What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The rooms and suites in the historical hotel buildings are a handsome mix of period architectural elements and antique and modernist design gestures, while those in the newer buildings are more straightforwardly contemporary.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Paths lead directly from the lakeshore up to Neuschwanstein Castle, with the town of Füssen ten minutes north.
The rooms
Rooms in the historic lodges keep their antiques and canopy beds, and newer wings look out across Lake Alpsee.
The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The indoor pool looks across Lake Alpsee through panoramic windows and includes an integrated waterfall.
The spa and gym
Timber saunas look out toward the mountains, and the 24-hour gym is stocked with Technogym cardio machines.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Dining terraces look straight up at Neuschwanstein Castle, and Ludwig Bar serves drinks across a brass counter.
How it began
Bavaria's royal Wittelsbach foundation developed the estate, restoring a 1786 hunting lodge and royal stables alongside new pavilions.
