What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Guests have been receiving a warm and friendly Zumkeller family welcome here since 1850. Elegant country-style rooms, attractive suites and an appealing wellness centre and spa.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Quiet village lanes surround the grounds, and walking trails lead directly into the southern Black Forest.
The rooms
Reclaimed timber warms the updated country interiors, and the largest suites open onto private rooftop terraces.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The pool and spa
The indoor pool looks onto wood-paneled daybed alcoves, and a circular stone whirlpool sits out in the garden.
At the table
Four-course dinners are served out on the garden terrace, and pinecone pendant lights hang over the timber bar.
How it began
The property began as a 1596 postal stop, operating its own working farm and butchery well into the twentieth century.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.

It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.

Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
