What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
This family-run hotel with modern Alpine rooms is on the site of a former farmstead dating from 1714.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
On an Alpine high plateau in Hellengerst, surrounded by an 18-hole golf course fifteen kilometres from Kempten.
The rooms
Rooms use pale Alpine timber throughout. Split-level suites add private saunas or whirlpools out on their balconies.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Five bubble loungers line the heated outdoor pool, and the indoor pool has a push-button counter-current system.
The spa
The brine inhalation lounge disperses dry salt mist at 35 °C, and timber relaxation rooms look out onto the garden.
At the table
Dining rooms warmed by traditional tiled stoves serve local Allgäu beef, and the cellar holds more than 400 wines.
How it began
When milk quotas threatened the family dairy farm in the 1980s, visiting Scottish soldiers suggested turning the pastures into fairways.
