What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Only the highest quality materials, local wood and homely fabrics have been used to renovate this hotel which now epitomises modern elegance.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Tucked on Oberstdorf's quiet southern edge, hiking trails start right outside, with the Nebelhornbahn cable car just a short walk away.
The rooms
South-facing balconies overlook mountain peaks, while interiors combine pale local timber, textured regional stone, and understated fabrics.
The pool and gym
Bring a swimsuit.
Timber finishes frame the heated indoor pool, set beside a bright fitness studio and an indoor golf simulator.
The spa
Vinotherapy rituals headline the treatment menu, and the thermal circuit includes five saunas and a brine gallery.
At the table
Multi-course dinners highlight regional Allgäu produce, and the wood-slatted bar lounge gathers guests around a grand piano.
How it began
Founded in 1970, each room takes its name from the surrounding mountain lakes and alpine rivers of the Allgäu.
