG Visu Pro server with JUNG Visu Pro Hotel software which has been specially developed for the hotel industry. This technology helps not only to save energy but is also the solution for a luxurious four star experience, both now and in the future. The installed JUNG KNX presence detector mini switches the light off when leaving the room, turns the heating down a few degrees and closes the curtains. Temperature sensors automatically regulate the air conditioning system and heating. The technical affinity even goes so far that the guests can log into the JUNG Smart Visu Pro Server Hotel with their smartphone on their arrival in the room, so that they can control everything personally from the light mood via the curtains and blinds to the heating and air conditioning system. The system is supplemented by switches and sockets from the LS 990 range in white and matt graphite black which have been labelled using the JUNG Graphic Tool.
