“Ammolite – House of Light” Reopens with New Design Concept

(eap) The fine dining venue Ammolite – The Lighthouse Restaurant, located in the lighthouse of the four-star superior hotel Bell Rock at the Europa-Park Resort, was ceremonially reopened yesterday under a new name following an extensive redesign. Head chef Peter Hagen-Wiest has been responsible for the restaurant’s culinary direction since 2012, which has been awarded two Michelin stars for the eleventh consecutive time. Now operating as Ammolite – House of Light, the restaurant combines a newly designed interior with its established cuisine, which unites classical, Mediterranean and international styles in eight-course menus.

The lighthouse rotunda has been completely reimagined and now features a separate entrance. The design follows a modern, deliberately understated concept that places the focus on the product and the cuisine, while also aiming to create a more spacious feel. This is supported by a coordinated colour and material concept. Among the design highlights is the newly installed walk-in “WineChamber”. In addition, an individual sound concept has been implemented, featuring a specially composed music mix by international DJ Jaden Bojsen.

“The Ammolite has always been a matter close to my heart. No one would have believed at the beginning that we would become this successful. All the more, I am now looking forward to the reopening with an innovative design concept,” emphasised Thomas Mack, managing partner of Europa-Park. Two-star chef Hagen-Wiest added: “We are very pleased with the successful redesign of the restaurant, which will offer guests an even more enjoyable dining experience. At the same time, it inspires us as a team to refine our cuisine with even greater attention to detail.” ■
