The morphologic analysis of the original apartment emphasize that the night space presented a functional distribution of three rooms and two bathrooms, with minimum circulation area and a suitable size.

Banja Vrućica is a destination with a long and successful tradition of medical tourism. In order to accommodate the change in the guests’ habits and requirements, there has lately been a clear tendency for the development of wellness and congress tourism, which is most evident in the health resort’s flagship, Hotel Kardial. The extension and overhaul of the bathing and wellness sections of the hotel is thus a logical next step in the complex’s gradual transformation in this direction.
