The design competition was won from among 25 entries by KAMP Arhitektid with their proposal \u201cAlt Pernau\u201d. In the plan, the existing beach building will house the new hotel\u2019s reception, some guest rooms, and restaurant spaces. Part of the second-floor restaurant will serve hotel guests, while the ground-level area along the beach promenade will remain open to beachgoers.<\/p>\n
The sales pavilions will be demolished and replaced with accommodation and spa facilities. A new pathway from the beach park and the street to the shoreline will also be created between the old and new buildings. The second floor of the extension is expected to include about 65 rooms. The spa areas will occupy the first floor and will also include a courtyard-style outdoor pool area.<\/p>\n
According to Orav, the winning proposal caught his positive attention from the start. It preserves the architectural solutions of the beach building thoughtfully, and the rest of the structures planned for the plot and its dividing public space will not visually dominate the view. \u201cThe extensions fit well with the existing Rannahoone, stepping respectfully a little back from it and from today\u2019s modern architectural language,\u201d he says. The construction works, costing around 20 million euros, are set to begin in roughly a year and a half.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n Around the same time, another spa hotel\u2014distinctly larger than Rannahoone with its 210 rooms and extensive entertainment, indoor event, and conference facilities\u2014will also be completed on P\u00e4rnu Beach. The four-storey complex, consisting of two separate buildings, currently carries the working name \u201cHotel Brackmann,\u201d and is led by Finnish hotel industry veteran Sari Sopanen<\/b>.<\/p>\n Construction of the spa hotel is already in full swing, and Sopanen recently told Estonian Public Broadcasting that the 70-million-euro project will continue through the coming summer. \u201cWe won\u2019t be taking a summer break; that\u2019s actually when the building frames will rise to their full height. I see it as an opportunity for beach loungers to follow our work like a free show,\u201d Sopanen said in an interview<\/span><\/a><\/span> with ERR.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Construction noise can also be expected in the coming years in central P\u00e4rnu. According to the building\u2019s owner, Hotel P\u00e4rnu, located on the edge of Independence Square, has reached an age where demolition and full reconstruction is the wisest solution<\/span><\/a><\/span>. The city council is already scheduled to review the new zoning plan in February. By around 2030, the area now occupied by the hotel and the surrounding block is intended to host a spa hotel, commercial premises, apartment buildings, and an underground parking facility.<\/p>\n The council is also reviewing a broader zoning plan concerning P\u00e4rnu\u2019s city centre and the surroundings of the newly built bridge across the river. If the proposed plans are implemented, the coming years may see the planning and construction of both an extension to the Port Artur shopping centre\u2019s hotel and a completely new tower <\/span><\/a><\/span>building\u2014up to 15 storeys tall\u2014housing commercial spaces and apartments.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" P\u00e4rnu\u2019s status as the second favourite Estonian travel destination for Finns after Tallinn rests on a remarkably solid foundation. … Read more<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":155797,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[13204,13334,14676,14952,15889,26891,26892,26893],"class_list":["post-155827","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-health-beauty","tag-parnu-2","tag-hotel","tag-sari-sopanen-2","tag-spa-2","tag-architecture","tag-rannahoone","tag-conference-centre","tag-rannahotell"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/155827","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=155827"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/155827\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":155828,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/155827\/revisions\/155828"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/155797"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=155827"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=155827"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=155827"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/brackmann-hotell-1024x640.jpg\")
