What they say
Three Michelin Keys
Michelin
The storybook facades and evocative Black Forest backdrop make Hotel Bareiss a perennial favorite and regional mainstay, over three generations.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Valley footpaths wind from the village directly into deep spruce woods, leading hikers toward the hotel's traditional Sattelei forest cabin.
The rooms
Country house rooms and suites feature classic wood wainscoting, fireplaces, fresh bouquets, and balconies overlooking evergreen Black Forest hillsides.
The swimming pond
Bring a swimsuit.
Wooden sundecks and hooded strandkorb chairs line the natural bathing pond, set against spruce-covered hillsides.
The spa
Quiet lounges with daybeds look out over pine-covered slopes, near five saunas, steam baths, and Biologique Recherche facials.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Three-Michelin-starred Restaurant Bareiss serves classic French haute cuisine, and the wood-paneled bar pours evening drinks beside an open hearth.
How it began
Hermine Bareiss opened a six-room inn here in 1951, which her family expanded across three generations into a storied forest estate.
