What they say
Three Michelin Keys
Michelin
Instead there’s a surprisingly vibrant streak running through the mod-luxe proceedings. Private balconies offer panoramic lake or mountain views, so everybody wins.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The hotel borders Lake Tegernsee in Rottach-Egern, with lakeside walking paths and alpine hiking trails starting right outside the property.
The rooms
Private balconies and terraces face either the lake or alpine ridges, paired with marble bathrooms and natural wood finishes.
The pool, saunas and gym
Bring a swimsuit.
A 28-meter heated indoor pool sits beneath a mirrored ceiling, accompanied by thermal saunas and a Technogym fitness studio.
The spa
Private spa suites open onto dedicated wooden decks, with curtained daybeds arranged inside for post-massage rest.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Dining ranges from Michelin-starred tasting menus at Restaurant Überfahrt to traditional Bavarian fare beside a tiled stove in Bayernstube.
How it began
Established in 1837 at a traditional ferry crossing, the grounds transformed from a rustic boat station into a grand lakeside retreat.
