Viesnīcas interjers ir harmonisks līdzsvars starp wabi-sabi pieeju, rustikālu eleganci un dabiskām faktūrām — te dominē koks, akmens un lins. Katrā telpas detaļā jūtama pārdomāta izvēle un cilvēciska piesaiste. Dizaina koncepciju radījis Roalds Cinis, bet apdari papildina vietējo meistaru roku darbs: “Ciparnīcas” keramikas trauki, darināti pledi un Latvijas tējas.

Viesiem piedāvāti seši divvietīgi numuri, koplietošanas virtuve un mājīgs salons, kā arī klusas lasīšanas vietas ar grāmatām un mazs vīna pagrabiņš. Boutique Hotel Altenburg atspoguļo lēnās dzīves filozofiju — tā ir vieta nesteidzīgai atpūtai, klusumam un pievēršanās sev.
