What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Hotel Bei Schumann sprouts like an Art Deco bloom from the gentle, meadowed highlands, peacefully at one with its surroundings.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Forested trails and gentle Saxon hills begin right at the doorstep, offering quiet walks through the Upper Lusatian countryside.
The rooms
Natural timber frames the newer eco-wing suites, while rooms in the main building feature blonde woods, warm textiles, and meadow views.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
A columned indoor pool opens to the grounds, and a cantilevered glass pool projects toward the forest canopy.
The spa
Nine themed saunas and panoramic glass cabins accompany a snow room chilled with real powder snow.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Michelin-starred Juwel serves modern regional tasting menus, and Weberstube plates traditional Saxon dishes in wood-paneled parlors.
How it began

Founded in 1994 by the Schumann family, the retreat expanded over decades from a countryside getaway into an expansive thermal sanctuary.
