What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Its 156 rooms and suites are spread across multiple heritage buildings, and are decorated in a handsome and tasteful contemporary-classic style.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Beside the Kurpark in Bad Wörishofen, a calm stroll from the spa town centre.
The rooms
Bedrooms occupy interconnected wings in calm, classic tones, and many open onto balconies overlooking the hotel gardens.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
A heated 21-metre infinity pool sits beside an open fire pit, and three indoor pools look out through arched windows.
The spa
Bathers move between a brine steam bath and a 90 °C Finnish sauna before resting on circular daybeds in timber niches.
The gym
Technogym cardio machines and Qionic vibration trainers line the studio, where instructors also lead daily gymnastics classes.
At the table
König Ludwig Lounge serves regional Bavarian cooking under rustic timber beams, and Murano Bar mixes cocktails into the night.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.

Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
